      It would be pretty crazy looking though, an all carbon fiber mag...

                Yep, they are right. It is a Karta that was covered in a carbon fiber wrap. It looked cool as hell, but it wasn't any lighter (and actualy might have been heavier) than a normal Karta.

                      what do you mean carbon fiber is just as strong as metal and an almost all carbon body wouldnt be too hard to do you would just have to mold a thin metal flange to take the impact from the bolt and rubing from the spring!!

                          thecavemankevin and nt2004 do you guys have any clue what real carbon fiber looks like?

                          The picture above is just a paint job.

                          Example of real CF:

                            It's not a paint job, at least what Colin had wasn't. Its a very thin sheet of real carbon fiber that gets glued on like contact paper. Although I think there is a process to putting it on that is a little more complex, it isn't something that is going to peel off.

                              spogear.com did the CF ULE pictured above.

                              I got to check it out at World Cup.

                              Its a great finish, I've been trying to contact them about doing a custom coating on one of my project guns.
