Truthfully, I wouldn't mind shooting a gun with an entire receiver made out of fiberglass/carbon fiber. If the barrel were made out of fiberglass/carbon fiber too, and it worked as well as a steel barrel, I would be fine with that too. Fiberglass/carbon fiber does not rust, so you could hunt some pretty tough weather and not have to worry too much about the gun.
As far as the Remington is concerned, I don't know why there is just a piece of carbon fiber on the receiver. That does look pretty ugly. I love the use of carbon fiber on the Benelli Super Sport II's stock and forearm.
