"Bell and Carlson stocks are constructed using a "hand lay-up" process, using a variety of "composite" materials. These composites, including fiberglass, aramid fibers, graphite, epoxy gel coats and laminating resins; and polyurethane reinforcement with milled fiberglass, provide a warm and solid feel rather than the hollow, toy like impression one gets from injection molded stocks. "
The preceding is directly from their webpage.

I am going to make one ASSUMPTION here. And only one. and that ASSUMPTION is that you do not know what you are talking about. Obvioulsy you don't know the differences between synthetic stocks.
As 2 much said. Injection molded=Plastic. It is that simple.
But that is still not the point.
A company makes products to the specifications of the end user.
For example the same manufacurer that makes Night Force scopes also makes a sub $100 cheap scope as well. So would you say NF is bad because the same manufacturer also make a cheap product?? NO. No one would do that.
Same as B&C. Do they make some cheap products?? Yes they do. But just because they make an inexpensive stock that does not preclude them from also building a higher grade stock?? Does it??
You specifically said that Cooper was using the cheap $144 plastic stock that B&C made. And when you said that you were wrong. It is that simple. The Cooper stock IS NOT PLASTIC. Is that simple enough for you?? Where have I misread anything?? SHHEEESSSSHHHHH.
Stop making assumptions. Tom.
