Alternatives to Ace Skeleton Stock for AR?

[ClangClang]

I'm currently building up my first AR and I've got just about all the parts I need (or they're on the way) but one thing I can't find is a stock. I've got my heart set on a full length (9.9") Ace Skeleton but can't find it anywhere. It's all sold out (or asking 50% over MSRP, which ain't gonna happen... momma didn't raise no fool). I've got one in my shopping cart at Midway, but it's been on backorder for 2 weeks, and the "Expected In Stock" date keeps on being pushed back.

I'm looking for a very strong, lightweight, non-adjustable/extendable stock around the $70 mark. The Ace is perfect for me, but I can't find any. Are there other comparable stocks on the market that I should be looking at?

The A2 is maybe a couple oz more. Still light IMO.

What's wrong with the standard A2 stock? Its very light, very durable, not adjustable, and less expensive than the ACE skeleton. Midway has em in stock ready to ship for $55.

While I cannot vouch for the quality, for the price it may be worth a shot until you can get an ACE. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390592846720?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Magpul also makes a A2 upgrade simply called the rifle stock. Though its not skeleton it still looks good and is incredibly light. It also hits your $70 price point on the head

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I didnt know Magpul had a skeleton stock, that's pretty cool.

And dang, would you look at that. Brownell's! It didn't turn up on 2 search engines.

24" factory Bushmaster varminter replaced A2 stock. You will need a A1 or A2 buffer tube, rifle buffer and spring.
If your rifle didnt come with these.
Scope is burris fillfield 2 4-12x42 AO.

Had an ACE stock and hated it. I dumped it and moved to an A1 stock and haven't regretted it at all. I get better LOP and cheek weld on the A1 and that was the deciding factor for me.
