Best AR Cal-Legal Skeleton Stock?

[Bobby Hated]

so i want to put a skeleton stock on my 3gun rifle.

these are the only decent looking skeleton stocks i can find and from some of the negative reviews im hesitant to buy one. i would prefer the shorty as i keep my adjustable ACS and CTR stocks at one or two notches off the receiver. but it seems the pad gets choped up by the CH, some off them come with mising or mismatched parts, etc.

is there anything better than this on the market? i dont care how much it costs.

I've never had trouble with mismatched parts from ACE.

If length is an issue, I suggest buying the Ultralight Entry stock. It doesn't have the second smaller tube but that allows you to rotate it if you please and it's just a buffer tube, spring and buffer away from an A1 rifle length setup.

My foam pads seem to be doing fine too (but I don't do lots of malfunction drills or tactical charging handle work).

Ace ARUL for a light weight build. At first when I took it out of the box, I was like ehhh kinda seems cheap, but once I put it on the rifle it seemed great. Sturdy but I wouldnt use it to beat someone.

I think I paid like $10 for shipping here, got it in like 3 days from texas to San diego



Also its basically just a buttpeice that attaches to the extension tube, very easy to assemble.

Those things are ugly as sin.

ACE makes quality stuff. If your worried about the foam getting damaged by the charging handle, you can buy rubber tubing from Exile Machine for 6.99

yeah well im not really worried about the people who had great experiences with ACE stocks, im worried about the people who didnt. and there are a numberr of them on those reviews on midway if you read through them.

I have an ACE full length 9.5". I have had no issues with the CH tearing the foam that came with it.

The ace stock works fine. I have the longer one and have had zero problems. Been using it four years on a .458 SOCOM.

I read the reviews for the shorter stock and I would disregard the negative reviews. The problems are most likely self inflicted due to poor reading comprehension and inability to follow instructions, poor mechanical ability, unable to think through a problem and devise an answer and possibly all of the above.

The rant above applies to most reviews I have read. When negative reviews start exceeding 50% then there may be a problem.

I have bought an ACE ARFX Skeleton stock (rifle length) and it's fine, easy install, works perfect, solid and the foam is fine after years of (light) use (I should get to the range more).

I have bought an ACE ARUL-E ultra light entry stock and it's fine. I've had it on and off a few receivers for mock up but haven't actually used it yet. I've never put the foam on but seeing that my ARFX is fine, I expect no issues.

I have bought an ACE pistol buffer tube setup and it is fine also. I didn't wind up using it because I liked the PWS enhanced pistol buffer tube better but there is nothing wrong with it at all.

I have bought a pistol buffer tube gusset for use with a no-name "space gun" adjustable stock and it's fine too.

Every part I've bought from ACE has been good to go, well designed and pretty reasonably priced.

I'm sorry I can't help you out with a bad review.

So i ended up getting the 10" ace skeleton stock. I absolutely LOVE it.

[gun toting monkeyboy]

I have the ARUL and the ARFX. I have had no problems with either of them. They have both held up well for several years. No tearing or anything else like that.
