Looking for a stock that's heavier than my A2.

I finished building up my AR and realized that it was severely nose-heavy. I'm looking to replace the A2 with something heavier. I would prefer a fixed stock so I won't have to change the buffer tube and pin a collapsable.
What are my options?

They do make weights that fit in the storage compartment of the A2 stock. That might be a cheaper option, unless you're dead set on changing the stock.
Any room to remove weight off of the front end?

PRS, mine balanced my OBR perfectly.

I would love to get a prs but I don't have $240 to spend on a stock right now. my budget is around $75-100 max. what are the weights called? who sells them?

Brownells carries the weight as I'm sure others do also.

The easiest and one of the best ($$$ cheapest $$$) ways is to put lead shot into the compartment in the butt. It will balance the rifle nicely for you.

I filled the cavity in the stock with plumber's putty. I wasn't looking for a lot of weight, and I didn't want a 3 1/2 pound lead weight. My 6724 tops the scales at an even 12 pounds with bipod and scope. Good balance and the plumber's putty never hardens, is fairly cheap, and if you needed a little more weight you could shove some fishing weights into the putty so they won't rattle around. My 7 year old daughter can handle the recoil all day long, even with full power loads.
