Quoted: When I consider stocks in the $200 plus range I am leary about getting one that has been discontinued. I have never even seen a M93B but the fact that the manufacturer considers it a dead design and has chosen to move in another direction says alot. I wouldn't want to have a problem in the future and have no source for parts or repair.

Rich will still continue to support the M93x series of stocks despite the line being discontinued. Even when the day comes where there are no longer replacement parts being made for the M93s, the unheard of trade in service that Magpul generously offers virtually guarantees your investment.
If you owned a M93B, you will SURELY see why it's one of the best collapsable stocks out in the market today. Everything from it's engineering, styling (well, perhaps this appeal will vary from user to user), reliability, and modularity is in place with this stock. If nothing else, it's discontinued status should encourage you and most existing owners to run out and get one (or an additional) before they are all gone.
Also, to reiterate, Magpul discontinued the line because the high production costs of this design was not very cost effective for the company. I'm sure if they decided to market the M93B for $350, the production costs factor may not be an issue, but how fair would it be to the buyers? In an effort to be fair to everyone and remain viable for the company, a move to a newer design with streamlined production methods emerged. Don't interpret the move as an indication that the M93B was flawed in design.
I'm VERY eager to see what the M93B's successor, the UBR, will be like. It has HUGE shoes to fill. I have a couple of people who will be at SHOT to see if we can get a sneak peek pic.
