Aloha Roby:
Welcome Aboard!!! I think there are alternatives but I am not sure if they would be appropriate for your needs. But one thing for certain, almost any stock replacing the black krinkle should be an improvement.
Much would depend on what or how you plan on using this rifle after getting it restocked. If it's a match shooter you want, then McMillan is a GREAT way to go, as a McMillan Match substitute, you might consider a wood "heavy" that works extremely well but may have some of the problems associated with wood (swelling, etc.).
If a rifle to take hunting, any of the wood or synthetic USGI stocks should work well.
If you want custom camo synthetic stocks, you might consider Hawk and Law483 for custom tactical type stocks and Whamo Camo for your hand painted camo... I own many of the WhamoCamo stocks and love them...
Another alternative is custom painted stocks by Skwid... his designs give a stock a look that must be seen to believe.
One last alternative is to build your own... I know I say this so casually and it does take a lot of hard work but it is an alternative. This is what I built recently...

I think you can say there are a lot of alternatives out there!!! It all depends on what you want! This forum is a GREAT way to discover new things associated with the M14 type rifle!!!
Again, Welcome Aboard!
