This probably one of those once a week questions so I apologize.
Where do I look for non-permanent cheek rest for my M1A ? I'd like something that will create a good cheek weld for a Gen I Springfield mounted scope. Thanks Motor |

Plenty of them out there. Made from Kydex, nylon and leather. Some are adjustable and some are not.
Tactical Night Vision Company makes a nice nylon one... 
Bradley makes a Kydex adjustable one. Google M14 cheek rest and there will be others. |
| One of my military shooters made a cheek rest for his M-14 from a padded knee pad and duct tape. Add or take off some to get exactly what you want. You'll lose "Coolness" points with the wannabe shooters; however, you will get a functional cheek rest and improved scope use. Just a suggestion. |

I used a Cooper elbow pad left over from my roller hockey days. My son had a rough day afield with the rifle deer hunting. This was before I put the cheek rest on. This past weekend I test fired the rifle. I shot a 5 shot group with 147gr fmjs ( my hand load using WC-844 powder) at 50yards. The group was 1" above POA and could be covered with a nickel. At 100 yards the hunting load was only about an inch higher that where we intended it. Could the lack of decent cheek weld have made a substantial difference in POI ? Motor |

I have to admit, I just built up mine with a sock and some black Gorilla tape. I didn't do it overly high though because I still wanted to use the irons. But it helps. Made mine with two layers of cut up insul pad ( closed cell foam) and tape, ugly but works. |
