M500A1 Buttstock Cheek rest (Home made)
4
Alright, so I looked online and saw a few cheek rest but their either out of my price range or doesnt fit the stock Im looking for. I got tired of surfing the net and tired of looking around and waiting for the shipment so I decided I was going to make one.
Back when I was younger I use to make alot of airsoft/paintball bazooka for event days. Well, I had alot of PVS pipes laying around so I decided I was going to use one for my cheek rest.
I used a 3" pvc pipe and cut it to fit the collapsible stock. I then hack saw in the center to open up the pipe and put it in boiling water for about 5 minutes. I hand mold the pvc pipe to my liking and put it on the sand belt for a few minutes and wa-la! I then painted it flat black and the project was done. Took about 20-25 minutes to make.
I needed the cheek rest to level my eyes with the RDS. At first I was just using beads so I didnt need it. Anyways, heres the before and after pic:
