What adjustable cheek rest is this?

Found the answer after more research, and for those wondering the owner of this rifle said:
". The cheek rest was made using some scrap coyote brown kydex I had left over from a holster project. It's pretty easy to work with after some practice. I glued some thin craft foam on the upper surface for a more comfortable cheek weld. Hardware is some flat headed furniture bolts from the hardware section at Lowes and some knurled steel 1/4-20 nuts from McMaster Carr."

Here is the web page for Stocky's Karsten cheek riser. I have 3, 2 with the recessed locking nut and 1 with the hand turn nuts. With a bolt gun you have to lower the rest or take it off or take the rifle out of the stock, to clean it. With the hand turn nut, you can mark the rest, but it still doesn't come right back to location, where the recessed nuts go into a hole in the slot, so they go back the same all of the time. The hand turn one came on a stock I got for a Remington, and after using it I swapped it with the one I got for my M1A, because it cleans from the front. Really like them and I have several rifles with built in adjustable check rests and these work just as good and are easy to install, and don't add weight like the built in ones do.

It is a beautiful rifle, very well done. But what is that "thing" behind the muzzle brake on the barrel? What does it do? It reminds me of an AR15/10 gas block, but on a bolt action rifle?
it looks like the barrel has been turned down but i have never seen it on a bolt gun before.
Yes they do but the problem with the Karsten on this stock is it covers the rear sling mount, whereas with this design he allowed for the rear sling mount. Also it appears he made a notch in the top of the rest for the bolt.
