Building up a stock for cheek weld
- Thread starter Klemm
- Start date
If you'd prefer to not modify your stock or deal with adhesives, a neoprene sleeve with padded inserts works well for traditional stocks.
e.g.
e.g.
Comb Raising Kit 2.0™ //
The CRK increases your gunstock height by adding hi-density foam inserts underneath a neoprene sleeve. Excellent and affordable way to gain proper eye alignment. No gunsmithing or drilling, simply pull on cover and insert foam piece(s) to obtain your desired stock height increase. Also improves...

I built my own from a carbon fiber and jeans micarta. It worked great. I am doing a complete forend for my TRG in a similar way right now.

Makes a sweet cheek pad on here and I put a chunk of closed cell foam to bump up my cheek piece.

Loggerhead. First, its built like a brick shit house and second, Terry Cross is a great human being and makes really fucking good shit.
Joe Ducos did mine, he's also a great guy, and did a terrific job

Note that it not only adjusts up/down and has an E-clip and ridges so you can mark your height and return to it exactly when removed for cleaning or to just remove the bolt, but it also adjusts some side to side to help alleviate the need to roll your head over to get in the eye box. Its 2020, make your gun fit you and not you fit your gun.
This is the Loggerhead kit
This is my 700 5R with HS stock with Loggerhead installed

And, the Loggerhead comes with a 3/16" hex bolt to tighten it but TS Custom makes a quick adjust knob that is tool-less if you prefer. For some reason, they are not shown on TS Custom's site but are available elsewhere. I bought mine from Primal Rights

McMillan is saying that they cannot install they’re adjustable cheek rest on a stock that was not ordered with it. Something to do with the Riser being molded separately. And the stock is hollow in that area. This is a question I asked about a McMillan game warden stock. Looks like I need to get more clarification From McMillen oar just contact Terry Cross.
I don't understand the appeal of comb adjustment hardware that needs a freaking tool to adjust.
I have always used these. They adjust instantly without tools and they stay put.
Warner Tool also makes one: https://www.warner-tool.com/product/wtc-cheekpiece-hardware-assembly/

What do you have on the grip of the rifle that looks like black tape or velcro? And what is its purpose?
From Terry Cross' KMW website for the Loggerhead:
" The LoggerHead A.C.P. hardware is primarily designed to work with the excellent McMillan Fiberglass Stocks and Manners Composite Stocks that are molded with separate integral adjustable cheek piece. It can also be custom installed in properly made synthetic and wood laminate stocks available from other manufacturers. "
And there is more relevant info on his page:

So is it a Remington stock or a McMillan? If it’s a McMillan just send it out to stock doc and have him install the KMW hardware. If it’s a Remington stock, not worth putting the $$ into it and at that point I’d just go with the Triad stock pack. It comes with little Velcro strips to adjust the height.
Thats just skateboard grip tape. I use it on a few of my rifles. That stock had a pretty slippery surface, when you are cold and wet you want some friction.
