I got to pick up my latest barrel from the gunsmith the other day. Other than that, I am in no way affiliated with him.
He showed me a pet project of his. It is a pretty simple cheek piece knob that contains a lever that is held in by a detent. You can pop the lever out, and get more torque on it to keep the cheek piece from loosening up over time. It works well enough that I can't get my cheek piece to fall with a moderate hammer fist. I think he said he's going to or already is making them for Terry's Loggerhead design too.
Also it is coated, and the knobs on my A4 saddle cheek piece and one A5 clamp bar started to try to rust on me.
It is nothing earth shattering, but it solves a simple gripe I've had about several of my McMs over the years and I'll be getting more...especially if he makes them for the saddle cheek piece because my OEM McMillans need tightening after every 20 rounds or so. I am not linking anything for fear of getting banned, but the guy's name is Matt Stewart of Stewart Rifles out of OK if you Google search.
