Gunsmithing Is it possible to add an adjustable cheek riser to a manners carbon fiber stock?

[goneballistic]

I got a CZ 457 Precision Trainer in the manners carbon stock. it's very light, and very comfortable, but I really want an adjustable cheek riser.

I see several companies that sell hardward to install one of these. It looks like you'd use a fine saw to cut the cheek riser shape out of the main stock. I am assuming I'd then need to inlet the bottom half of the stock for the hardware, drill a hole in the side for the lock/tensioning screw, and installed the"pillars" into the cheek piece.

My question is about the nature of these stocks, they are a shell, with I assume foam filling. Which means sealing the bottom half of the now open stock with probably devcon or expoxy/carbon fiber, and probably capping the cut off cheek piece with carbon fiber or even just a thin layer of solid epoxy, when bedding the two pillars that extend down into the stock.


is this doable or am I stuck with one of the Kydex wrap over cheek risers that use two cross drilled bolts in the stock?

someone told me you can also just ship it to manners and they'll add one. I'm going to call them as soon as I get a chance.

I'll add to the recommendations for @jducos. He's worked on a few of my stocks and always returns beautiful work.

Hopefully he's still at it; if you click on his profile it says he was "last seen" in 2014.....

@jducos just added a cheek piece to one of my husbands stocks a couple of months ago, so he's definitely still at it.

OK... evidently he no longer uses his "StockDoc" member profile. Thanks!

1911, I'm still at it. The stockdoc handle was with the original hide site and when they changed to the last hide my handle somehow got changed to jeducos. Anyway, I'm still doing installs and other custom work.

Pm me for information.
