TRG Owners, need a cheek spacer?

[Mike]

Sure, it's not the prettiest but functions great.

Cost?

$.69 yardstick from Lowe's
$.75 longer screw from Fastenal

Wood glue.

A little sanding, a little shaping and Voila!

Nice.
I still like Terje's with the flexibility it offers.

Just my .02

Me too, but this one costs less than a buck fifty.

Nice, I wondered if anyone had tried something like that, yours was simpler than what I had thought of.

Stefan, I believe Terje makes quality stuff (from what I've seen) and I will find myself eventually getting something from him. But this settled a couple of issues.

1, I didn't know what size I needed. Now, when I order I can order the correct size.

2, it took me all about a half hour from start to finish.

3, I paid for everything with spare change from my car.

Sure, it looks like crap but the NPA is just about better than any rifle I've ever had.

I've got a coupe of black hawk lace up cheek rests, new never used, if y'all want something a little better.

I've used stacked washers to get the height. Only thing that sucks is the space being open between the stock and cheekpiece.

Nice, let me know how well it holds up.

Re: TRG Owners, need a cheek spacer?

I used a piece of acrylic on mine. It's appx 1/2" thick. After shaping it, I sprayed it black with Duracoat. Like the OP, I purchased a long screw at Fastenal. Works like a champ.

What you you guys think about a drop-in "on the fly" adjustable cheek piece?

Yes. The first step in recovery is admitting to 'gearwhorholic'

I think my bank account is going to be on a permanent diet with you guys around...

Re: TRG Owners, need a cheek spacer?

I made one with stacked leather. Sort of the same idea that is used to make knife handles. Just keep stacking up precision cut leather (horsehide) washers the shape of the cheekpiece until I get the perfect height. Then, glue the pieces of leather together, dye 'em, and all done.

I just love cheap, effective fixes.
