Whiskey 3 cheek piece... man that hurts!

[Beepy]

Love my W3 chassis, however I got my hawaiian grandfathers high cheek bones and that little piece hurts like the dickens after shooting. Not recoil wise, it just does not have any padding. I am used to having a nice padded stock pack on my manners...

Any body come up with a way of padding that sucker?

Thats why I sold mine after never even bolting an action into it.

Its just like AI's comb......hard, small and uncomfortable.

I use a thick mouse pad, cut to shape, on any cheek piece that I need to soften up. Apply with the appropriate GOO and you're good.

This is what i did with my KRG W3. I got the material from Tactical Supply in Yakima, Wa. I know for a fact that he has extra material. You can reach him via his contact info on his website tacticalsupplier.com

It is material manufactured by a company called "sticky"

nokick.com sells a cheek pad in various thicknesses (1/16"; 1/8"; 3/16"; 1/4") with an adhesive back. The pad is oblong and about 5" x 6" which is more than enough to cover the W3 cheek piece. You may be able to get two or three out of one.
Cheek Eez

I have the same issue with the cheekbones, so I am making a replica of the Sako TRG cheekpiece to replace the W3 profile. It's tapered at the front so it fits my face better.

Hey, I forgot about the cheek ez.... I was thinking about just duct taping some foam....

Maybe, KRG will work on that (wink, wink)

thanks!

Digging up an old one here. I'll go take some pictures of mine. I made a drop down, rollover cheek piece from thick Kydex. Of course I tooled a piece of leather bonded to mine for style points and because I could. I'll post a pic of it for you guys.

Wiebad mini stock pad

1/8" thick mouse pad cut to fit and glued to cheek piece with contact cement. This works great, is durable and one mouse pad will do at least three rifles.

1/4" abs heated in the oven and shaped.

Does your W3 use the over mold cheekpiece? I like the over mold cheek piece which was better than the smaller hard plastic one.

Mine has the hard plastic version. I made the rollover ABS one and couldn't be happier with it. I have not tried the molded one, at this point I probably won't...mine cost 1.25 to make and about 30 minutes of work.....
