I looked online for one and between the prices and how ugly they are, I figured I'd save myself a few bucks and make one. It doesn't look any worse than most I found online, and If I toss it, no big deal. I used a piece of foam pipe wrap and some camo wrap I had here. It works.

It looks....um...functional.

So you not only put a luggage rack and saddle bag mounts on your rifle, you put left over plumbing stuff on the place you are going to put your face.

Do they still make the lace on cheek pieces I used to see on American military sniper rifles? I thought those looked good.

Bountyhunter

They do make them. They don't look any better than what I got on there imo. It doesn't have to be pretty to be functional. I forget that the members on this site only own BBQ guns, and don't actually use them for anything other than showing off. I'll have to remember that if I don't pay a lot of cash for some POS that is made by a pro then it doesn't belong on a gun or even in this world. I wonder how the French underground and all the rest got by in WWII? They must have scrounged around and ordered all kinds of pretty stuff online for their guns. Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to kill Nazi's. Lord knows you can't defend yourself, or your family with a functional gun as well as you can with a pretty gun. Perhaps some of you should take another look at those pink Charter Arms revolvers. They might be pretty enough to defend yourselves.

...simmer down, Sarge...you got one old mutt who agrees with you...I don't want it if'n it don't work...I don't care what it looks like as long as it gets the job done, and I once screwed shell loops to a wooden stock to keep from buying an elastic girdle type...you and I can stand overwatch for the pretty gun parade....

...you hush, you and your comments on lace on cheek pieces...must have been a French product...we Americans have always used leather...

Looks like it will work and don’t look bad at all. jmho

...the bottom line is where the holes go...betcha it'll work just fine....

I just got of the phone with the Taliban and explained to them that they can never win a war with the ugly stuff they gather up and use. While I understand it's all functional, it isn't pretty enough to cause harm. They said they'd pack it up and call it a day. I think we just ended 8 years of fighting. Congrats on us.

Boy are you a SA today

Bountyhunter

You're lucky I don't know what that means.

XLCH

Okay then we will leave it at that buddy

Bountyhunter

Oh you snarky little man. :P

...I, being a loyal pooch, have only one question...did you knot it on, or did you use pink-headed diaper pins...

...I'd love to know more about the raggedy wrapped raghead rifles that made us bring back our M14 to be able to match...I've seen pictures of some of them but no closeups...some of them are looooooooooong range weapons...yours looks exquisite next to them....

your stuff sure looks alot better than theirs

Bountyhunter

That's what I thought, Pete. I like the fact that I can take a few things that I have on hand and make something functional, that others need to order online. Sure it's nice to be able to go online and order all the latest, greatest, "tacticool" pieces of equipment out, but it's not always that easy. I feel bad for the guy who can't think outside the box and set himself up when things really do fall down around his ears.
