Hey guys, here’s another small project I’ve been wanting to do for the past year, making a cheek rest for my Veteran. Never liked the cold metal on cheek, especially in winter. I got this idea from another member here PHeplerNC, and also Doug from Maddogrifle stocks, I borrowed his magnet design he uses in his Marauder bullpup cheek rest, thanks for the inspiration guys! I bought the product Instamorph moldable plastic about a year ago and finally had time to try it out. First one I tried to make looked like a real turd so I tried again and this is how it turned out, still looks like a turd but it works. ![Grinning face with big eyes :smiley: 😃](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f603.png)
Basically heat the beads up and shape them, I kept reheating over and over trying to get it right shape and size, actually cutting off a piece at one point to keep it the right size. Got it to a rectangular piece then pressed and shaped over the action where it would sit. Got to be careful not to overheat, it’s a process of trial and error. I glued two small powerful magnets in to keep it in place and make it extremely easy to remove. I might try to make another one that’s a bit more sleeker as this does raise the cheek weld little. Not too bad though, I just have to research if I can sand this smooth or not. Thanks for looking.
