    Is 3.76 plus shipping cheap enough. I may have an extra sheet but shipping would eat us up.

    I made one for my Mark II from some 3" PVC. I slit the pipe and flattened it in the oven, then cut out the pattern I wanted, reheated and molded it to the shape of the stock.

    He even works on his rifle in the kitchen. On the table, too.

    I started with a cheek rest and have now rebuilt the entire rifle!

    I just put a SSS fluted bolt body to finish it. The only thing I haven't changed is the action itself!

    Yeah but, did you do it on the kitchen table? That proves the Axis owners mettle....

    I rebuilt my chainsaw on the kitchen table. There's a hole in the sheet rock about the same diameter as my head. The 'lil woman was not too happy about it.


    (PS - The hole wasn't from the chainsaw.)

    Looks good, kid.

    Again, with the kitchen table, eh?

    You really ought to consider a bench. The bench is sacred to men that make their own projects especially guns & reloading. If you work on guns in the kitchen - AT the table, this automatically gives the wife permission to fold laundry on your bench. Maybe even set up a sewing machine on your bench.

    If word gets out your man card may be suspended.

    What stock is that? Did you install that cheek rest?

    This is my first one. I have modified it slightly since. I still use the neoprene cover, it feels good on the face, but the insides have changed a little. The original is piece of pipe that is split and shaped with a torch to the shape of a U. Inside the U I put high density foam for the lift. I taped the piece down and pulled the neoprene over it. To clean the rifle I just pull the neoprene forward and remove the rest, clean, retape. I use electrical tape and it holds nicely.

    New design is a 1" wood dowel cut and shaped, then pinned. The pins go into the top of the stock which has holes drilled. No taping. Neoprene is still used. It is really comfy on the cheek.
