Quote History Thanks. I didn't know about these.
I ordered one and installed it.
A couple notes.
1) Over the last week or so, Thordsen Custom website has been a bit flaky.
Even right now, if I google "Thordsen Custom" I get a link, but it won't load.
However on my phone, if I select the "Cheek Rest" link, it comes up. WTF?
2) So there are 2 models.
I ordered the one with the Enhanced Pistol Cheek Rest, Extended Tube, with Mission First Tactical cheek rest, because it included a pistol tube, has a storage option (which I probably won't use) and it was more expensive.
There is also a CAA version.
This is a comparison video that shows the basic differences between the 2

3) I didn't get instructions, but I used the Googles and there are youtube installation videos from Alan Thordsen.
4) My MFT version was fully assembled, so I had to get the cheek rest off the tube. In retrospect, I might not have needed to do that.
5) The MFT version came with a custom buffer tube. Its flares out at the thread end so when you put the cheek rest on it squares up.
What this means, is you will have a damn good time when you need to torque it down.
My MAGPUL armorers wrench won't slip over that wider part.
Nor would my generic armorers wrench.
In the video, the wrench he used had an armorers wrench which dropped down from above (after 2:00)

No, the tube in that video isn't the one I received.
Overall I really like it, its perfect for NTC shooting, great support.
This should show you what I mean about the buffer tube near the threads
