There's a "stick-on" pad, made of closed-cell foam, available from Brownells. I forget who makes it, but just do a search for cheekpads, and it should come up. Also, there's a neoprene foam cheekpiece that uses different thicknesses of inserts to build it up to the desired height, also available from brownells.

I use a few rectangles of cloth covered with duct tape too reach the desired height. Then cover that with black grip tape so it is grippy and does not look bad. The tape go's around the stock so it stays in place. Never done it on an AR though. It may be cheep but it does work.

Do you need the swan sleeve with the Armalite mount?

A BlackHawk cheek pad would work good, I have one on my LTR.

The Blackhawk cheek pad is nice and its somewhat height adjustable by adding or removing the foam inserts.
But, I agree with Frank, do you need the swan sleeve? |

I like a BUIS on every rifle I own. The Leupold I have won't clear the ARMS40 without a Swan Sleeve.
It's a personal thing I guess. I'll look into Brownells. Thanks for the replies! H |

You might want consider replacing the #38 with a Knight's 300m and mounting the Armalite right to the receiver. You could trade or sell the #38 to even it out. You might run into problems with the charging handle hitting the padding placed onto the stock.

I'll have to look into the Knight's 300m...to be honest I'm not sure exactly what that is...fortunately, I've got a couple beers with me right now and an hour to kill. [beer] |

The Knight's is a low profile flip up, it will allow you to use the Armalite mount and the scope will clear it. Medium ARMS #22 rings would also. Not sure, but I think MSTN or Sableco carries them?

huh...interesting solutions to an issue I haven't put much thought into...figured since I had an ARMS38 sitting around I'd use it. Using a different BUIS and lowering the mount would be a great option.
Thanks again! |

Okay,
I've got it narrowed down to the GGG Mad sight or the Knights... The GGG sight has another aperature, and by the looks of it, sits 0.5" above the flattop when folded down. That'll clear my scope bell. Sweet! |

Look at some of the stick-on moleskin products, come in various thicknesses and can be cut to shape. IIRC the adhesive is not that bad to remove. they conform well and aren't gonna be too rough on yer cheeks.
