So I bought a cheek piece for my RRA and I like the way it feels when shooting it. But there is one problem I can not colapse my stock when it is attached. Does anyone else have this problem? Cheek Pieces |
If I remember correctly the cheek piece actually presses on the stock body deforming the inside hole to an oval. It was designed like that to take out the slack of the body on the tube. It probably is this friction that is stopping the stock from moving once the leaver is depressed. |

I had the same problem. I had to sand down the inside of the cheekpiece. This took some of the pressure off of the buttstock so that is can slide along the tube better/easier. I bought a dowel rod (1"?, 2" thick???) and had the self stick sandpaper. Stick the sand paper to the dowel rod so that it goes 3/4' around one end, and start taking off some of the plastic. The "nubs" on the inside of the cheekpeice were the 1st parts to go. It's trial and error. scottMO |
| I have one on my 16" Bushmaster flat top with an Aimpoint ML2 on a LaRue mount. When I first installed the peice the tube was very tight and would not extend or retract, this sucks! So I get the directions back out and this time read them and put the peice in hot, boiling hot, water and reinstalled. Now it works just fine it even removed the rattle the stock had before. Other people who have shot my rifle have had difficulty properly lining up the sight but it works fine for me. |
