| Do you know of anyone who does these for the AR in the UK. I know Bob does but he is asking nearly 100 quid. Would it be cheaper to get 1 from the USA and is any gunsmithing required to fit them? |

What you're looking for is the Accuracy Speaks adjustable butt plate. To be honest, Bob's prices are pretty good. Yes you can get one from the States (if they're willing to export these days) but it will only be cheaper if you "get away" with the duty. Your call Mark |
I certainly don't mind paying Bobs price so long a i know i'm not paying over the odds, Thanks anyway Mark. By the way do you have any other Methuen cup photos past or present as i found them quite fascinating and would have certainly gone had i not been in Holland.

Try one if you like, drop Matt a line, I'm sure he can get one for you. The other option is to get a length of Picatinny rail, a hacksaw, file, milling machine, drills and taps and screws, then saw saw, mill mill file file, drill drill, tap tap and screw screw etc etc.  Mark |
You be wanting one of them Blackhawk Tactical Cheek Pads… trés populaire with the USMC www.rstacticalgear.com/pd_blackhawk_tactical_cheek.cfm You should be able to order one from any Blackhawk stockist. |
Mark this is "useless" without pics....  Taffy |
Dunno if that would fit an adjustable stock...  And not sure if there is a Blackhawk thingy in nearby Cardiff...  Taffster |
Pfft, 'adjustable' stocks…  As you're being all 'tactical' they are made by Cherokee and Fat Bob probably has them. http://www.uws.com/CHEROKEE/HomePage.html Andy |

Andy I don't do "tactical" I do "CHEAP" Taffy  ETA that is the one I'd like....how do I do the "FAT BOB THANG" Email...phone # what?....DO I say "IS THAT FAT BOB" I want one of these....? does he haggle?....or do I have to be pepared for the " deep intake of breath" and ohhhh that'll cost ya...

The cheap (DPMS/Cherokee or Masen) both are around £30 mark. If you've got the RRA stock they don't fit very well at all without some adjustments, but if you have a copy of the Colt/CAR style then you're OK. (Can't remember what you have, but I think it's the Colt copy). |
