Seems easy enough, wont the kydex plate slide down after a while?

[@stavrosliveris-oo2di]

How/with what do you heat the kydex? Thanks for sharing.

[@pedropons2040]

how did you drill the holes accurately? Does the kit arrive with a pattern to facilitate drilling the holes in the correct positions?

[@tacpro4410]

+Pedro Pons Drilling the holes does not require a pattern, measuring or marking. The TAC PRO kit includes a drill bushing that is used to align the drill bit in the slots after you form the cheek rest. The installation video is here: tacpro.com/product_info.php?cPath=14&products_id=20

you could heatmold it, and then fill the holes with a sharpie pen... then drill into the markings

I just cut my own from a rectangle of kydex that I ordered. I noticed that my stock tapers out toward the butt end, so I made the sides angle very slightly out. I guess it’s not enough to make a difference. This one looks good once it’s installed.

The cheek rest will not slide if it's formed according to the video and installed correctly. See the installation video for instructions. We now include a drill bushing with each cheek rest kit to make installation much easier.

what gauge kydex is that your using???

[@rdwhite65]

Will it work on a Savage 110 HS stock that is 1 3\4 inch thick ? Or will the slots in the kydex be to high up on the stock ?

[@tacpro4410]

+RDW 65 It will work well, but a better option is our precision formed cheek rest made for the HS Precision stock. Model CR-700HS. tacpro.com/product_info.php?cPath=14&products_id=21

[@stavrosliveris-oo2di]

Where can i get one of those please?

[@mikerupp7581]

Cheek res black?

[@jench78]

how much more complicated is this for monte carlo stocks?

[@tacpro4410]

jench78 We don't recommend this product for stocks that have a Monte Carlo cheek rest.

[@SchecterMongoose]

Can the heat from the Kydex being pressed onto a wood stock do any damage? Burning, cracked finish, lifting the stain, ect?

[@tacpro4410]

+Mongoose Motovlog We have not heard of any problems with forming the Kydex ona wood stock.

[@cazaconaire8464]

No, not hot enough

how to make or how to install???

[@skycrafts5140]

I think both apply here. The original plate isn't a cheek piece because of the shape. He had to 'make' the flat plate into a cheek piece, using heat and moulding it. He then showed how to use the bolts and nuts to 'install' and adjust the cheek piece he had 'made'. He showed us a technique that others could use to make a bespoke cheek piece for their individual rifles....and how to install them.
