Rifle Cheek Piece Covers/Ammo Holders

[rapidboy]

I have been using one of these on my CZ452 for ages and the guys at my clubs have been asking me to source a few of them.
I'm reluctantly organising a group buy but I know there are a few shooters on here so I'm offering them up here and posting the same offer on BCUK.
I'm not sure how many i need to buy or how many i will be able to buy but a friend is checking and going to let me know at the weekend.
They should be around £15 delivered to UK.
Post on the thread if your interested and i will post details as and when i know anything.
If i can only get a limited number i will offer in order of interest shown

Padded cheek piece on one side, pouch on other side, Velcro inside pouch and outside pouch to attach bullet / cartridge loops if required.
I modded the loops on mine to hold mags and a single shot adaptor.
Pouch holds spare ammo, chamber flag, pencil, photon light and SAK
The padding raises your cheek a little but i added some additional padding below it to get a perfect eye alignment.

Chalk me up for one Rapid - just what I need for my .17HMR as it only comes with poxy 4 shot mags and I need a quick reload when lamping instead of fishing through my pockets for the illusive little bugg*rs :rolleyes:

[huntersforge]

I have one of these on my .243 remington custom and they are the business .
Got mine delivered fron the states and cost me a whopping £40 :o

Aye , i think riflecraft are charging something like £70 for them :rolleyes:
I bought one simply as a cheek piece riser and didn't think the pocket would be used but it's really handy.

[bushman762]

Can you put me down for one please.

Is there any chance that you will be getting the bi-pods in again? and could it be made to fit a Lee Enfield?

Thanks

:)

I have fitted one to my No. 4 by fitting a QD stud without difficulty. I can put some photos up if you like?

Please do, perhaps a good quality BP will turn up at the right money, and I'll at least know how to fit it.

Best Regards,

:)

[dean4442]

can you stick me down for one please it'll go nicely with the bipod I got from you. :)

Colin

[rapidboy]

No problem lads, all added to the list.
Don't know about the bipods, been asked a few times but need to be a lot of interest to do it and won't be for a while because i don't have the time for more than one at a time.

Just want to say thanks for the speed and the good communication from the members involved, makes a group buy so much easier when everyone is on the ball.
Cheers

[British Red]

Thanks for sorting it out for us RB - much apreciated!

Red

[bushman762]

Received both my cheek piece and Bi Pod, thanks RB.

Now for a gentle reminder...if and when you have time 'British Red' I would like to see your pics as to how I'll fit the Bi Pod to a No 4 .

Cheers,

:)

[British Red]

Ooops - will do mate - off to the quacks tmorrow but send me a pm Friday and I'll sort it

Red

[rapidboy]

Thanks for letting me know they arrived safely.

[rapidboy]

I'll take one too please

Sent you a PM jamesoconnor, and haven't received a reply or payment ???

[rapidboy]

I'll take one too please


James i have sent you 2 PM's and posted on here and you have not replied.
Group buys work on trust and the least you can do is communicate with the organiser.

The cheek piece you ordered has been sold but do not ask to be part of future group buys if you will not play fair.

:(

[rapidboy]

Thanks for getting in touch James, no harm done.

Hi,

First off my aplogies - this took longer than I intended - my quack visit turned into surgery :(

Anyway - heres my No.4 set up

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1073/631537731_e21ab929ed.jpg

Hardly a stock No. 4 but actually, other than the sporter stock and two wood screws, everything can be returned to normal. I use an Armalon "no gun smith" scope mount. This drops into the charger guide and attaches using the same screw that holds on the flip up rear sight. Using this system, I can use original sights for service rifle, Parker Hale apertures by changing the rear sight and foresight element or scope and bipod for practical rifle.

Anyway - here is a close up of the bipod attached

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1206/631537767_423e64e36e.jpg

Here it is removed. The small "stud" is a QD (quick detach) stud. A wood screw with an odd end. All you do to fit it is start a small hole in the woodwork and screw it in. Be sure to get a short one as it must not bear on the barrel. Normally I use these for attaching slings to my rifle, but the L/E has the fixed sling point, so I attached my Garand sling to these and the QD stud is kept just for the 'pod.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1043/631537783_957d07f539.jpg

If you look closely at the stud, you can see it has a hole through it and flat sides. The Harris type bipod has jaws that grip the sides of the stud. A raised flange goes into the hole at each side and holds the jaw tight.

Its worth noting that the sprung legs of the Harris also mean it can be folded up neatly under the barrel when not in use - a useful feature when carrying or shooting 3 position.

I hope that helps. If you need any more info or have questions, just say

Oh yeah - sorry about the blistering on the forend :o . 150 rounds a detail PR shoot. I fired three successive details. 450 rounds of .303 makes your barrel just a little warm - as the forend finish shows :D

Red:eek: Blimey I hope you took advatage and threw a few rashers and a couple of eggs on the barrel :D

[British Red]

Did the same course of fire once with a No. 5 (Jungle carbine). Showed clear at the end, took the bolt out and picked it up by the (unguarded) barrel.

"Oh gosh drat deary me" said I :(

I bet you did :lmao:

jungle carbine must have left you a bit tender after 450 rounds

[British Red]

Loved every minute of it.

The next day the bruise started at the top of my shoulder and the yellow rainbow finished halfway down my ribs :o.

Great fun though with a bandolier of strippers, using the battle sights to clear the close falling targets and then flip up the aperture for ranged shots

I know most people hate the old Jungle carbine but I have a really soft spot for it. Its very "pointable", much lighter than a No. 4 and just a sweetie.

It is a shoulder muncher though, no question - a complete brute shot prone when you don't "sway" with the recoil!

Red

[bushman762]

Glad you are out and about again. I appreciate you taking the time to explain and show the fitting of the Bi Pod.

Now to track down a QD stud, would you recommend using glue on the stud, just I would hate for something like that to start getting loose.

Best Regards,

:)

[British Red]

Mine hasn't although if you had a problem a dab of Loctite would fix it. Any gunshop should have some QD studs in Just be sure and ask for a short one. If you haven't got a decent store local give SYSS a call and Roger or Sheila will sort you out.

Red

[rapidboy]

You can use a machine screw QD stud with a nut if there isn't much timber up front.

RB is this a DIY stud or can it be purchased, its just that I know the timber will be thin as I removed some to make sure it had no contact with the barrel.

Cheers,

:)

[rapidboy]

Uncle Mikes make them so should be available from a good gun shop.

http://www.uncle-mikes.com/products/boltaction_machinescrews.html

I use them when im afraid of splitting the stock with a wood screw.
I have had one on my rapid7 Tyrolean stock for about 10 years and it's fine but i think a wood screw would have split it easily because it's so thin at that point.

[bushman762]

Cheers RB that looks like it would do the job...have tried a couple of places without any joy, so may have to buy direct from USA or perhaps get one made.

Thanks again

:)

[rapidboy]

I think i got my last ones fron the US, if you don't get sorted out let me know and i will add some to my next order.
I will be needing some more relodding stuff soon anyway.

[bushman762]

Just got the Bi-Pod fitted this morning...

[rapidboy]

Nice job ,where do you shoot it ?

[British Red]

Interesting scope mount too - what type is it ?

Red

[bushman762]

RB at various ranges, but mostly in Tyrone, have had a few invites to head down your way, but I don't get her out that often, now I have the Bi-Pod I hope to get a little reloading done and fine tune the load I work with. Its not a fine precision instrument (Lee Enfield) but it has been known to shoot well.

BR I purchased the scope mount of the web, I've had it that long now, can't remember the details. It allows for quick attachment or un-attachment with accurate fittings and holding zero, there's just two thumb screws holding it in place, plus it allows you to use the open field site under the scope if you wish.

Cheers

:)

[bushman762]

BR found this link on the scopemount, When I purchased it the guy was still selling them himself, and if I remember correctly they were made in Germany! and shipped to the US.

I shoot my 96 at BK, well worth a visit if you get the chance

Interesting - I think I'll stick to my Armalon mount though - only uses the back sight screw to fix

Few guys I know head over there too, I haven't been, but it sure looks the part. I like time to do my own thing!

Cheers

Get the right day and it's great, bad day and forget it.
