[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 2877742, member: 59915"] I make all my cheek risers from 4” thin walled PVC drain pipe. I cut off a section how ever long I want, 4”, 6”, or however long I want the riser and then I split it down one side and lay it in the toaster oven at 200 degrees. When it softens enough (usually 3-5 minutes) I’ll lay it out in a flat sheet in the oven and give it a few minutes to get fully pliable and then lay it over the gunstock and form it exactly how I want with a damp rag. If I need to I’ll use a heat gun to spot shape specific spots. Then I’ll shape it and trim it with a saw or angle grinder and if I need to clean up the edges. I usually make them all adjustable but in this one I thought “you know you never adjust these. You set it and it stays there forever” so this one I just used some hot glue and positioned it exactly where I wanted it and painted over it. Here’s an adjustable one that I made on a different rifle. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1230.jpeg"]484294[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
