[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 419057, member: 3533"] My kydex was 3/16" 12" x 12" I bought for $15 off ebay. There is a do it yourself thread online that is perfect. I just took my time and had one piece left-over. I made a template out of manila file folder first on the rifle, unfolded it and traced the outline onto the kydex and cut it out. I heated the spine of the part with a heat gun and folded it over my "mold" a piece of 2x12 board... His looks thicker--probably the better option. Mine has a more flat top profile--which lets me define cheek weld exactly where I want on my cheekbone--I register with my the corner between my upper gum and the lower corner/edge of my cheekbone. Sight picture and if I lift my head I get my sight picture back exactly the same every time. It's pretty easy if you go slow and are careful...still Karsten's are probably easier to buy and install in the long run. I just like doing a lot of stuff myself and I'm cheap. Matt [/QUOTE]
