I was just about to buy a beech cheek piece from D S Solutions and they have disappeared from their site! I will e.mail them about it but anyone got any ideas as to an alternative supplier or have an old one lying around that I can buy / borrow to copy? Alternatively, anyone know of one that can be temporarily fixed using Velcro or some suck material?

I can still manage with peep sights. The only open sights I can use are those on a 91/30 or my Finnish M39. You can flat forget about that inverted "V" on a Mauser. I am stuck with iron for competition though my next hunting rifle will be scoped.

Mines off my bitser at the moment so I can send measurements and photos if no better offer turns up Duncan.

Duncan you can buy a padded sock sort of thing that slides over the but.

They can be picked up on e bay.

Or you can buy padded cheek piece I have one on my steyr.

Saves drilling and tapping rhe rifle butt.

Or you could use a old sock and stuff it to the right height after you have washed it of course.

Have a look at this site.

Eoin these mounts fit in front of the reciever and need a long eye relief scope mount a la scout rifle style.

The only No 1 no gunsmithing receiver scope mounts I've seen are here:

No reply from D-S Solutions G. Any change of some pics and dims then? I was thinking of finding an old stock at the next arms fair and using that as a base for the cheek piece. :roll:

Will do Duncan, just not sure when. Working for the next four days plus throw in Xmas & the daughters birthday on Boxing day. Maybe next week. I don't imagine you will be wanting to work on it over the next few days anyway.
