Thought about having one made at the local leather working shop, but would really like a wooden screw on type like they had for the T models.

The garand had a scope mount that off set the scope to the left side of the action so that the spent cartridge wouldn't hit the scope when ejected. so the leather cheek peice doesn't help because it pushes the head to the left. I need someting that gives me support up higher on top of the stock.

Try numrich aka gunparts. Last I looked the cheek piece was about $40 or less. origionals go for about $70-80. Frank
