    M4 Cheek Weld Options?

    Are the M4 collapsable stocks in general "LOW" in comb height to accomodate more faces (or just avoid the charging handle) ?

    It just seems with all the many collapsable stock options out there that someone would have come up with a stock that had interchangable cheek pieces like all the new polymer pistols grip straps (that of course did NOT interfere with the charging handle) .

    I could shoot much faster and faster/accurately if my comb height was correct (correct for me) and thus a more consistent cheek weld.

    its been effed with.. nothing really works, which is why the few examples are basically failures. the SOPMOD and the UBR are as revolutionary as you're gonna get, but they don't bring you up any.

    There were those cheek pieces on the older Colt match rifles, but I don't think something like that would work fully collapsed

    Lower sights maybe?

    Magpul makes a cheek riser for their ctr and moe stocks.

    Or you could go with a prs and adjust comb height and lop.

    Duct tape something on there?

    Have you tried starting the stock a bit lower on your face and using the stock to 'chipmunk' your cheek a bit to provide a bit more height? I am by no means skinny, but I must have a shorter head or something, I was surprised that collapsible stocks sat my eye-level as low as they did.

    Anyone ever use auto body putty to build up a carbine stock.

    Don't laugh, but CAA makes a set of two different cheek pieces that fit M4 stocks.

    I haven't tried them, but I have a CAA stock saddle which is great — again, don't laugh, but it's on par with MagPul quality.

    The charging handle's travel must be accomodated by the stock. Duct taping/gluing/bondoing the stock is pretty much guaranteed to result in failure. I recommend training to be accustomed to the height of the sights and the cheek-weld needed for success. I have trained a few thousand people in my career, and I have yet to have anyone that is unable to achieve consistent cheek-weld with the eye in line with the sights with even limited training time.

    do you shoot nose-to-the-charging-handle? this is the first and best way to achieve consistent cheekweld.

    I understand the problem of the charging handle interfering with the stock when the stock is closed, but I'm long limbed and can only shoot with the stock fully extended, anyway.

    When I've got a scope mounted on top of the carry handle, then I need some kind of cheek riser...
