Comments about Springfield Armory Rifle Cheek Rest M1 Garand, M1A U.S.G.I. Leather:

I gave 5 stars, not so much because this is a 5-star product, but to offset the unfair scores from others. Unfortunately, there are some bad reviews with bad advice from uninformed individuals. Yes, this is a M1 Garand cheek piece. Yes, it will fit your M14 or M1A perfectly. No, it is not a scope riser for the M1. It is GI and intended for use with the standard iron sights on the M1 and M14. For the love of God, please *DO NOT SOAK IN WATER*. Doing so will ruin the finish on your walnut stock and will make it nearly impossible to remove without damaging it. (1) Wet your hands with some olive oil, roll it, smush it, work it for 15-to-20 minutes until it is nice and soft. Do the same with the lace, and stretch the lace as long as you can. (2) Line it up with the seam of the pad along the comb of the stock with the straight edge toward the butt. Wrap it around and push butt-ward until it is flush with the sling attachment. (3) Lace it up much as you would a pair of boots. Tie it off with a square knot. Do not cut the excess until you are perfectly satisfied with the position. (4) Notice that there are two eyelets on the bottom that are not laced. Line these up along the centerline of the bottom the stock. Buy two nice quality brass pan-head wood screws at your local hardware store that will cover these holes but are short enough not to interfere with the interior compartments in the stock. (5) Once you are satisfied with the position of the cheek-piece, drill pilot holes through the two unused eyelets into the stock and secure it with the screws. (6) Clean it with mink oil. If you do not like the smell of mink oil, synthetic boot conditioner will work too. I love mine. It give my M1A a classic look and is actually very comfortable.

Comments about Springfield Armory Rifle Cheek Rest M1 Garand, M1A U.S.G.I. Leather:

This was a great addition to my rifle. Requires a basic knowledge of leather working. I soaked mine in hot tap water for 5 minutes. Then ran the lacing (also soaked) with all of the knots on the interior wrap. The leather shrank after drying and is now extremely tight. With the lacing so tight after shrinking, and the with knots on the interior of the lacing holes, I will have to probably cut the lacing to remove the pad.

Somewhat difficult to ...

By Scott

from Lake Tahoe, NV

Comments about Springfield Armory Rifle Cheek Rest M1 Garand, M1A U.S.G.I. Leather:

Somewhat difficult to install properly since no instructions are provided. It is hard to get tight and gets in the way of rear sling swivel. Once installed, worked OK, but not enough padding on top to really raise your head enough to make it fully practical. It looks pretty cool, and possibly a little help with cheek weld, but only minimal. It could be made much better like originals with a bit better design and lacing characteristics. It also interferes a bit with sling.Overall, a decent product that I would probably buy again (color is way off too..needs to be much darker)... I don't know how long Ill keep it on my M1..it slides around a bit cause you just can't get it tight enough with the lacing design.

Comments about Springfield Armory Rifle Cheek Rest M1 Garand, M1A U.S.G.I. Leather:

The leather is stiff and hard to work with. There is very little padding so there is minimal height improvement.

By george

from terre haute, in

Comments about Springfield Armory Rifle Cheek Rest M1 Garand, M1A U.S.G.I. Leather:

This cheek piece is for the garand, its intended purpose is to offset the shooter's head slightly to line up with the garand's offset scope. It will not work correctly for an M1a, nor will it raise the shooter's face upward. It works the same as the original military pad. I rate it good for it's intended purpose.
