http://bradleycheekrest.com/The-Bradley-A2-Adjustable-cheek-rest-For-the-A2-AR-stock-NEW-BA-000-TAC-BLK-A2.htm Looks like there is one for the A2. My basic visual estimation says that it "should" fit the ARFX stock. I'll have to wait for the funds to free up again. I'm gonna have to see if he can make the adjustable A2 version with the cordura OD green. That would look amazing on my 308!

Just thnking out loud.... If this will fit on an ACE ARFX stock.... I NEED ANOTHER ONE!!! IN OLIVE DRAB!!!

It was designed originally for the M14, so no reason why an A2 wouldn't work... This idea makes me wonder about making another build. I have an AR10 SPR that needs some love and attention.

First off, let me start.... I HATE CHEEK RISERS! It’s partially my fault. I have an enormous head (7-5/8” hats) and most non-adjustable risers put my eye beyond where I need to be. The second part is, I don’t like how “squishy” they normally are. I was raised on solid stocks, and I appreciate a solid cheek weld on my rifle. Most risers are foam filled and Im constantly trying to find that sweet spot. Some guys here know that my favorite rifle to shoot is my Ruger GSR... even though I feel like it’s over priced and was cut short on features by Ruger (if I had it to do over, I would’ve picked up a Moss MVP or Ruger American instead). I put a cheek pad on shortly after I got it, and have NEVER been comfortable with it. I was looking at the various kydex options online. Many of them required me to drill holes in my stock and used tension nuts on lag bolts. I wasn’t opposed to the idea... but I was excited about it either. It seemed like a rather expensive option for a very low tech modification. One I could easily replicate in a trip to Home Depot. The more I shopped, the more I also knew I didn’t want black. Real world experience helps too, and being in contact with SWAT guys helps extra. I saw a snipers M700 with an adjustable kydex riser that was strapped on. I didn’t get to fondle his, but I knew the direction I was going now and was more focused on where I was looking. That was about when I stumbled on to this site: http://www.bradleycheekrest.com/ This stuff looked like it had all the answers I’d been searching for; Kydex Cordura lined (Kryptek Highlander) Adjustable Velcro attachment I sent a quick email to the company, regarding the compatibility with the Ruger GSR stock. A few short hours later I got a response from Brad, the owner. He explained that the riser is shipped with several different adjustments straps, to fit all sizes of stocks. He was very confident that I’d have no fitment issues. Despite being 3x-4x the cost of all the competitors, I could not find any comparable products… Not at any price! I even went to YouTube and watched a handful of videos to get reviews from other users... what I don’t normally tell people about my Ruger scout, is that I bought it for about $200, maybe $250. This is honestly how I justify most of my modifications and additions to this rifle. I ordered the stock that night, and paid for It via PayPal. Bradley gives a LE/MIL discount and has free shipping. I had the package in my hands three days later… Effen fast!!! “ELITE SERIES CORDURA 500D BRADLEY ADJUSTABLE“ My first impressions… This thing is sexxxy AF, solid as a rock, and extremely well-built. The cordura texture on the outside not only looks sharp, it feels good too. It was packaged in a nifty little sack, and came with a little cable keychain. It came with a form cut, 1/4”, dense foam-rubber, pad. The black pad is to keep from direct contact to the stock. Otherwise the backs of the adjustment screws would be pressing into the stock. Installation was pretty self-explanatory. The apparatus clamshells over the stock, and the Velcro straps strap it down. I found that with the size of my hands (size large gloves) that the riser was most comfortable as far back on the stock is possible. Otherwise the front corner of the riser poked into the back of my thumb. There’s plenty of room for the bolt the cycle with full clearance. I use 1 spacer in the rear of my GSR stock. If I didn't have that extra bit of length, I don't know if I would've been able to push the rest far enough back. In my situation this ended up being a non-issue... YMMV. There are four adjustment screws, and each screw has four adjustment spaces. Looks like the rear strap is supposed to go around butt pad. I have some rifles with butt pads that look like they competed in an ugly contest with 98z5v, and won. I didn't want to try to suffer a thin piece of velcro through that kind of torture. I decided to put my velcro strap through the pad. I even melted a hole for the screw to go through. The pad sits snug enough. While fiddling with the adjustments, I actually found that a forward cant of the riser was really comfortable for me. It almost felt like a Monte Carlo stock. The kydex was super rigid, with zero flex, yet the cordura was a comfortable texture. My only complaint... kinda... the Velcro material was a little lacking in luster. It’s very thin, and feels frail. I’m far from any kind of Velcro expert. The hook and loop is strong and stable. I just worry how long the straps will last. This is my primary hunting rifle, and im not nice with my toys. If this turns into an issue, the Silverlining is that the straps are easy to replace. Whether I contact Brad for replacement straps, or I fabricate my own “upgraded” straps, will be decided if that time comes. I was tempted to change the Velcro to a matching Camo strap and add a quick release buckle.... but it seems like a lot of work for very little payout. Especially if the current system proves sufficient. Price: B (at $125, it would've been a C without the discount) Quality: A+, this is built rock solid with top tier parts... despite my feelings about the Velcro. Comfort: A, I feel the front corners could still be taken up a little, away from the shooting Hand. Although, when positioned properly, it wasn’t an issue. Maybe more of an issue on a youth length stock (or a GSR w/o any spacers installed). Usability: A+, if you can dress yourself in the morning, you can install/adjust this riser.

I’m very tempted to build something similar for a jeep rifle. Plain and simple as can be. I think I have enough Colt parts laying around to built a pencil A2 upper.

You can “trick” your rifle... when the mag is loaded, slap the mag forward and force the cartridges as far forward as possible. This will leave the seat behind the cartridge, rather than in front. It’s not great for long term storage and humping, but should work for range.

Soft points.... 308’s hate them. The OAL of a SP cartridge is about 1/8” shorter than a FMJ or polymer tipped cartridge. The jump from the magazine to the chamber is too long.

I'm pretty sure I bought one of my Sigs from him. I know I've shopped his GB stock many of times.

Yes… The actual “Lord of the flies” in the book was represented by the severed head of a pig, on a stick. After a few days the head is swarmed with flies.

Lol. I’ve bought from him.

That "Lord of the Flies" shit, at the end, was badass!

Featureless is a LOT less lame that it used to be. Magpul MOE Fixed Stock or ACE ARFX Magpul MIAD + Exile Machine Backfin BattleComp v1.5 or BABC I didn't go cheap, because I wanted to take FULL advantage of my situation. Also gave me an excuse to order a few new Norgon ambi mag release buttons.

Several years ago I got into the "AR" world. What started out as a "I wonder if I could" project, turned into a "This can be done better" goal. I don't think there is anything "wrong" per se. I'm a big fan of the Stoner rifle. I'm also a fan of the Kalashnikov and the numerous HK variants. While I never say that any of them are wrong... They were all designed over 50 years ago. There is no piece of machinery that has existed this long without a superior replacement being available... yet here we are. It's 2018 and the AR, AK and HK families still reign supreme over any other. Arms: CROM has set out to redesign several features that have been accepted as "good enough" for decades. The absolute maximum amount of quality has been squeezed out by means of engineering miracles. The fire control system makes no sense in a 21st Century firearm, but we continue to accept it. CROM has set out to redesign the entire system, removing conflicting and possible failing concepts and instituting an entire new (yet old) train of thought on the process. Why, since the dawn of time, has the bolt rifle been considered the superior candidate to a more accurate rifle? It boild down to the fire control and cyclic action of the modern rifle. Imagine if you could guarantee "bolt action like" accuracy out of every modern rifle you owned, without sacrificing the combat effectiveness you require. Ballistics: WHY ARE WE STILL SHOOTING EXPENSIVE METAL PROJECTILES??? Because that's what we're used to and that's what the industry tells us to shoot. Lead, copper, steel have all gone up in price since it was first discovered. The one thing that has continuously depreciated, as ease of use and simplicity of manufacturing has evolved, and that's polymer! Making a composite polymer combines the useful features of the materials we are all accustomed to, with the cost savings we desire. This won't "replace" conventional ammunition, as every type of shooting has it's focus... but WHAT IF???? What if you could purchase a highly accurate projectile, usable in all of your current hand loading machines, that was only a small fraction of the cost of your current chosen projectile? What if you could purchase a load that cycled with the expected guaranteed perfection of a FMJ, yet had the ballistic equivalence of an expanding projectile. Imagine that top of the line combat round, meeting all the military regulations of being a FMJ, non-expanding projectile, yet still performing with the deadly performance of your favorite hollow-point. We currently have several such projectiles, currently being tested all over the world, including the MENA Region... What does this mean for you? A professional American-made, battle proven, real world experience projectile, with no current market equivalent. Will it replace your current inventory, probably not... But I expect it to be in your regular shopping cart in some form of component or cartridge. Armor: Soft body armor is expensive and cumbersome to quickly deploy, and mostly ends at level IIIa. Hard plate armor has taken the world by storm, but we've really only been left with two options, heavy or bulky. On one hand we have AR500 type hard plates. They are thin and inexpensive, but at 12-15 pounds per plate, you have to look like a professional wrestler to wear a complete rig for any extended length of time. Sure, ceramic is a regularly accepted alternative... but you treat it like a newborn baby so that you don't crack your obnoxiously expensive ballistic plate, which would then make it useless. The alternative is the uber-expensive polyethylene... if you're ok with having a 1.5" plate sticking out of your chest like a life preserver from the Titanic. Sure it's lightweight, but at the price you're paying, and the enormous size your forced to work around, it's practically unusable. But WHAT IF... What if you had a hard plate armor, that was NIJ certified level III+ rated, was only 3/4" thick, and half the weight of steel plates? What if this plate, that's lighter than AR500, and thinner than polyethylene, undercut all the competitors on the market. What if a product was released not because we COULD make it better and cheaper, but because we WANTED to make American operators safer, and keep it at blue collar costs so that everyone could afford it. This is being done RIGHT now, and on a Trump sized "HUUUUGE" scale. I literally just finished blasting several prototype plates, comparing weight to size ratios. Nothing is more satisfying than flattening round after round of M885, M80/L2A2 and 7.62x39 steel core FMJ, into a single plate of lightweight/affordable armor. So what does Condition Red Ordnance Mfg do? We do everything! PS. OH, and thanks to Beachin Tactical, now we get to play with knives too! You guys are going to love that one too!!!

I ordered the FDE knob.... And this.... (No shame for being a Kryptek whore)

and it comes in FDE!!!

I think I’ll just take on the task. I want on of these too...

Lately I have been thinking about putting an oversized don’t handle knob on my Ruger GSR. My first thought was to use the clip on part made by KRG (98z Knows what I’m talking about). And after doing a minuscule amount of research, I found out the part only works on the M700… So it looks like I’m back to modifying my current old handle. Does anybody have any suggestions?

This is something I thought about too. Depending on where you place it, you should be able to get four different heights just by rotating the block.

For no reason at all.... Maybe Magpul will stick their nose in on this one too???

There are some companies that make a SS nitride barrel. Faxon is one of them. I don’t understand it all that well. It seems like installing tile over hardwood floors. Im sure it’s only a matter of time before someone chrome lines a nitrided SS barrel.

Trigger is just one of the many kinds of whores of which I identify.

Also.... Look at the “Better-Mag” by Redi-Mag. It allows you to use S&W M&P15-22 mags in a standard AR15 receiver. If I had it to do all over (and I might still do it) I would’ve gone with the S&W mags vs the Black Dog mags. Black Dog makes a good mag, but not having the bolt hold option is aggravating. I even installed the dedicated 22lr bolt catch, and it only works about 30% of the time. The ProMag (M&P15-22 compatible) version holds 32 rounds, is easier to load than the BD, and can be found for $15-$17. (Also, if all you can find are the 10rd mags, there a bunch of YouTube vids on how to unlock them to full capacity).
