The term \u201cbubbagunsmithing\u201d can carry a lot of negative connotations that often elicit images of destroyed firearms by people that shouldn\u2019t be allowed to have hand tools.  However, I\u2019d like to elevate the idea of bubbagunsmithing to a person\u2019s skillful use of what they have available in order to improve a firearm\u2019s capabilities.  In light of this lofty goal, I decided to try my hand at adding a cheek riser to the factory stock of my Remington 783 Varmint.   Traditional solutions may have had me resort to duct taping shop rags to the stock, but I wanted an honest-to-goodness cheek rest that looks like it belongs.  I could\u2019ve just ordered something off the internet but most of the stuff I used came from the hardware store down the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools and Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bubbagunsmithing
The nylon spacers, 1\/4-20 flat head bolts, and washers are easily found at the hardware store.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The material list is pretty simple as it turns out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. 2″ schedule 40 PVC pipe, 2 ft. long<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Two \u00bc-20 threaded inserts with a flange<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Two \u00bc-20 X 2\u201d flat head bolts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Two-pack nylon spacers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Rubber washers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. 5-minute epoxy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The above items will net a functional cheek rest, but I wanted some comfort too, so I bought a $1 sheet of self-adhesive foam from the hobby store.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The tool list is also just as simple: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. A hack saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Drill and drill bits<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Sanding block and sandpaper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Heat gun  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Cord, tubing, zip ties, or bungees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The First Cuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first step in this project was to cut off a 5\u201d long section of pipe and cut that piece in half lengthwise.  The cuts came out a little uneven but that turned out to be fine, enough material was going to get removed from the sides that it would even up.  I marked a centerline down one of the halves and drilled the holes for the bolts that would go down into the stock.  The distance between the holes is arbitrary, I positioned them about 3\u201d apart center to center.  I marked a similar centerline down the comb of the stock and overlaid the PVC half on top of that, positioning it in the right place for a good cheek weld.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Bubbagunsmithing
    The three “phases” of the cheekpiece as it was being made.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Next, I took the heat gun and heated the PVC to become flexible enough for me to form it to the shape of the stock.  I recommend some gloves for this step, that PVC gets quite hot in the process.   I secured the piece to the stock with zip ties so that it would hold its shape as it cooled.  Electrical tape, surgical tubing, or cordage would probably work just as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Bubbagunsmithing
    The cheek riser conforms to the shape of the stock very well and the thickness of the material should lend to it being durable over time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Anchorage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After the cheek piece had been formed to the stock I set it aside and went to work on the stock itself, locating and drilling the holes for the threaded inserts.    There was no particular reason I went with a \u00bc-20 thread pitch other than it’s commonly available and should provide enough support.  The threaded inserts were the flanged screw in type that I glued in with a quick drying clear epoxy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Bubbagunsmithing
    No fancy adhesives are needed, 5-minute epoxy will do the job just fine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I used nylon spacers to raise the cheek piece to the proper height and the flange of the inserts gave it solid bearing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Bubbagunsmithing
    The threaded inserts were filed and blended into the contour of the stock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Finishing The Cheekpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I made some rough cuts with the hacksaw to give the cheek piece its final form and then used sandpaper to even them out to look more symmetrical.  It\u2019s really important to wear a good dust mask and eye protection to ward off the PVC dust, you definitely don\u2019t want to breathe that stuff in or get it in your eyes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Bubbagunsmithing
    It almost looks like it belongs on the rifle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    A black sharpie on the edges of the cheek piece masked the white edges and helped it blend in with the stock once installed.  The spacers that I used were \u00bd\u201d long and small rubber washers from the plumbing department helped me fine-tune the height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When I took the rifle back to the range to zero, the height of the cheek riser was just right so that I had a nice full field of view when I got in position.  The foam covering on the cheek piece was a great touch and settling into the gun was very comfortable with no chance of my face slipping around.  I can remove the bolt with the cheek piece installed as it is, however, cleaning will require me to remove it so that there\u2019s enough room for the cleaning rod.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s pretty cool what a person can MacGyver into existence with a little ingenuity and a good local hardware store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
