Fix my gun / Modding ghetto cheek riser

mounted a red dot on 1301, couldnt get a cheek weld on it without the dot disappearing.

grabbed some foam from a gun case, used double sided tape, then strapped it down with zip ties. seems pretty stable but havent used it with rounds yet.

cowitness achieved, what issues could arise from this. just put together a ghetto quick solution for turkey season.

If it works for you and your buddies aren't going to give you too much ribbing about it, go for it.

If you're taking it out hunting, I might worry about it a bit getting wet and not providing a comfortable cheek weld surface, but maybe you just cover it with duck tape? I dunno.

I think a lot of people get caught up in super-Gucci solutions that don't really add much to the experience. If you get your co-witness and your cheek weld and it doesn't bother you when you're aiming or shooting, more power to you.

that is exactly what i plan on doing with it, im not a gucci solution guy at all. rather spend that on ammo. i was thinking of using the duct tape but i dont want to get residue on the stock afterwards. we will see how it shoots soon, hopefully moisture doesnt make the foam too nasty
