For no apparent reason today, the thought of making a cheek riser for the Takedown came to mind. I'm not sure of the why for to the timing, as my other two 10/22s could've benefited from one years before the Takedown even existed, and God knows I have a long list of way more important things to complete.
Sure, the stock is a bit too short, and light, but it was made for transporting in its smallish pack, so I'll try not to knock on it too much. I'm not planning on replacing the stock, but was thinking of adding a little weight to the rear, and perhaps a cheek riser. Unfortunately, the buttplate appears to be plastic-welded in place, so I'll start the planning with a cheek riser.
Due to it's looks, a DIY foam and duct tape riser wouldn't be completely out of place, but the foam eventually shrinks and the tape shreds to pieces and leaves glue residue on the stock. I have at least one or two quality removable stock pack risers, but aesthetically prefer something a little more permanent.
For that reason, I was thinking of maybe fabricating a cheek riser from a sheet of Kydex, or something. Has anyone tried this? If so, what thickness Kydex did you use, and how did you cut and bend it?
Anyhow, I hope everyone is staying safe!
Cheers
