Snap shoot slap!

My Mini-30, with a Butler Creek S/S folding stock, slaps me in the face when I snap shoot offhand. Does anybody sell a cheek rest or comb piece that would give my face a soft/smooth place to land?

When shooting from the bench, I usually wrap a towel around the bars, works fine, but the stock won't fold all the way with it in place. Any good ideas? Thanks, Paul.

Does your stock have a threaded hole right where the wires from the heel and toe of the stock merge? There was a bolt-on cheekpiece sold for those stocks at one time, IIRC.

Failing that, I'd probably use a piece of neoprene wrapped with some handlebar tape, paying attention to build it up just high enough that you get a good cheek weld.

Nope, no holes at all in the bars. Got any idea who made that cheek piece? Thanks, paul
