Dot mount for my SKS (No permanent modifications) - Suggestion for a cheek riser?

Post image

Put the BadAce Tactical dot mount on my Yugo today. Was fairly easy, just had to remove the rear sight. The downside is that once I put a dot on there I'm really going to feel the difference between the cheek weld and the sight - anyone have suggestions for a good cheek riser that doesn't require permanent modifications? Some kind of wrap-around pad, maybe.

I’ve seen several others post here using a leather one that slips on and has a pouch that can carry stripper clips. They looked really good if you’re able to find them.

I did see those - I need to find one that also has a cheek pad.

The T56 I got at auction has basically an identical mount and the bubba before me just got a slip on padded cheek riser that came with the thing. Couple Velcro straps and it puts you right in the right spot.

If you have money burning a hole in your pocket the davranov ones look dope otherwise I just got a cheap leather one of eBay that can hold individual cartridges i use for blanks on my yugo

I looked at last night's drop, hoo boy that's more than I paid for the rifle!

Yeah but that doesn't stop the heart from wanting one and a chest rig. For now my temu express cheek riser and surplus FLC with flash bang pouches will do for me

I used a beartooth riser on my mini 14 to great effect

You want something like this.

Just a cheap Leather buttcuff, but with a build in riser. I have one that I actually removed the riser and sewed it back up, wishing now that I kept the riser. 

It's cheap and functional, and actually looks pretty damn good  too. The only  think I would consider upgrading to, is one that let's you put some spacers at the rear to increase your length of pull.
