Anyone else getting burn on your cheek from that freaking hole in the cheek rest? What to do, what to do?

And I have one laying around too, whats wrong with me! Thanks man.
On the TRG? I have been shooting mine for 5 years and have had no issues at all. But a stock pack would do the trick...
Thats slick! Toooo manyy choices....head hurt... Ok, gonna order that too, see what works best.
If it doesnt hurt, your doin it wrong...
That is what she said...
I expect no less from the captain.
That's a really good one.
Better yet, how about grafting some really tough bacon to my face so it acts as leather padding? However the smell of bacon may attract some unwanted attention from males from the midwest...
mmmmm bacon...
Not true, duct tape always falls off my rifle stock if we are in a hot shower for a too long .

Which of the stock choices did you select for something that will work with the TRG?
Or spend a the same at Triad and get a pack with storage, ammo loops, etc.

Is that the midget chick from Total Recall? I met her once when I lived in LA. I re enacted that scene for her and she did not find it amusing...
Gotta love a midget on full auto.

You hopped up on a bar waving a broom around like a machine gun?
Yeah, I bet Thumbelina (character name in the movie) wanted to kick you in the nuts like she did to that guy in the flik...

Well not exactly. I just pointed in the air and acted like I was shooting stuff. Yeah, she looked embarrassed. I don't think anyone around us understood the reference. OK, I'm a jackass.
They don't like the term "midget", that's why I call them halflings...
haha, thats fucked up man.
After a crowd of people gave me the look of death at an NFL they corrected me and said" Hey I have a little person friend" contrary to the local strip club calling it midget bowling on their sign once a month.
Yeah, and they're not short, they are "altitudinally challenged" (if it's not a word, it should be).
But then again, I'm not very PC

Mini Stock Pad [WBMSP] - $39.99 : WieBad.com, Making Tactical, Practical[/QUOTE]
These are very nice! Been running one for two years. I highly recommend it!

I covered my cheekpiece with a thin piece of very fine leather. Obviously I still need the hole in the cheekpiece to access the bolt with an allen wrench. However, I have never had an issue with the hole abrading my cheek. As the hole is still there, it must be the different way the OP and I mount the rifle to our cheek.
My M1 Super 90 Benelli always used to leave me feeling as if I had taken a number of solid uppercuts to the underside of my cheekbone. Regardless of how I held the Benelli, or the loads used, I suffered the day after I shot it. I was fine while shooting the gun, but I really paid for it the next day. It is just the way different stocks fit different faces.
I would recommend a thin piece of sleeping pad mounted using Barge brand contact cement (don't get the "new & improved stuff as it doesn't stick as well) and cover it with a thin piece of leather. Barge cement will get both sleeping pad and leather to stick.

Would be an options but the cheek rest as to be removed for access to the breach for cleaning.
I wouldn't recommend permanently fixing the plug in place, snug but removable. A vid or pic might illustrate. However, I think the leather cover idea is perhaps a bit easier and practical for most folks - even one of those camouflage band-aides that I use when my son cuts his finger might be even easier and cheaper.
Actually the bandaid thing is not a bad idea at all. That said I really like the looks of the KRG rig.
I am going to upload a pic of my cheek pad - it is a bit different the way it is configured. I simply rotate the adustment wheel below the pad - it is an integral part of the spacer - when I do that the cheek piece simply slides out of the way so cleaning is never an issue. Stay tuned.

here is where I don't have an issue with something in the topside hole.
Here is a vid from Terje338 that shows how it works.

I use Camo Form wrap; I started to use it to make the cheek piece not so slippery, when shooting in the desert by 100+ temps, sweat suck. Don't need to use much of it, it clings to itself, even after many uses. It should also take care of your "hole issue".
