AICS thumbwheel tensioner for cheekpiece?

[pazzo]

Is there a thumbwheel tensioner upgrade for the AICS (for my AI AE actually) to eliminate/replace the allan screws which currently lock the adjustable cheekpiece in place?
I hate having to remove the bolts with the allan key every time I need to take the cheekpiece out in order to remove the bolt from the action.

Thanks.

Yes you can get some quick adjust thumbscrew knobs for adjusting the cheekpiece.

Having to take off the cheekpiece is probably the biggest reason to go with a folding 2.0 stock.

Ok. Where can I get them?

I didn't have the luxury of getting a 2.0 for it is an MKI AE

I believe this is similar but produced by another company.

Thumbscrews 2

Got a set of these from SRT.

Here they are on my pea shooter.

Great. I ordered a pair a few mins ago.

Does the "AI" actually line up vertically when they are fully tightened?
