Re: cheek pad for M1A / M14?
Which stock do you have (standard M14/M1A/walnut/synthetic/etc.)? There are several options out there ranging from those that permanently modify your stock, to the lace on/velcro on options, but need to know what setup you are currently running.

I dig the Blackhawk with the hawktex.

Also depends on how high the scope sits. 34mm tube and a 50mm objective and your gonna need something higher

Re: cheek pad for M1A / M14?
Without going the stock mod route and installing a Karsten cheek rest, the Smith Enterprises rest is a good option as long as you don't need more than around 1/2" of extra height on your stock's comb. If you need more than that, then the Blackhawk model will serve you better as it has several "inserts" that you can put in or take out to adjust the overall height higher than the Smith Ent version. Cal's has the BH model on sale right now for cheap!

You don't want the one in the picture. It is for the M1D with its off set scope. The mounts and scope will have alot to do with the height needed. I used ARMS bases and rings which are rather low and found that an old leather pad I bought years ago from Cabela's worked perfectly as it only added 1/2 an inch to the comb.

I know it can be used by some people. I'm not one of them as I have an xxl head and only need a little elevation. This pad does offset the shooters head and I believe most people would be better served with other options. I own one of these and they are a quality product but with a specialized application.

I did not want to drill the nice piece of walnut that came with my SuperMatch.
I opted for the leather and velcro pad from these guys:

works well for me.

We are in the process of putting together a cheek rest for Smith Enterprises. It will include a portion using "slip-not" fabric, which is an awesome friggin' material.
We just ordered the slip-not last week, but will try to post pics up once we have them ready. Probably another week or two.

I bought one of the Smith Ent. ones for my GI stocked LRB. It simply sucked. It would not tighten enough to hold it in place. I don't know if it was made incorrectly in China or what, but it went straight back to Brownells.

Not sure who made those, but the ones we are putting together for them will be gtg! And they will be 100% US made!
