Grippy spray on coatings for a cheek riser?

**Tim K** · 02-23-2015, 08:14

I'd like to find something to coat cheek risers to make them a little bit grippy. The parts are plastic and are on a Magpul PRS and an AICS.

There are a lot of products that look like they should work, but I was hoping someone here had already tried it.

I have some grip like rubber tape in a large roll you can have Tim but it may be too aggressive for your face. Your willing to try it. Must softer than sandpaper for sure and if you don't like it peel it off

Just my opinion, but I think that might be a mistake..... I can see a grippy surface causing abrasions to my tender face under recoil..... Might be wrong though, but I'd proceed with caution and not do anything that couldn't be undone.

Maybe try adhesive felt or thin foam (that's what's on mine) and just don't shave for a few days.

Send XLR an email and ask what they use. Maybe they will sell you some.

You could use MoleSkin. Self adhesive stick-on. Real comfy on my AICS. They come in tan (flesh-tone), but I have heard that archery stores have them in different colors including black.

Might try one of the car stereo shops. They might have some adhesive backed rubber that they use for sound deadening. Might work well.

Good idea. Or use some of that Dip-It liquid rubber. I used it on 2 plastic butt pads with good results.

I know I like a grippy cheekpiece. I have one, and have tried others.

I was thinking about plasti-dip or rattle can pickup bed liner. I have some truly industrial double sided tape as well if I could find some thin textured rubber.

Hadn't thought of moleskin. I have a lot of that lying around.

It's nice and soft on your sensitive parts...
