I need a cheek riser for my 551A1. I have a red dot and 3x magnifier on cantilever mounts which works nicely except for being way to high for a decent cheek weld and not cowitnessing at all. Anyways, I'm not having much luck finding one, particularly at a decent price. But I did find one for $25 from an airsoft manufacturer. Is there actually much of a quality/usability difference? Would it work ok on my rifle?

Airsoft cheek riser is ill advised and may not actually fit your stock. Spend $100 and get a Swiss cheek riser from JDI.

“Backordered” means you need to email Dave and order it.

I'll go against the grain a bit and admit I have purchased an airsoft Sig branded cheek riser. It fits very tightly against my Swiss stocks but I purchased it several years ago. I imagine being from China there will be some differences in fit. If you want to take a chance grab the airsoft one, if not Grab the genuine article. JDI is good people.

It's a piece of plastic.

I'd try the airsoft one first...

Do you have a link?

email Rolf at Gunfactory.ch - their English is perfect and far easier to coordiate a purchase over email then use their antiquated frames website.

Transport is about $15-20 on top of the listed price (Swiss Franc and the dollar are about 1:1 right now).

These appear to have texture, the Swiss ones are smooth ... however if you only need a riser and don't care if its correct, try it and let us know!

I've got a one of the Swiss ones that I bought because they are hard to find and I thought I might need one at some point, and I do use it occasionally with my compact ACOG.
