Cheek piece ?

Now that’s funny Keyser.

I painted mine. The original one that was factory painted with some black garbage melted all over my face in the hot desert. My buddies didn’t tell me so we went out to lunch and hung out after a day of hunting while I had large black streaks across my face. I was going to send it back but I painted it myself and then put a clear coat over it. No more blackface :confusedn:

My tactical .22 Cricket came with a wooden cheek piece and I am looking to purchase the synthetic so it looks correct.

:dito:

I had a similar experience when chronoing my cricket, I was distracted and did not close the lever and had the same blast of air and loud report. :ugeekn:
I always use the cover now.

I have both the synthetic (painted) and the wooden pieces for use with either stock I put. I usually don’t use it because I too feel it gets in the way with loading and seeing my pellets. However one time I made the mistake of not closing the lever all the way back and upon firing I got a huge air bust (leak) all the way to my eye (the cheek piece would have protected my eye). that got me thinking that there is probably a safety aspect of it too. Sure its my mistake not to close it correctly but mistakes happen.

Awny

I don’t on my two skeleton stock Crickets. I have them attached to the guns with the 3M washable tape. They would loosen up quickly I think if you had to remove them a lot.

I only asked because I was told they were in short supply. The higher prices better include cheek pieces on all Crickets.
