Loose cheek piece
I thought I would share this since it worked out so well for me. My cheek piece was loose when I got my used cricket. Since it was made of wood I took it off and put it in a vice, upside down. Then I very carefully squeezed it a little skinnier and took a spray bottle of water and soaked it real good. Then I let it dry for two days and it took a set at the skinnier size. Now it snaps on nice and crisp and fits tight. Just FYI.

Squirrel they are kinda flimsy, I have broken them I wish Kalibrgun would make them out of fiberglass. That way Ville could also use them for his whiskey.
Meh…if you just make it fit you won’t need to add anything else. No tape, no glass, no Velcro, nuttin’
You mean beer goggles don’t you Ville??
Glass belongs in windows. Not in bedding, nor on guns!

I won´t have that ! My Whiskey – glasses , all of them , are made of glass. Except for those made of Chrystal i use to impress my non-educated and poor neighbours. I also have a vast collection of Beer-glasses/Pints and those are also made of glass – except for them plastic Frosty Mugs.
I took mine off, I like it better that way for reloading. :4:

I use brown paper packing tape (not the thin plastic one) on mines just below the radius of the barrel. I would start with one lair of making tape first to see if it’s not to tight if it’s still loose add another lair.
It holds well and make a nice click when installing and the tapes waxy surface make it slip off when removing.
If it ware out it’s easy to replace, nothing permanent.

I glass bedded mine. Put the releasing agent on the barrel and receiver then glass bed the cheek piece. It will prevent cracking and make the fit so tight it is hard to remove. Velcro belongs on clothes not guns.
Gutsy!
I’d recommend velcro with the sticky back. Wood cracks!
