Cheek Rest & Recoil Pad

The Old Salt

Need to add a cheek rest & Recoil Pad to my Century Arms L1A1 FN FAL. Also need to add a cheek rest to a Bell & Carlson Light Tactical Medalist stock that has a Rem 700 action setting in it. Suggestions?

Still have the thumbhole stock on the L1A1?

If so, replace it. Check your US parts count before/while doing it.

Once you have a regular stock on there, you may not need a cheek rest. New L1A1 stock should have a recoil pad on it already.

Believe it or not Amazon sells a bunch of that kind of stuff at good prices.


I bought 2 of theses adjustable cheek rests off them. I prefer this kind, because their a lot easier to adjust. Than the ones you have to screw with, that are put on with shoe laces.

The Old Salt,

For your Light Tactical Medalist there is a good selection of Kydex cheek rests made by various suppliers. One is Karsten:

Another is Tac Pro:

These rests allow for adjustments based on the level of your eye with the height of the scope.

I have also used the Blackhawk mentioned above and it works nicely for most butt stocks.

Best.
