Has anyone added a cheek riser to the MOE stock?

I wanted to hear any feedback on the fit to the stock. Specifically looking at part" MAG326blk (.5" riser)

Also read they interfere with the charging handle but I'm assuming this not an issue with the stock fully extended.

People have put risers on their guns, not exactly sure on MOE. I would assume it's not a problem. The only problem like you said was the charging handle. It is not a problem when the stock is fully extended.

no need for a riser,,, mount your optic lower

depends where he wants his sights. If he wants them up high, then he may need a riser. Just depends. To each his own

I put a .75 cheek riser on my MOE and it works just fine! It snaps on and fits right into the grooves already there on the stock. Since my scope is mounted on top of my carry handle, I needed the "extra" height for eye to scope alignment. When I shoot my iron sights (which is rare), I just pop off the cheek plate and I'm good to go!

Good luck on yours!

Your rifle looks sweet. I like the carbine handguard with the front sight on it and the carry handle...

Jammer/Mudking. Thanks for the replies and confirmation that fit is good.

I put an adjustable cheek riser on my caa stock and my scope is on 1" high rings and I don't even really need it.

I tried the .5 and was to high. Waiting on a .25 see how it fits.

So the question is do you ever intend to shoot real rifles or stick with just toys. No one runs cheek risers on AR's or M4's so what makes it a good idea to run them on .22's? Even with the stock fully extended the Magpul riser will not allow full charging handle travel, it was intended for use on M14 EBR stocks that use M4 butts like the Sage or Vltor. If your optic setup requires a cheek riser it is not the proper setup and you would be well advised to correct that instead of adding more bits and pieces to try and overcome a bad install. Jammer your setup had it's day, about 25 years ago before the era of flat top receivers arrived, now days you would be better served with high rings or a riser rail.

This is the LaRue Tactical RISR I put on my Three year old MOE rifle. It helps him see the scope better. And it really works for him.

Due to the shorter stroke of the 15-22 charging handle, the Magpul riser only interferes with charging in the first position. I have a .25" riser on my CTR and from second position out works just fine.

I merely asked for feedback on fit and charging handle interference. This is not a "battle weapon" therefore any references to it being an incorrect setup really do not apply.

I respect everyones opinion but In this case I'm not sure why there is a need to state my setup is incorrect based on the above question of fit and interference.

Again, thanks to those that replied to the original question(s).

This has to be one of the most arrogant, and idiotic replies I have seen here. Very classy...not.

my charging handle works just fine with the magpul riser in either position , .5" hanging over the front of the stock fully extended or have the slanted end forward, i can collapse my stock by 2 positions, no problems. And as a person who wears glasses I like the straighter angle I can hold my head at while maintaining a good cheek weild

I have never considered ANY firearm a toy!!! What an arrogant attitude!

So apparently this yaywho has had a bonefied brain fart. Cheeck riders are to assist the shooter with a comfortable and steady shooting position that is all so regardless of the weapon system its based on the shooters preference. And also cheek riders have been around for a long long time.

Oh really, I am arrogant and idiotic for pointing out the fact that out of literally millions of users of modern flattop AR, M4 and M16's full caliber rifles none of them use Magpul cheek risers. I suppose I should just jump on the bandwagon and ooh and aah and that looks cool.

Edited because after too many adult beverages I did get pretty arrogant.

It's pretty arrogant to say no one who uses a real flat top m4 or m16 use a cheek riser cause I'm active duty army and I know plenty of soldiers who use cheek risers to get a good sight picture and position. Cheek risers are for to assist the shooter and if it happens to be to assist them in shooting a 15-22 then so be it and just cause they add all these things to there weapon doesn't make it a toy regardless of the caliber this weapon can still kill someone. It is a WEAPON not a TOY. So please do the following u may need assistance..... Grasp firmly at the shoulders and please remove your head from your ***. Thank you.

To get back on track, the Magpul CTR riser is not designed to be used on an AR as it extends forward of the stock and interferes with the charging handle even with the stock fully extended. Knowing how professional Magpul is and how fond they are of improving their products the fact that they have not changed their riser leads me to guess that they did this on purpose so their riser would not be used on AR's. Carbine risers are frowned upon by serious users because the purpose of collapsible stocks is to adjust length of pull for comfort and proper sight eye relief. The latter is very important when using a scoped rifle and body armor or if like some you were taught to shoot nose to charging handle. Adding something to a stock that interferes with proper function unless the stock is in a certain position is bad because someday when Murphy shows up and you need to cycle your action but your stock is one hole in you can miss your shot, and it may be a very important shot. Now about the use of the word “toy” what prompted this is the fact that I do consider these rifles a very useful tool that will introduce many new shooters to the world of black rifles and teach them how much fun and useful they are. And while some may never move up to larger calibers I believe that many will. And while it shouldn’t bother me sometimes when I see users doing silly things I just have to shake my head.

To clarify for those that don't know, the LaRue Tactical RISR slides back when using the charging handle, it doesn't block it.

LaRue Tactical RISR

I use the .25" riser. I can't shoot with the stock collapsed anyway. I have long arms and bending my wrist to achieve a nose-to-handle hold isn't in the cards.

Next time Murphy and I are running from a horde of Zombies with 15-22's and my charging handle won't operate because my stock is fully collapsed due to my huge body armor, I'll stop and think...Mack was right.

And that has WHAT to do with the person who wants a riser on his NON-COMBAT firearm? I have a 0.75" riser on mine so the eye line for my scope, RDS and iron sights is the same for all three of them when my cheek is on the riser. You don't think I need one? Thankfully that's simply your OPINION, not anything factual.

Maybe if you laid off the adult beverages ...

BTW, I was actually commenting upon your calling the 15-22 a toy. And if you think it's a toy, what are you doing here instead of somewhere that supports real firearms? <gg>

The actually purpose of the colapseable stock in the military is for airborne mission the rifle should always be zeroed and fired at full extensions so anyone can pick it up and fire it. Just to clairify.

Incorrect. The stock is adjusted to fit the shooter and can be fired at any length. Zeroing is done by individual shooter and assigned weapon, not to fit everyone.

Wow, I clicked on this cheek riser heading to find out if adding one would help me on my right ear muff not getting push up a half inch. Would this help? There are real guns being shot around me and I don't need the hearing loss. Does this help?

Probably not. I have found that for rifle shooting ear plugs are much better than muffs. They are even better at noise blocking than muffs and there is no stock interference. FWIW, I don't shoot anything bigger than a pellet gun without ear protection.

Thanks for saving me some money.

Ya' welcome.
