I have an unique hand-made cheek riser & buttstock jacket made from cowhide for Swiss K31 rifle. I personally made this one (made in Seattle, USA) and it fits tight and is great help if you shoot your Swiss K31 with a scope. This jacket fits great and does not get loose while shooting. I used it at multiple shooting sessions. The cheek riser does not interfere with bolt as well as I made it in such a way that you can put or remove a strap without having to remove the jacket. After you install the jacket, pretty much you can keep it on all the time. I made a couple of these jackets and would sell one for $120 cash (in Seattle area) or $130 shipped. Originally I made one for me and then a guy at our range asked me to make one for him. I made one for him, but now he said he does not have money. It took me about 16 hours of leather work to make this accessory. I do leather work for fun.
I would also consider a trade for smokeless powders (RL17, IMR-4350 or IMR-4064) or large rifle primers.

Of course you can buy similar cheek risers for much cheaper, but you will never find one that fits better than this one. Before I made this one I purchased on eBay/Amazon two cheap ones and they all got loose after few shots and were not that ergonomic. Moreover, they were made from cheap materials and won't last. This one might not be machine-perfect, but it is hand-made and will last for decades (of course if you treat it well). The treads are made from multiple waxed hemp treads treaded into single treads. I used simple leather working tools.

Cheers,

Dan

Wow that's nice! And congrats on helping me find and sign up to this site. I know I'm new here and this was posted forever ago, but do you still make these? The fitment is so nice!

Yes, I make these. How far are you from Seattle?

I'm right across the water from you just south of Bremerton in Belfair. Well my shop is anyway.

I would need your stock to make the buttstock jacket. I sold my K31, so I do not have the rifle stock to make the jacket around its butt-stock. It would be much better than the one in these pictures.

Questions:
Are you in a shop or is this something you do from home? Can you add a pouch for a stripper clip or 2 and would a slip on recoil pad hinder this in any way or can you build one into it? (Current recoil pads are ugly as sin but I still love my shoulder.) How much would these modifications affect the price?

Im going to have to mull this over for a bit.

Leather craft is just my hobby and I try to sell few pieces to support my hobby. I am making a lot of leather accessories for my firearms and my outdoor activities and I spent over $500 on leather 2 weeks ago. If I sell $300-$400 of leather products, it will help me to offset money spent on leather craft hobby. I will send you a message so will give you more details.
