    Default Trying to identify a Cheek Pad bought from CMP

    Need the help of the minds here. 1 of the used cheek pads I bought from the CMP on the Friday sell a thon came and it is different than anything I have seen before. Sorry no picture yet, but working on it. In description the overall shape is the same as a standard M1 cheek pad. However this one has a slightly smaller cheek pad area (the raised area) and it has sticking all the way around the cheek pad itself. It also has the standard sticking along the outside edge. There are no markings that I can find. Any info would be helpful.
    Thanks

    Their site says they were sold out in November. The new ones are likely reproductions. Gunparts lists new cheek pads at $32.95. Stamped MRT. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/...80&catid=11883
    Spelling and grammar count!

    I am not an expert on these either but I also got one of those and I am told it is a WWII version. Some supposedly said K Line on them and others didn't. On mine it is sewn all the way around and you can not see the pads on the inside like you can on the other. As it came from CMP I am quite certain it is USGI.

    Those are USGI I have seen several with CMP M1D's and M1C's I have speculated that they are late WW2 or late 40's before MRT markings began.

    Is this the cheek pad you are talking about?

    Yes that is it. The one I have the leather is not as dark but the rest matches perfectly. What time period are these?

    Yes that is it. I have never seen one referenced before. This place is great with all the knowledge base available.
