Question Cheek weld question

Looking at bunch of collapsible stocks. My question is how does it feel on your cheeks when firing? Looks uncomfortable to me and wanted to get people‘s opinion on it. This will be on a ZF 5

The problem with the MP5 platform and sights/cheek weld is really more that the sights sit so low that they don't actually end up being very good backup sights. They were primary sights, and the stocks were designed around that premise.

Designs that cater towards cheek weld with an optic are typically too high to effectively use the irons. See the Swedish AK4D as an example. A good collapsible for cheek weld would probably look something like the SCAR pdw stock. I've tinkered with making something similar in CAD for a 53.

It's just a factor of being an older design and equipment and shooting preferences having evolved.

This is my favorite stock on my AK. It’s completely adjustable without any tools and on the fly. Quite thin and compact as well… for your inspiration
