I must try offering a 'standard' UK 4T cheekpiece on a P'14 (W) stock, & see how it sits...
Of the modest number of 4T cheekpieces that I've seen that were or had been fitted to early production No4 snipers' rifles, a lot of them differed slightly in the contour of the inletted 'notches' at the front, especially the one on the left (safety catch) side, & most were made from stained birch, similar in colour to typical Savage woodwork. Having said that Warren's doesn't look like birch...... The trouble with these things is we don't know at what point the cheekpiece was fitted to the rifle. Is there provenance for the rifle Warren??
