Magpul Ak 0.25" Cheek Riser

The Magpul AK 0.25" Cheek Riser is a tool-less clip-on height adjustment accessory engineered for AK platform shooters who need elevated cheek weld geometry without permanent modifications to their stock. Magpul offers this riser in three progressive height increments—0.25", 0.50", and 0.75"—allowing operators to dial in the exact sight picture required for their optic setup and natural head position. Unlike adhesive pads or permanent spacers, the clip-on design enables users to swap heights without tools or installation commitment.

This cheek riser is engineered specifically for compatibility with Magpul MOE AK and Zhukov-S stocks, the two most widely adopted modern AK furniture platforms. The design preserves full functionality on both platforms: it does not interfere with the integrated storage compartment found on MOE AK stocks, nor does it impede the side-folding mechanism on Zhukov-S models. Manufactured in the USA, the riser uses proven Magpul materials and tolerances to resist shifting during recoil impulse while remaining field-removable. Weight impact is minimal at 0.13 lbs, making the 0.25" option an especially lightweight choice for shooters minimizing loadout mass.

This accessory is essential for shooters running red dot sights, low-profile optics, or night vision systems on modern AK rifles. When factory stock height leaves the shooter's head too far from the sight picture, cheek weld suffers, accuracy degrades, and target acquisition slows. The Magpul cheek riser solves this with the flexibility to experiment across three heights until achieving the optimal relationship between eye position and optic. Preferred by competitive AK shooters, patrol rifle operators, and precision rifle enthusiasts, the clip-on form factor makes it practical for training use where stock swaps or height adjustments occur frequently.
