this is a case of an ongoing design. the pic on the left is the cheek piece i had papy_yosh make me, he followed my instructions PERFECTLY. after a few months i felt the appearence was a little pronounced for me. i attempted to give the piece a more "Bengal" look. it tones down the red , and i like the contrast better now. i don't expect all to agree. at the time i just did not wish to just go black with the cheek piece. appearence aside, gun works like a wonder, so smooth.
