Why would you want to put a airsoft/paintball part on a real gun is beyond me.

If it improves ergonimics, I'd say you'd be stupid and stubborn not to use it, no matter what sector it's intended use is for. It's still a MagPul part. I trimmed mine so it didn't block the ejection port, however using.75" eliminates use of the irons, so it killed it for me.
 
Wrong. The Magpul stuff is marked different because the quality and durability are not there. Using airsoft quality stuff on a real firearm is a hazard to those around you.
 
^ A cheek riser? Really? Hold on, I'll turn over all of my firearms to the RCMP, get my bubble wrap suit on and go sit in the corner for the rest of it.

I understand your point, and for most situations I'd hold your opinion. But it's a cheek riser, not an integral component of the rifle. I'll be honest, I didn't realize they were branded or marked different, but I really don't think it's a cause of concern. MILSIG was the first place I found them in stock in black so I ordered up. On a T97, nine chances out of ten the user will be double-sided taping it to the rifle, so integrity of the plastic wouldn't be an issue I'd be worrying about, espcially when it has to be trimmed and modified to fit properly anyways. But that just me...

Anyways, for some more info to the OP, using the .75 lined up perfect using a scope on low rings, but made the irons un-useable, for me anyways. 0.5" may do the trick for a decent medium. However, if I want to run optics I'll install T97.ca's new Flat Top Upper with some BUIS. Just seems like a better option.
