I solved the sting by applying a piece of mole-skin.
Mole skin was my first thought as well but I went with a small file and a scotchbrite pad - filed/buffed off every sharp mold line and smothed all of the edges and check sting is gone. First time out at the range I had to stop shooting because the sting was so horrible my cheek was getting red and hot! Sheesh...
Still, I want a nice, higher padded cheek rest for the Hi-Point carbine. If someone made a clip on or screw on unit I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
