Need to add a cheek rest & Recoil Pad to my Century Arms L1A1 FN FAL. Also need to add a cheek rest to a Bell & Carlson Light Tactical Medalist stock that has a Rem 700 action setting in it. Suggestions?

  Still have the thumbhole stock on the L1A1?
  
  If so, replace it. Check your US parts count before/while doing it.
  
  Once you have a regular stock on there, you may not need a cheek rest. New L1A1 stock should have a recoil pad on it already.

  Believe it or not Amazon sells a bunch of that kind of stuff at good prices.
  
  
  I bought 2 of theses adjustable cheek rests off them. I prefer this kind, because their a lot easier to adjust. Than the ones you have to screw with, that are put on with shoe laces.

  The Old Salt,
  
  For your Light Tactical Medalist there is a good selection of Kydex cheek rests made by various suppliers. One is Karsten:

  Another is Tac Pro:

  These rests allow for adjustments based on the level of your eye with the height of the scope.
  
  I have also used the Blackhawk mentioned above and it works nicely for most butt stocks.
  
  Best.
