Solutions take the form of necesity and a good cheek weld trumps looks any day. Are you saying that your moderator is only 8 oz as that is certainbly very light. I cant quite make out whether it is end of barrell can or a slight over barrel model. I have one of the lighter units available here in the overbarrel configuration in duralium and SS at 10 oz with just 4 in forward of muzzle so the weight is closer in and effects balance less.
I took a different ( and lighter) aproach to a suplementary cheekpiece for one of my stocks. I used a length of 3 in plastic downpipe and with cutting and heating came up with a suitable shape. I used clingfilm on the stock and filled the void with expanding foam and covered it with pigskin. I do have to remove it to clean the barrel but inset a nut into the stock so the machine screw runs into steel thread and remains tight even after many off and on's.
