Have you looked at the clamp type Colt 62122 and M3 bipods?
There are low pro gas blocks with picatinny rails (under) and ones with bayonet lugs. Either one will help you accomplish mounting a bipod. Neither one should be too expensive. |

Have you considered the XM3 style bipod? You can find them on gunbroker and ebay, perhaps other places, too. No extra parts or modifications.
Not my picture.

A different gas block is a viable option, but I'd really hate to switch the one I have, considering I've done custom fitting work on it. A new gas block would mean a new custom milled barrel. I've got some non-standard bullshit going on. |

So, why can't you just drill and tap some holes, in the bottom half of the gas block, and screw a section of rail or bipod stud to it?
Need more pics of rifle

I dont have enough meat on my gas block for a good thread bite, not one I'm comfortable with anyways. Plus, the botton of the block has two set screws already in it that pin the block to my barrel. (One 1/8" and one 1/4") I don't have any more space to thread holes. I think i may just sandbag the rifle, its a range queen anyways. Ive posted a link to one of my other posts that has pictures of the build. Im still open to ideas, but i may have a new barrel made down the road, and buy a gas block with a rail on the bottom.

If your wood handguards have the same size/style/location of vent holes in the bottom at the synthetic hand guards do this one might work for you.
I actually used one of these for my M1A GI stock to put a bipod on it. Worked great. shooter-s-ridge-ar-15-adaptor-for-shooters-ridge-bipods |

If you think the 8 screws provide enough clamping force to keep the block from rotating, I'll order a similar gas block with a railed bottom. I was worried that without the set screws, and the torque from a bipod mounted on it, that Id have some twisting going on. Its worth a shot I guess, I could always drill and tap a hole through the new gas block's rail and put a set screw in it to put my mind at ease.
Im gonna try what M1A4ME suggested first, because I happen to already own one of those mounts. I wil put some leather or felt in between the metal and wood though like you suggested, I spent too long putting the varnish on those jamdguards to mess them up. |
