Yes it is from MrM1A1... It's on a DD CHF light weight profile I bought 1 also. works pretty well. How much did you pay? I may pick one up and totally revamp this upper. (or just build a second one for it. ) |

i received mine last week, look really well made! now i just need to finish my first project and start a new one! I sure wish those M60 bipod were cheaper!
|
|

Yeah the m2 is a good idea
I love the M60 especially after actually using one but the price tag is high |
|
Man that's sweet. My next AR build is gonna be an M16A2 clone, i might throw an m60 bipod on it just for shits and tits

Wools10 awesome post! Any pics of what it looks like with the bipod legs closed?

The M60 bipod mount for an AR15. My choice of mounts to the rifle were barrel mount, bayonet lug mount or rail mount. I didn't want the barrel mount. The first one I made was for a bayonet lug (I wanted to be able to take the bipod off and put it on quickly and easily) and it started with an adapter from Versa Pod #150-101. <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/150-101_zps8f505a80.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/150-101_zps8f505a80.jpg</a> The next ones I made were for a free float rail mount and they start with one of these two adapters. Versa Pod #150-611 and #150-621 The center rods are welded. <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/150-6112_zpscd7f1f98.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/150-6112_zpscd7f1f98.jpg</a> <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/150-621_zps7c919372.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/150-621_zps7c919372.jpg</a> A bushing had to be made to fit in the bipod and to receive the Versa mounts. Here is a photo of the bushing. It's round stock turned down with a small flange on one end, and a hole in the opposite end. It is cross-drilled for a roll pin to hold the mount into the bushing and also holds everything to the bipod in place. <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1226031213b_zps02f0b56f.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1226031213b_zps02f0b56f.jpg</a> <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1226031213a_zpsaba904a7.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1226031213a_zpsaba904a7.jpg</a> The Versa adapter was modified by removing the stop cant pin,, and cut, shortened to fit inside the bushing and cross drilled for the roll pin. <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030906azzz_zps4039763c.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030906azzz_zps4039763c.jpg</a> <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030906b_zps802d6708.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030906b_zps802d6708.jpg</a> Here's the three parts needed to mount the M60 bipod. <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1226031212_zpsa6413c1d.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1226031212_zpsa6413c1d.jpg</a> When you put it all together it looks like this. <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030903z_zps6335fbc2.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030903z_zps6335fbc2.jpg</a> <a href="http://s461.photobucket.com/user/ipipe4u/media/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030905zzz_zps9578fabd.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/ipipe4u/WILLIAM-PC/M60%20Adapter/1222030905zzz_zps9578fabd.jpg</a> I will edit in some dimensions a little later. Although I didn't disassemble and photograph one of the free float mounts for a rail, notice the center attachment rod is welded along its base to the mount. It is sturdier that the bayonet lug mount which is a pressed in pin. Comments, suggestions and improvements are always welcome. -William View Quote Very good Idea. I like that better than the way I have mine because the legs hit the free float rail. |

good day,
well after figuring out the look I wanted to achieve and getting all the parts, here is my version of an M60 bipod on a AR15 I just need to replace the gas tube and it should be good to go. The handguard actually prevent the bipod to rotate when in folded position. When deployed the rifle can rotate freely either way. Im hopping this will help reloading when in prone position. https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/1604441_751515818211125_684354298_n.jpg https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1609885_751516274877746_2094431678_n.jpg |

Skillets: Nice work, reminds me of the M60 MG I carried for a while in the 2/28 Inf. It was a heavy mutha, a bit more than the BAR it replaced, but less weight than the .30 cal Browning which it also replaced. By the time you add in the M60's tripod, spare barrel and ammo, it was a heavy load for 3 people. All my M60 shooting was from the tripod with 5and1 tracers. It was like aiming a water hose, guaranteed to bring mucho hurt on anyone within direct fire range, .
Interestingly, the M60's rate of fire was considerably slower than what your video shows with the Slidefire setup on your AR. Its was also slower than the old .30 cal Brownings we started with, something the Korean War vets complained about. In old school infantry/armor tactics, you want the ability to put multiple bursts of 5 downrange as quickly as possible. The enemy doesn't sit still when the bullet start flying. The current issue SAW is about right, in that regard. - CW |

That's awesome! Damn... I think I know my next build. What's being done to prevent gas tube overheat? Nothing really.... I have considered running a piston or looking into a different gas tube for real machine guns. But for now, I mostly just use the "rhythm method"—as in shooting at a sustained or rapid rate. The magazine changes allow for some cooling as well. |

I had previously estimated the average rate of fire at around ~650 rounds per minute... Put it on a shot timer and had a 16 round burst with all of the splits between 0.05 and 0.06.... That's a RoF of around 1100rpm (I also had some major issues regarding my FCG and I think it was just too damn fast....) |

Was it already asked in here if a harris style bipod was attempted and if so, why the op decided against it? View Quote A few reasons: for starters, there is no slack in my sets of Haris bipods. The slack facilities a proper back and forth bumpfire action. Second, the ones I have don't get the gun off the ground far enough with bigger magazines. Finally...they look cool |

SkilletsUSMC, Just now saw this post for the first time. That's a really nice job you did with your rifle and bipod, and I enjoyed the video. I've heard of the bumpfire stocks but had never seen one in action. That is way too cool. Keep up the good work.
