Ended up with 2 AES10Bs but they came with 2 different bipods. One has a collar that required FSP to be removed to install. The other has a collar with a pin that allows it to open up. This bipod is shorter than the one with the collar and I cant seem to get it to fit as the collar doesn't appear to be able to clamp down(ie..too small)







Is this a PKM bipod? Will it fit? The clamp sure doesnt look like it will but I didn't try to hard.

Thanks for any help

I measured the barrel cut out and the inside if the bipod clamp.

Bipod is .585
Barrel is . 645

Unless this clamp flexed some when installed I don't see how it can possible fit and the even be able to rotate. Guess I get it in the vice or use something to see if I can get it clamped on the barrel

It appears to be a PKM bipod. I had an early AES-10B that had a PKM bipod and it fit on the barrel so I'm not sure why it isn't fitting on yours. Maybe it isn't a PKM bipod?

Did yours have the shims welding inside the clamp. This one does and appears to be the issue as to why it won't close on the barrel

have you tried popping the shims out? It would be worth the work so you don't have to pull the FSB to for a "correct" bipod.
