The problem there might be that the folded bipod would provide a forward grip/heat shield, which would be forbidden for the post-ban pistol.

I don't see why not, after all, if someone was to clamp a SureFire light to the underside of the barrel and had the pressure switch mounted on the side it wouldn't be a handle, it is a flashlight.

USNJoe: A flashlight mount under or to the side of the barrel might also be illegal on an AR-15 post-ban pistol. It's ok on more conventional pistols because they don't have a magazine which mounts outside of the pistol grip (another 'evil feature').

The answer to this is that we don't know, because it's such a gray area that BATF would need to provide a ruling in order to know.

checked with the pro-ord people and guess what.. per them you can attach a bipod with out voiding your warranty and they sell laser and flash light mounts for their ar-15type pistols

YES you can attatch a bipod to your pistol.
People have been putting bipods on pistols for over 60years. I wouldn't worry about it.... JEEZE some of you guys are just SO scared of the simpelest things. If YOU aren't sure you damn well know that ANY COP doesn't have a clue. BISHOP |

Bishop,
I agree (as, I'm sure, do most here) that it's extremely unlikely that anyone will care at all, much less arrest and charge anyone with a crime. But that wasn't the question. People come to the Legal forum for [b]legal[/b] advice. That's what we try to give them. If they ask "what are the chances...", we'll answer that question too, but it wouldn't be correct to give someone false [b]legal[/b] advice in the Legal forum. -Troy |

Quoted: YES you can attatch a bipod to your pistol. People have been putting bipods on pistols for over 60years. BISHOP With all due respect Sir,what people have been doing for the last 60 years doesn't mean crap as to what we can do in the year 2001. I personally don't know the answer to badassjon's question , but I do know the answer isn't what was legal for the last 60 years. It's what legal now. While I don't always agree with Troy, I have always trusted his opinions in these matters |

1st thanx for all the replies to my question
2nd let me tell you what the atf technical branch agent told me today 09/26/01..i can legally attach the bipod ..or flash light or a laser ..as these thigs are not handguards or heat shields and can not (read that to say should not?) be used in that manner . so.... flash lights are flash lights and bipods are bipods..today anyway john in houston p.s. the pro-ord pistol is very easy to fire without a handguard.. the magazine makes a fine hand hold if you slip the offhand thumb thru the trigger guard and grasp the magwell john |
