a buddy gave me a WMI M2 bipod out of a box of parts he had lying around but I’m struggling to mount it up. I go to the internet so look at pics and see what I’m doing wrong, but that’s when I realize mine looks different. it’s all marked correctly but the part that clamps around the gas cylinder is different. what am I looking at here? see my pic vs a stock pic from the Internet

Mine is like the bottom version.

Agreed. Mine is like the bottom one. Does the top one fit on a Garand? Or a BM59?

The two clamps in the top picture look to be very crude with rough edges.  

Would cleaning up the metal work allow it to fit?

Whoops
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

I'm getting down to the last box, the others have all been destroyed...

Is the welding on it steel colored or brass/bronze colored? Real USGI bipods were not welded using steel, they brazed them using brass/bronze. That looks aftermarket/chinese quality.

I think it’d be more than cleaning it up. It is profiled way different.

Not sure if this is meant for a different gun, or what
