I just bought a 9-13 LM-S (swivel with leg notches) for a general purpose prone bipod. 6-9 seems short unless you have a spacer between the bipod and HG (like C4iGrant). I've had a non-swivel 13-27 model before and it was almost too high for prone use, but it would work for sitting also; sold it a few years ago. 9-13 seems the best compromise for prone shooting.
I need to find some kind of handle or pod-lock to lock the swivel easier. The knurled knob is hard to use. I have a bushmaster varminter handguard (FF vented aluminum) and it comes with a bipod/sling stud. The bipod mounts easy to it. |

if you shoot prone and use a 30 rd mag then the 9-13 would probably be better

The thing I would advise is don’t waste a lot of money on a mount.
Remember the mount does not need to be a precisely machined piece of metal. It is not a functioning moving part. I have seen these mounts for 100.00 plus. To me that is a ridicules amount of money. The Bipod will have movement even if you mounted it on a 1000 pound piece of steel. The following picture is my $30 mount for my carbine. It fit good and tight on my rail. I have two Harris Series 1A2 Model LM Bipods. Legs out stand off the hand guard just over 81/2 inches. Legs fully extended are 13 inches off the hand guard. I have found this to be perfect for all known positions. Hope this helps you out. Edit to add: I bought it from a gun show and do not know the maker. The dealer carries a lot of RRA parts and pieces if that helps.

I've got one harris bipod with the notched legs, and can't find anymore? Anybody have a lead on these??
Or maybe the local shops just haven't got any in stock yet. But if anybody has an online source Hook a ARFCOMER up!

If you goning to be shooting from a bench or from a low folage AO, then the the Hariss is fine. For moderate to very heavy folage, I have switched to the GG&G bipod. Less to get hung up on. For the HAris, a LaRue mount. The GG&G has there own, which works very well. |

I use four different ones, and I pretty much like them all. I don't know that I'll buy any more swiveling ones.

I've bought the BR (6"-9") and L ("9-13") Model, "S" Series Harris Bipods from an internet auction
 (the notched models are also available there). Both under $70 brand new. I also use the ARMS #32 Throw Lever Bipod Adaptor and the less expensive YHM-638 Bipod Adaptor. Both are pretty good. With the ARMS model, I like the fact that you can release the bipod quickly from the HG. The YHM model attaches to the HG rail with two allen screws. I would highly suggest getting a lever for the swivel nut. It does not stay tight if done by hand.HTH |

I got the Harris #5 AR15 adaptor and I fit it to my AR with the Harris BR bipod, fits like a dream - The adaptor was a whole $10.00, best deal out there IMO

Thanks Rollyman. I never seem to be able to get the hot links to work. I thought that was a great deal on the locks from T-nut. I guess he had a real rush for them when the word first got out.

Just got off the phone with the guy from T-Nuts. Ordered two ratchets and spacers. The good news is that there is no minimum shipping and that they will go out tomorrow. Seemed like a nice guy.

T-Nut is a great guy, he's done everything he could to help us AR15.com guys out he could, so when you order a "T-Nut lock", you might as well order 2 or 3, you know you'll use it on that next build you've got in mind. |
