| Steve, I have an RRA LAR-8 A4 midlength. What options are there for mounting a bipod? |

If you want to go with a bipod that mounts to a stud, and assuming that you have the regular polymer handguard with heat shields, your best bet is a Harris Number 5 Bipod Adaptor.
I really never recommend bipods on non-floated handguards-as soon as you put the rifle down on it, all of the weight is transferred to your handguard, which in turn transfers it to your barrel...potentially changing both point of aim and point of impact. Steve/RRA |

It's going to require some tools and some experience that many folks don't have.
To install a free float quad of whatever sort, you're goign to practically dstrip th erifle forwar dof th eupper receiver and rebuild it (including the gas system) with a cobination of old and new parts. You'll definietly need th eLAR-8 Upper Receiver Vise Block and wrench head, as well as a strap wrench (2.5"+ nylon strap), a torque wrench, possibly soem allen wrenches, an open end wrench of the appropriate size fo rthe muzzle device, a mallet (for th egas block)....it isn't too bad if ou know what you're doing, or have some help with soem experience, and the right tools. Going in not knowing what you're doing and trying to get by with some of the toold often leads to great aggravation, getting help, sending things in, etc... A lot of gunsmiths who I have met are glad to show you what they're doing...it is a great way to learn while protecting your investment. Steve/RRA. |
