I have a new Colt MT6700 20" A3 rifle. Am I going to need a RAS II or some other equivilant to be able to add anything to the rifle? I am running into my first problem looking for a bipod. There is no place for it to mount to the rifle. I saw on Bushmasters site they have adapters but I would need a triple mount ($80) and a bipod adapter ($50). If I did that it along with a free floating barrel system ($150+) puts me not to far away from a trick RAS II or it's equivilant. Am I going to end up getting a RAS II or equivilant eventually? Is it a for gone conclusion? Thanks

Well, Harris makes a #5 adapter to mount a bipod on the bottom of standard AR15 handguards.  It's $10, I think.  Even if you do buy the RASII, I think you'll still need to buy the bipod adapter for a picatinny rail.

[url]www.sr-25.com[/url] sells the KAC bipod adapter for a very reasonable price.  His name on the boards is Bandit-ExcaliburArms

Although a bit more expensive, the ARMS (#32?) Harris bipod adapter is the ultimate Harris to rail system interface.  Period.  Wes Grant of [url]MSTN.biz[/url] has it listed in the EE.

You could find the GI bipod surplus.Also if you don't want to spend the money on a FF RAS there is the RIS,just replaces the hnd grds.If you have a permenatly mounted compensator other then changing out the barrel,may be best choices.I have a free floated/nation match tubed upper and a RIS to inter change during non CMP shooting.But I always shot the same type /grain rnd
