| So this is my very first post on this site! I have two ARs currently. My newest addition to my family is a Colt 6940. My question is I have a Magpul angled forgrip on my bottom rail. So it leaves about 2 inces or so of rail left. I want to put a nice bipod on there as well. But the problem I am running into is not enough rail space. They mostly all required more rail space. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? Thanks! I looked all over online and did not get much info. |

The AFG needs to be in a specific spot....where you find it comfortable. That's a non-negotiable spot. On a carbine-length rail, all the rail estate is consumed now. You will probably have to go with a longer rail to provide some mounting space for the bipod. Centurion makes one that will co-exist with your FSB. |

You will probably have to with a longer rail to provide some mounting space for the bipod. Centurion makes one that will co-exist with your FSB. The 6940 does not really have the capability to add an extended rail - it's a monolithic upper receiver, so you're more or less stuck with the 7" carbine length rail unless you get a new upper. That being said - an AFG and bipod seems like an odd combination to me - the AFG is optimized for dynamic offhand shooting styles - "running and gunning" if you will. A bipod implies a fixed position, whether a bench or a hide site. I could see switching back and forth between them, but I have a little bit of difficulty understanding why or how they would be used in tandem. ~Augee |
