Hi all,
I'm not new to guns but I am new to the AR15 scene. I purchase one a few days ago and it's now residing in the Calif. jail awaiting the absurd 10 day waiting period. I'd like to add a bi-pod but I'm not sure how it would attach. The crappy picture attached is the weapon in question. Could someone explaing how the attachment would work in the current configuration? Thanks... http://home.earthlink.net/~mrsr71/AR15.jpg |

The cheaper bipods attach to the barrel. Don't get one of those. Anything that pushes on the barrel can negatively affect accuracy.
If I put a bipod on a rifle (AR15) I first put a free float tube on it. Since the free float tube doesn't contact the barrel out where it can "bend" it a little bit I put the bipod on the front sling swivel stud on the free float tube. Some tubes are round with QD sling swivel stud on them. Some have rails and you can buy a sling swivel attachment accessory to clamp on the bottom rail. No issues with the bipod affecting bullet poiint of impact. Any AR15 that I want to use a bipod on or use a sling (two point sling) has a free float tube on it. Don't get me wrong, you can shoot good groups without a sling or without a free float tube, but its not as easy. |

You can get a bipod mount that fits on your rail that will allow you to attach bipods that are designed to attach to swivel studs.
Yankee Hill Machine 
Quick Detach LaRue 
American Defense (ADM) 
Or you can find bipods that are specifically made to attach to rails without an adapter. either way, that AFG is going to be in the way. I personally like to use bipods on longer free floating rails. |
