The dang Harris Bipod!  Does anyone have detailed directions for installation on standard handguards w/ a #5 adapter?  Thanks in advance.  Happy New Year!

You have to remove the heat sheild. Then put the thing together thru one of the handguard ventholes. Reinstalling the heatshield is optional and kinda' a bitch. I did it once. But only once.

I don't know if the OP's still workin' on it or not, but it's been a slow year so far.

I didn't see the need to remove the heat shield.

Start with the (bottom) handguard removed:

Put the mount on as below:



Put the handguard back on the rifle:

Loosen the mounting bolt:

Until you can spread the stud grips apart:

And let them grab the stud you already installed:


Mount it with the legs folding forward. Tighten up the mounting bolt and you're done.

yes..did it that way too ..without removing the heat shield.
I find the platform pretty stable with A2 hgs and #5. YMMV
