| ARE THERE ANY HOW TO'S ON THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO INSTALL A BIPOD WITH PICS |
|
To mount a harris, you need to find the exact bottom of the FF tube and drill/tap for a sling stud. If you don't get the stud on the bottom, your rifle will be out of level, which will cause your shots to cast off to the side. You can get a tilt bipod to compensate. I made a tilt adapter for my rifle that works on sort of the same idea as the Versa Pod bipod, but uses a regular harris bipod  The blocky part is mounted to the rifle on a swivel stud hole with a 10-32 countersunk screw. The round piece has a swivel stud on the bottom to which the bipod is attached. A 1/2" stainless ball lock pin holds the two pieces together. Here is a pic with the bipod mounted in a more conventional matter

On a varmint hunter foregrip like that, little point to a rail...if you want a vertical grip, its best to go with a rail system or standard handguards... Ive actually mounted my Harris clone to my 9mm plinker on the aftermarket forward sling mount, and it seems very sturdy...

pic of bipod latch and stud  Pic of stud on handguard  pic of how bipod latches on to stud  pic of tension screw, tightened to draw bipod tight to forend  It is plenty sturdy, though I expect a concerted effort tightening the thing could pull out the stud. If it is installed with a nut on the back instead of tapping the aluminum, it isnt coming off without really breaking something. |
