How the hell do you get it off?!! I`ve been trying to get it off my austrian STG 58 from DSA. I oiled up the screws because it`s baically been in storage for the last 2 years and I want to change the furniture on it. Of course the manual doesn`t have instructions on this! They show how to strip the gun into its`smallest pieces, but not the bipod. I managed to get one screw off, but I stopped after sarted to mangle the screw and started searing a blue streak. Anyone know an easier way?

make, buy or borrow one of THESE i'm sure there are WECSOG methods to be found on the FILES |
Thanks for the link! I finally manage to get it off with screwdriver after spraying the joint with lubricant and letting Brake Free soak in.

| Between removing the bipod and steel handguards, the rifle really lightened up. It feels much less muzzle heavy. I will say the attention to small details on the austrian stocks was surprising. They actually placed small anchors in the buttstock for the screws for the sling swivel. |

The bipod clamp itself is threaded (unless you've removed one this is not obvious). As a result, the castle nut is reallly a "lock nut", and so has to be removed first in order to unscrew the big wide head screw from the barrel clamp. If you grind a notch out of the middle section of a big flat screwdriver, it makes a good tool to take off the castle nut. |
