A.R.M.S.® 17S BIPODS Reviews & Ratings

The Magpul Bipod for A.R.M.S.® 17S Style mounts offers serious strength and versatility at a price that provides unmatched value. Magpul’s lightweight Mil-Spec hard anodized 6061 T-6 aluminum and injection-molded polymer bipod brings innovation in ergonomics, functionality, strength and value together. Its low-profile design conceals its internal mechanisms and hardware, smoothly brushing off snags and bumps. Optimized for rapid one-handed adjustments, the bipod quickly and quietly transitions between user configurations.

In the shooting position, it is easily loaded with stabilizing forward tension without fear of failure or warping. Its aluminum and stainless steel components, along with its injection-molded reinforced polymer, ensure years of dependable performance and reliability, all while shaving weight. It's extremely light weight, at just over 11 oz.

Leg extensions slide and lock securely with the push of a button on any of the seven half-inch spaced locking detents. The legs extend 3.5 inches, from 6.8” to 10.3”. An industry-exclusive 50° of total tilt and 40° of total pan are controlled by a glove-friendly knurled tool-less bipod locking knob located between the extended legs. It also has the exclusive ability to lock pan at 0° while maintaining full tilt functionality. Folded, the streamlined housing and legs fit neatly under the barrel and are just under 2.3” deep and 3.3” wide. Anodized surfaces and tight, precision tolerances mitigate squeaks and rattles.

A soft rubber bipod locking knob cap is attached to the locking knob gives users a steady, non-marring forward rest while the bipod is folded. Additionally, its staggered soft rubber feet hold fast on a variety of shooting surfaces and are easily removed with a roll pin punch. Should users choose to change feet, the Magpul Bipod’s legs accept most Atlas pattern bipod replaceable feet, except for the Atlas 5-H style.

Made in the USA.

Decent

The aluminum and polymer construction is Lightweight. The swivel and rock feature is nice. The adjustment knob is nicely made, and knurling good. The MLok attachment is made by Midwest Industries and is solid. Fully extended it has a slight wobble but nothing major, and stayed on target at 100y with rapid fire.

High quality but could be better

So far it has held up good to being used on a bench, but it feels loose when firing. Very little wobble out of it but it would be preferable if there was none. Still a good bipod for the price.

Magpul sling stud bipod

Great bipod Legs lock into place Enough movement in the legs to get a nice preload It's quiet during the shot unlike Harris which makes a nasty vibrating sound Doesn't have pan but I don't like the pan option cause its not good for accuracy or preload

M Lock = Pic =

I purchased the M Lock version for one build, loved it! Enough that I purchased a second for another build. They both look great and dont add on too much weight to the front of your rifle. The pic version doesnt seem as sturdy as it tends to come loose easier than the M Lock version.

Pretty nice

This bipod appears to be very well built. I put this on a 16 ar that is set up as a poor mans saw. its a good design with a lot of features. The pan and tilt are easily tightened up. I just wish it had a little less front to back play. But once you load it, it stays pretty good.

Lightweight and simple to use

I use this for Target shooting . I like the simplicity and all functions work smoothly. I wish the big knob was easier to use. Overall, a good and simple unit.
