PICATINNY BIPOD ADAPTER Reviews & Ratings

Lightweight, slimline design eliminates the “clunky” extra baggage look that goes along with trying to mate a bipod to a AR-15/M16 handguard. The rugged, aluminum platform with fixed attachment stud provides a superior fit to Weaver or Picatinny, accessory rails. Two hex-head crossbolts give uniform clamping pressure, so adapter remains rock solid while shooting. Specifically contoured to accept Harris and similar bipods that attach to a swivel stud. SPECS: Aircraft-grade aluminum, hardcoat anodized, matte
black finish. 2-5/8' (6.7cm) long, 1ј' (3.2cm) wide, 5/8'
(1.6cm) high. 2.2 oz. (62g) wt.

Did Not Fit My Picatinny Rail

This is a solidly made adapter milled out of a single piece of aluminum. It does not have a separate clamping bar, but appears to depend on a cut halfway through the adapter to give some "spring" to one side. However, it can't really be spread apart. It can not be installed by rotating it from the side over the rail, and it was too narrow to slide onto my rail from the end. I am returning this product for another after I talk to a Brownell's technician.
