Mounting Harris Bipod on .223 bull barrel Handi
« on: March 07, 2007, 11:00:10 AM »
I got this bipod today.  I can get the mounting tabs snapped on but then it to thick to lower down inside the bipod so it cannot snug up against the forearm.  I was going to take a dremel or file to it but thought I would check before I did that.  Is their an adapter.......or do I need to file on it.

What kind of bipod is it? I had a bipod on my .223 bb and didn't have any problems fitting on the Handi.

I don't have a problem mounting them, just getting the rifles to shoot good from it!! :-\

I finally got it on there.....

Turns out the "ears" at the top of the attachment were making contact with the forearm before the nipples where going into the swivel.  I took a dremel and flattened the ears out, took just a bit of metal off and then it fit....tight but it fit.

It could have to do with the extra thickness of the truck bed liner I sprayed on the stock but I doubt it.

Seems to be rock solid now.....heres my sniper team checking it out.  They need more practice but they are coming along.

Does your son have the family cat in the crosshairs? They both look pretty serious. I think Fischer-Price makes hearing protection ... will make a nice birthday present for both.
