Im thinking of picking up this handguard and was wondering if it would be possible to mount a small rail on the front of it for a bipod http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=5585/sku=231-015-007/Product/Carbine-Free-Float-Tube

It doesnt have any holes so would I just have to drill a couple for the rail?

im sure it would work. you could probably just drill and tap a hole for a sling swivel and mount the bipod directly to it. would save a few bucks.

reading the reviews people mention adding rails and sling swivels. i say go for it. :thumbsup:

Have to either mill the bottom of a rail to fit the hand guard or mill a spot on the guard for the rail....then drill and tap the holes....insert screws with thread lock.
The guard is aluminum...so it will be easy to tap.
+1 for just adding the sling swivel is that is all you need.

Pretty simple. Just add a sling stud that the bipod can clamp to. Basically just drill 1 hole and put the stud through then tighten the nut. Easy.

I have one fixed up just like that. You can order the sling stud from Brownells also. Good luck!

For $44 bucks I couldnt go wrong with this one. I dont need to hang a blender/bunch of junk off of it just a simple bipod :thumbup:

Im not sure Im gonna be able to go the sling stud route unless Im missing something here.. The bipod I already have looks like it mounts to a rail..

 

[FrankwT]

LOL OK whatever

Go with a different bi-pod

you can get the bi-pod you need from wal-mart for $40 blackhawk with sling swivel attachment

if you add the rail it will not only look tacky, it wont be as solid, the stud is like $5 at any walmart (packaged for shotguns usually)

There is the solution. Has the adapter built in.

I have did this to several of that type of hand G./ If you put a stud in you will need to put a steel backer on the stud. the al. want not hold up with a lot of use. then go to Wall-mark get a py-pod to go on the stud. This will be the easy est way to do what you want to do, My 50 cents jj
