HELP-Atlas QD Bipod

[sib1948]

I went to mount my Atlas QD bipod on a new rifle and it's a little. I can't see a way to tighten it. Have not had that problem on my other rifles. Is the rail too small (modular system)? Your thoughts please. Thanks

You can adjust it, there is a nut on the opposite side of the lever. All my rifles had different size rails so I said fuck adjusting it every time and bought one for each rifle lol

You can adjust the tension a bit. I need to do this when switching from my bolt rifle to AR. Not a big thing but a bit of a PITA as it only takes a little adjustment to really tighten up.

Unlock the QD then push it in on the QD side, now rotate the nut on the opposite side of the QD. Voila!

Not sure if you are saying your rail isn't long enough to accommodate the mounting surface needed for the QD mount or if it just won't tighten down. If it won't tighten with just the lever...see the link below. The ADM mounts (all of them) were made to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rails. Here's a link to ADM's PDF file on the installation/adjustment:

Good luck!

Thanks guys. Just guess I wasn't persistent enough!!! I always get a quick answer here.

After your guys advice, it only took 5 minutes and done. As others have mentioned all my bipods and scopes are mated to the rifles for life. Thanks again for all your quick and friendly responses!
