Looking to extend my LMT quad rail

[MadMax7.62]

Hey guys. I have an LMT .308 with a 20" barrel, and as you know, the rail is not interchangeable, and does not cover the gas block. I am looking for any way to extend the quad rail like 4" so I can put a bipod on it as well as a foregrip at the placement I prefer. I have another LMT upper with a 13.5" barrel, and I like the grip at the very end of the quad rail. I can't find anything like I am looking for, but maybe you guys know something I don't! I appreciate your time to respond.

I may have found one option, the bipodext. Kinda cumbersome, but it does what I want it to.

Damn, those are expensive!!!

Well, I got an LMT, so I guess I might as well spend top dollar to customize it as well.

I guess if your just using it as a bench gun that would do what you want.

I've watched quite a few reviews on it and it's quite easy to install and remove, so I could carry it with me pretty easy. Tiborasaurus Rex raves about it. This rifle is for mountain hunting/defense, so I need to hold steady as I look across ridges and into valleys. With uncertain positioning, I think the bipodext could be useful.

Tibo Rex?? M'kay...

So LMT did do a extended rail For some of our troops who requested it over seas in the desert a few years back. I believe only less then 20 were sent to these guys.

Could make your own for under $100

Dang, I don't have the pull that a military unit would sadly.

So find a cantilever picatinny riser, turn it upside down and clamp it to the 6 o'clock rail. This one won't give the 4" you're looking for but it's the least shitty looking: https://www.brownells.com/optics-mo...ark-1-ims-integral-riser-mount-prod42910.aspx

Find a machinist to mill out the bottom of the rail for MLok and put an ARCA rail on it. Seems like a lot either way

Just put the bipod close to where you’d put the foregrip. Then use the leg in in the deployed position as your foregrip. Exact same thing.
