atlas bipod question--- adding q.d. to clamp

[B.Bates]

I have a standard atlas bipod with the 2 screw clamp on style.

can i add or replace this with a quick disconnect mount option or would i have to get a different atlas model.


thanks

Different Atlas model, unless Kasey can do a swap of some sort for you on the heads. I was looking at mine and it appears that is the way it works.

The Clamp version is as it is.

The No Clamp version appears that it can have the ADM QD added to it.

It's a good way to go if you can't find one, but I netted out ahead by buying new one and selling my old clamp on.

I have a standard atlas bipod with the 2 screw clamp on style too. Do you think this would work?

I was thinking about trying this out. Let me know what you think.

Nails, that should work, as long as you're not concerned about the added height of that riser.

Why do you want QD clamp? I screwed my Atlas bipod on and added some Loctite. I don't see an advantage to quickly changing or moving bipod in the field, this only adds to possibly problems of losing it, loose parts, etc. If you want to switch from different rifles then do it at home with tools. Plus moving the bipod to different rifles etc, just causes variations and unnecessary equipment wear, buy a different bipod for your different rifles. Just my thoughts, but to each their own.

Here another one. This one I'm sure is better quality.
