So my unit just got the M27 IAR's (Modified HK M416) in last week and the only fault that has been found is what uncle sam decided was an adequate bi-pod, the Harris S. Now its a good bi-pod but for an automatic weapon that is being used by guys trained on M249s its just not durable enough. The sand will get into the locking mechanism on the legs and jam them up so that they can't be adjusted for height and with just using them a week we have 6 bi-pods with bent or completely broken legs. I'm looking for a heavy duty bi-pod that will attach to a picatinny rail. It needs to be able to withstand a 215lbs man slamming the weapon in the ground with a full combat load (front, back and side sapi's, 800 rounds (with mags for all of that), water and chow). I'm essentially looking for a SAW bi-pod that will attach to the rail systems instead of the gas tube.
If that can't be had than anything that is more durable and will last longer works for me. I definitely want to get them as soon as possible so the guys in my squad have them before we go to country.
