pod-lock, spigot, and bravo chassis interference

[GSRswapandslow]

I have 2 bravo chassis'd rifles. Both have minimalist spigot mounts with harris bipods in direct mounts. One of the rifles has an actual KMW on it...and the other one of hte cheaper versions.

Both models interfere with the chassis when trying to adjust them....has anyone run into this, or come up with an easy solution short of just buying a CAL?!

Can you post a picture?

I'm running a Bravo with a Whiskey forend. I have my Harris with KMW Podloc mounted on a KRG full spigot with L3 rail using an ADM QD rail adapter. No interference as long as I mount the bipod far enough forward on the spigot. This pic should give you a decent idea of the clearance.

i have the minimalist mount and the direct mount. The holes used to mount it are spaced back more than the mounts for a picatinny mount. If i could use the forward holes, i think it would work without interference.

sorry about not getting pictures, got busy after work.

I ran into this problem last year - this is how I fixed it. Some time with a grinder, touch up paint, flipping the direct mount around, etc.

Dumb question of the day, will the inline mount work backwards or rotated 180? I would think that would push the bipod a little further forward, might not. Might not work at all.

it would force me to mount the bipod backwards that way...so, unfortunately, no it wouldnt work

Take a look at the link to the other thread in post #9 - there is no need to run the bipod backwards if you are willing to modify it slightly.

It is an option to make what you currently have work. However, I will openly admit, I ordered a RRS arca/pic adapter and an Atlas a few weeks after doing this modification on my Harris. The Harris still works perfectly well on a hunting rifle.

Im considering a few options....i do want an excuse to buy a cal though

That did the trick! I cut the first one and then smoothed it...the 2nd i just used a sanding wheel on the dremel until it fit with just enough clearance.

Either way...simple solution and pushes the bipods even further forward!

I'm glad that my little mod could help someone else around here.
