Does anyone have any idea how to remove the Parker Hale bipod spigot from an SSG-08? The original Parker Hale is way too heavy and unstable. The Versapod knock-offs are cheaply made. It seems like it should be removable with tools. I would rather do that, than hacking off the spigot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
