Re: Want atlas bipod
Kasey
It was just one small frustration I had with the legs. I also had to keep tightening the tension screw about every 50 rds as it kept getting loose. Its a nice looking bipod but I found it frustrating in those two areas.
If you could solve the leg deployment issue and tension knob getting loose you have the perfect product.
If you do not have the designer to do that I just worked with a kid that designs robotics that is smart as a whip and I could send you his contact info. He drafted a part for me and it is exactly what I asked for.
Atlas
Pros:
Light
Aesthetics
Cons:
Leg deployment (must remember to not put pressure on legs when trying to push button and need to look at opposite side to find button)
Tension knob working loose all the time

problemchild - I like the bipod but its very difficult to get the legs down unlike the harris which takes .005 seconds. I gave the bipod to my wife and bought a harris.
<span style="font-weight: bold">This is an honest and fair observation.
BUT what I don't get is the idea that folding the legs down is the sum total of using a bipod? </span>
Is there any consideration for the time it takes to actually using the bipod once the legs are deployed?
Here is a customer (SH member gubicia) demonstrating how fast he can deploy the Atlas legs -
LEG DEPLOYMENT look at bottom of page "Atlas in Action" second one down.
900inch - Frankly I was challenged by the cost when we introduced it and kept the retail as low as we could and still make business sense. To date we have never had any on the shelf. In addition, we have continued to improve the design while absorbing the cost.
I would never make such a comparison between a barrel and the Atlas, but for clarity, I think we are just shy of 50 parts to a BT10, the 4 o-rings are off the shelf, everything else is machined and made to our specifications.
MaximumVelocity - more stable? How so? </div></div>
