Which atlas rail

[theriddler]

I just bought a Ruger Precision Rifle and want to attach a picatinny rail to the handguard for an atlas bipod but not sure which rail to buy. The bt15 or bt17. Than what hardware is good for keymod?

the bt15 and bt17 are very similar but one is for curved and one is for flat mounting. How much does it really matter? Handguard is curved so is the bt15 the only option? Where would I get the mounting hardware since atlas doesn't sell it?

Those rails are really meant for a conventional stock. Keymod rails are a specific thing, designed for that handguard.
Ruger sells one: http://shopruger.com/Keymod-Rail-Section-8-Slots/productinfo/18700/
BCM makes them, lots of others too. Lots of different lengths too, I suggest aluminum, rather than polymer, for bipod use.

I used the rail that was included with the rifle.

Literally just realized it came with its own rail. Little longer than I wanted. Paid 1200 for the tail and got a free rpr so can't complain....wait
