Not only do I not know what adapter to order, I need suggestions on which Harris Bipod would serve me best.

For what need you ask?

Target practice mostly.

(I do know I want one that is quickly detachable)

Oh, I did a search until my eyes ached and read lots of threads regarding bipod adapters, Harris Bipods and LE6920's, but none contained the info I need.

Thanks!

P.S. I did read that some think the Larue mount/adapter better than Harris's - even for a Harris Bipod, which puzzles me...?

Can't go wrong with either of those two. Larue makes their own parts for the Harris that eliminate the sling stud parts/brackets. End result is much nicer and you get QD. The Atlas is a little harder to deploy but is more versatile and lower profile when collapsed (and you can put the legs towards the front or rear).

You will need a piece of picatinny for both. Not sure what rail/handguard your rifle has.

IIRC It's a MOE handguard we're speaking of right? I just mount the $8 MOE rail to the bottom of the handguard and slide the GG&G on right there. For serious target shooting, use a bag.. JMO

Thanks for the help guys.

In further researching, some say putting a bipod on a standard rail isn't smart - you should mount a bipod on a free floating rail only.

I don't care to go to the trouble and extra expense in order to do that, though truthfully I don't know if the free floating rail approach is an absolute. If it is, then so be it, I'll live without a bipod.

What say you?

And again, thanks.

A bipod on a non-floated rail is fine, as long as the load on the weapon is consistent. In other words, if it's just a matter of resting on the bipod, and you aren't also death-gripping the rail or twisting the crap out of a sling, the harmonics will be consistent and it will be repeatable with a given load.

I agree with koko. This is very simple to do and a 2-3$ rail piece to attach is cake. I don't use a bag myself because i do prefer the bipod.

While it can be done with a cheap rail, it's not going to be great for accuracy. And really, a bipod isn't very practical for a carbine like the 6920.

As far as Harris models, I like. 6-9 BRM-S and add a KMW pod loc.

Bipod on a 6920 is like putting a rear spoiler on a pick up truck.

Use the magazine as a monopod...

Gentlemen, thanks to you all.

Good advice all around.

At this point, I'm dropping the bipod idea, for the reasons stated above, plus I'd have to abandon the VFG to accommodate a bipod and I don't want to do that. Yeah, I could swap them out as needed, but that's to big a PIA for me.
