    PS - How do you like the Bipod Keymod Bipod Mount ( http://www.impactweaponscomponents.c...-mount-n-slot/ )?
    Regarding a bipod mount, why not make it a single keymod section and place the bipod stud itself over the recoil circle area? It would actually be "keymod" and would ease installation at the expense of price?

    I think the BCM 4in Pic rail has round locking tabs, and no QD hole, so it would not show this issue.

    Price has nothing to do with our design. Simplicity, or just what's needed drove the final product to contain just three pieces.

    Making the kind of mount you're describing (PWS, ODIN WORKS) requires machining a shape (or molding one from polymer) that mates with the KeyMod rail on one side and has a sling swivel stud and flat surfaces and length sufficient to allow the bipod to rest against on the other, then adding two sets of KeyMod fasteners with KeyMod nuts and screws, resulting in a farther from the bore bipod placement and a heavier, more complex, expensive, and intrusive design.

    When all that's required to mount a Harris style Bipod is a sling swivel stud, with the bipod resting on the KeyMod rail itself, creating a design similar to a bolt gun with a conventional stock, like a Rem 700.

    Regarding installation, if you can remove the gas rings on an AR15 Bolt, you can install IWC's BIPOD KeyMod mount.

    Can you remove the mount, leave the fasteners in as they are when it was on the rail, and send me a pic showing a side view?

    I think you need to turn the feet around and reverse the mount to install correctly.

    The tab is supposed to lock up with the forward keymod hole preventing it from being pulled loose backward. The feet are supposed to be forward as well as they slide into the small portion of the keymod hole. You reverse the mount the tab has nothing to lock onto and if you reverse the feet it will not slide into the small portion correctly.

    Unless I'm thinking about it wrong, the tab on the left is actually the recoil lug that fits in the rear portion of the key.

    That's what it looks like to me too.... judging by how the OEM rail sections work at least. The feet point forward and push the stop against the back/big hole in the keymod slot as they tighten up.

    Exactly. With the rail sections, you can't even install one without loosening the feet up quite a bit to allow them to slide foward... and then let the rear tab drop into the back of the key hole.

    That tab is not a recoil tab it is the half moon locking tab Mount is referring to. See silvers pics, it is mounted forward and correctly.

    We designed the mount with a small, half moon locking tab and send the fasteners un-staked & dis-assembled for a reason. Proper install requires the locking tab (same feature on all KeyMod Accessories per Kincel's spec) be inserted in the round hole of the next forward KeyMod slot from the desired KeyMod slot and the hole in our mount will line up with the hole in the KeyMod slot in the install location. Then insert the nuts with the "toes of the boot" facing into the narrow portion of the KeyMod slot and tighten. The QD shaft will penetrate our mount and should go into the round hole of the KeyMod slot and lock in.
