There's always the "old design but still works" Harris bipod.

Non-issue for me... My trusty old Harris would swivel, but in ten years I've never "unlocked" it.
Love MagPul, but it's a different design. The genius of the UTG design is that it mounts to the sides of the forend, rather than the bottom.
Have one. Love it. But I'm looking for something wider/more stable, almost like F-class.
mykdee - you seriously need to drop the attitude. Go read your PM's and ponder any future posts.
Last warning.
And yeah, I liked the concept of this rail when Vltor invented it ten years ago.
Last warning because you are rude and act like a dick.
Goodbye.
Can we go back to the subject now?? I think the biggest weakness of KM and M-LOC are accessories that project a distance from the rail stressing the relatively small fasteners and dogs that secure the. accessory. Vertical grips come to mind. I would think in a situation where the shooter had to move with the bipod deployed the connection wouldn't survive a 3-point landing even if the Leapers bipod did. Remember, the Vltor attached to a quad rail. I am not a bipod user for anything other than sighting in a rifle and I get by fine with a $35 Harris clone.

Yes, please...
Agreed. I honestly don't yet have any experience with M-LOK — I'm shopping for "precision" uppers and thinking of a new/better bipod than my old Harris.
M-LOK doesn't look thaaaat substantial, but I figure if Magpul trusts one M-LOK attachment point at 6 o'clock to mount a bipod, then using one each at 3 and 9 o'clock should be OK.
And I don't even know what a 3-point landing is, but it sounds bad. If it happens, then the $50 bipod will be the least of my concerns.
The Arisaka Defense bipod adaptor for Harris is pretty nice. I attach it to a small section of their picatinny that has three Mlok fasteners. I load the bipod aggressively and I'm pretty confident I could drop the rifle bipod first.
