Magpul bipod. M-LOK vs picatinny

Just got a YouTube update from Magpul. If this had popped up a few weeks ago I would have waited.

Get a short picatinny rail mounted on the hand guard. Use a Harris bipod with a picatinny rail QD lever mount.

^This right here is probably your best quick on/off solution for the magpul bipod. The "Magpul Bipod for A.R.M.S. 17S Style" with a Midwest Industries 17S QD lever, and an m-lok picatinny section on the rail should work great. The MI QD lever is the only one that I've used that actually clamps down tight, and can be removed easily with finger pressure. Other QD levers take way too much lever to release easily.

The only other true QD option would be to get the picatinny version bipod and attack it to a Kinect M-lok QD rail. Having played with the Kinect, it seems like it is designed to work best on rails with a wide flat area around the M-lok slot, such as the Geissele SMR type rails. It didn't fit so well on my ALG EMR, or a couple other slim rails.

I’ve been looking at the Magpul bipods, I may go with the one for sling studs. Thanks for the info

^ ^ ^ ^ This. get the Magpul bipod that is the ARMS version, then get the American Defense Mfg AD-170-S QD base (or anybody else's "170S" base, S for "short"). then attach the Magpul bipod to the AD QD adapter, and voila: QD to your 5-slot pic rail section. and you can switch it to others guns rails that have the short pic rail segment.

ETA:
or the Midwest Industries equivalent, as mentioned a couple posts above.

Personally I'll echo what others have stated, my choice is MAG951 Magpul® Bipod for A.R.M.S.® 17S Style, coupled with the BTC-Pro Clamp as it is designed for both the Nato Picatinny Standard and the RRS 1.5" Dovetail Standard. I can use the same on my carbines with Picatinny rail sections and my bolt gun with an ARCA adapter.

I was ready to order an M-LOK rail with the stud that allows mounting of a Harris bipod--then I discovered that it's aluminum.

Is it advisable to have an aluminum bipod mount? I'd think that stud would wear quickly.
