Finally got around to digging out bipods for my PA10 with M Lok and every couple shots the bipods gets loose.
Normally bipods not only contact the stud but the pads on both sides contact the stock (wood forearms) but the M LOK taper is different and the pads are 1/8" off the M LOK. It was so bad that I could actually shoot smaller groups off nothing but sand bags ! ! !
I am now thinking of how I am going to get padding in between and so far have not figured out what to use as hard sheet rubber doesn't exist that I have ever seen available. I figure I need about 1/4" hard sheet rubber or plastic like material is the way to go.
Anybody else ever run into this problem?
The closest thing I can think of is getting rubber like belting. I figure 5/8" wide, length of bipod pads in length and 1/4" thick.
OH yes another thing I got a bipod mount off ebay for the M Lok bipod AND IT DID NOT FIT ! ! ! !
The little protrusions (3) that are oblong that insert into the M LOK key slots (3) are about .010 TOO WIDE ON EACH SIDE ! ! ! I wound up having to chuck the adaptor up in my mill and took a keyway cutter mill and took off both sides and I could not have asked for a better fit as it not only fit but was snug going in. Thus be careful of the bipod/sling adapters MADE IN CHINA ! ! ! ! Unless you have a mill or a buddy with one. Going to a machine shop will probaby cost you 25.00 to get a 10.00 adaptor to fit.
