Hello,
I would like to get some solid information about how to make the Atlas PRS bipod perform like new or better. At the moment the knob makes a sound when tightened and this really is not a good thing when moving.
I might be shooting from any level surface to natural surfaces that never are in level. So for my use, I would prefer to switch between very stiff to just stiff with a turn of a knob.
I decided to do this by myself because I live far, far away from Atlas shop and the knob is in loose condition from years of use.
Here is what I know from having already read about this issue and then applied them just few minutes ago:
-The plastic cover is in place by friction and can be just pried off
-The first nut is in left hand treads
-The second nut is in right hand treads
Can somebody tell me:
-What does the first nut do? It looks like I can improve the bipod just by tightening it but it still leaves the knob to be very freely moving and wobbly. So it looks like the washers are too worn out and need replacement or one more added there.
-What does the second nut do? Because it was not tight either and I assumed it was supposed to connect the whole thing to the base. -Just noticed the knob adjusts the second nut.
-Do I oil the washers or not? They were quite oily when I took them apart.
