40x bipod options

[LoneWolfUSMC]

I have a 40X HB on the way. I know this thing has a rail on the bottom, so what do I need to be able to mount a Harris bipod without drilling another hole in the stock?

I have a spare BRM-S on my MkII so I would like to swap this on as soon as the rifle arrives. My plan is to have everything sitting here, so when the rifle arrives I can clean it, install the scope and head to the range.

Re: 40x bipod options

I believe the rail they have is a target handstop type rail and not a 1913 rail. I believe Harris makes a adapter for the target rails but I'll have to double check. If nothing else I would think you could add a sling stud to the wood stock relatively easily.

ETA: Looks like you probably need a HB6A adapter.

Thanks for the offer deadly, but yes, it's a handstop rail not a pic rail. I just don't know anything abotu the target type rails so I don't know if there is a "standard" or if it's an individual manufacturer thing.

I don't want to do any drilling on the stock unless it's FUBAR just in case there is any value to it.

LW, I have the same problem. My 40X sits in a centerfire CMP stock and has the Freeland rail installed in it. Sinclairs sells a harris bipod stud adaptor for it. I think its about 12 bucks or so. I just need to get off my butt and order one.

Kasey also has the rails for it for an ATLAS bipod

That's all well and good, but I already have a BRM-S and I don't really see a need to put an Atlas on the trainer when I don't have one yet for the 700 or the AR10.

Hence the reason for asking how to attach the Harris to the 40x.

I just thumbed through the Sinclair catalog. I think I will probably go with one of their delux adapters if I stay with the wood stock.

Re: 40x bipod options

Harris makes all forms of adapters
If it is the older short rail you can just mod one up.
I think I used one for a AR tube - just had to file it
to a snug fit inside the rail.

Re: 40x bipod options

Harris makes a slide in adapter. Tightens with a set screw, it works very well. I have one on a 40X and Baker stock.

Buy it slide it on, tighten it and forget it.

Good luck
