ADM Harris adapter tilt mod

[rybern]

I recently purchased an ADM Harris bi-pod adapter and quickly realized that it would not allow much left tilt because the mount interferes with the bi-pod. If always shooting off a bench, this will be less important to you. I first removed material from the ADM lever and then ended up also grinding the edge of the Harris. Here are some before and after pics that show what I did. I now have equal range of motion on both sides.

Here is tilting to the right:


Here is tilting to the left before:


Here is tilting to the left after modification:


Here you can see where I ground down the lever to help with this:


Grinding the lever didn't provide the amount of tilt that the other side had. So I also ground down the top edge of the Harris. You can see where I ground in the picture. This provieded an amount of tilt that matches the others side.


All back together. I touched up the bare AL with a sharpie.

AMD makes computer processors. ADM makes firearms and accessories Neat mod though.

Haha. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it.

I think you can install the lever the other way around so you don't get that interference.

Thanks for pointing that out. I recall reading about that somewhere but forgot about that when I got mine. I just looked at mine and if you unscrew the nut all the way and replace the lever 180 degrees, it will in fact work like the pic you posted. "ADMMFG.COM" is upside down when I do that though so I'm not sure the rifle will ever shoot straight. It's odd that the one in that pic is right side up.

Yeah I just flipped my levers around worked great

Another vote for flipping the lever over. That's what I did on mine.

Yep, I agree. I flipped mine over and it seemed odd at first after using mine the other way(modified way). But it also seems easier to release with the lever facing forward because the part that the spring hooks to isn't in the way.
