Gunsmithing Atlas Bipod Question

[Reformedcitykid]

Hi all, does anyone know of an aftermarket adapter to connect an Atlas BT-10 V8 to an ADM-170-S QD lever without sending the bipod back to Atlas for retrofit? Thanks!

 

[Part Timer]

To attach an QD lever to the bipod? Unless I’m missing something, the ADM QD lever is plug and play and you won’t need an adapter. Should just be two screws.

Yeah.....its a 17S hole pattern which, while its become somewhat defacto, was published by ADM and is used widely.

Are we misunderstanding something here?

Unless I’m missing something

He has this model, not one set up for the ADM-170 adapter:

I would say the most expeditious route to take is a get an ADM QD low riser and mount this to it, use threadlocker on the screws, and make it semi-permanent.

ETA: After reading the FAQ's on the Accu Shot website pertaining to this issue, sending it back to them to have the conversion done doesn't seem like too bad a deal. It sounds like they'll straight up exchange it or convert yours for a nominal fee, less than the cost of the AD-170 mount.
