Howdy, would any of you be kind enough to post pics of your KRG Bravo or other KRG chassis with a spigot installed and state the barrel length please?
Thank you, I appreciate it!

KRG Spigot and Barrel Length pics
- Thread starter Brazo
- Start date
Tikka with a 20" CTR barrel, regular spigot and direct mounted Harris, Area 419 Sidewinder brake
Tikka with 26" heavy palma barrel, silencer co brake, same chassis
This thread is a few months old, but I would like to know if there is really a benefit to a spigot. I handled one and it seemed to add flex to the forend.
Was the forend flexing or the barrel? Lots of guys mistake the two when they squeeze them together. It’s an illusion unless the stock is made of flimsy plastic like some are.
You could be right I don’t have a bravo to check. They are a budget stock. I’ll take your word. You would be surprised at how much a barrel that thick will bend considering it’s attached by a couple of inches at the very end at most.Definitely the Bravo forend, M24 barrel is pretty stiff
The spigot buys you some much needed real estate along the forend for bags/obstacles/props and let's you get the bipod further out there to lower one's center of gravity for prone/bench shooting. It shouldn't/doesn't add any flex is it's mounted correctly. I mean, unless one is purposely trying to make it flex of course... I'm a pretty large mammal and I sometimes load the crap out of the bipod and it's fine. There's a newer spigot XL out that is twice as long as the usual ones, not sure about that one.
26" MTU - spigot minimalist
This flex thing makes me chuckle a little. I can flex just about every rifle/chassis out there when it's on a bipod both vertically and torsionally. There is no way that this kind of flex would affect your shooting. Unless you shoot while wrenching on the front of the barrel of course.
Someone will say, well Velayo said he torqued his KRG forend while resting on a rock so I need the enclosed forent and 75lbs of weights added. Sure you do.
I don't know of this exists but an NVD cap that unifies the chassis with the Spigot would add torsional stiffness for those that believe they need more.
If I didn't need ARCA for PRS, it'd be my preferred bipod system. I liked it a lot.
guys, does the minimalist provide more room , to not have to worry about barrel profile?
with the regular spigot, is barrel profile something to worry about to avoid barrel contact?

Your barrel would need to have a reverse taper for it to make contact with the spigot, regardless of its length.
No, I had a regular spigot with a comp contour barrel for a while, and never had issues with clearance. The spigot maintains the same clearance the rest of the chassis does
Thanks for the reply
I'm thinking of running an XL since I have a enclosed forend, I know that thing is long
You'll have to do some machining to put a spigot on a enclosed fore-end. Some guy on here did it, but it does require some work
That is a heavy Palma barrel and that has plenty of room. I also tested fitted it with a MTU and that cleared but it was tight. However I do need to remove the NVG bridge to swap barrels.
16” barrel.
Harris folds up narrower which works better for this guns role.

I have a 16" 20" barrel and have been kicking around the idea of getting a spigot mount... is there that much benefit to moving the bipod to a spigot mount with a 16" 20" barrel?

There is a benefit of moving the bipod to a spigot and closer to the bore regardless of barrel length.
