Sorry about the crap video quality. I wanted to get this out there so everyone can see whats going on.
It was between 40-45 degrees outside. I shot 10 shots and the bipods fell apart. This piece just crumbled. I leaned into it to take a shot, took the shot, was still leaning into the bipods and it started to fall forward. I picked up the rifle thinking the knob was loose. When i started looking at the bipod i fell off my rifle and i had to pick up the pieces.
I shoot an AAC-SD and have only shot 200 rounds since i purchased this bipod. I followed this instructions on setting up the bipod as well.
On thing i noticed is that they say its machined aluminum or steel on stocky stocks website yet this material is very porous.
Here is the video

Im not saying they are bad bipods but if i can get them to replace the piece i am most likely going to buy something else anyway. I personally want something that can handle a bit of abuse and it seems that these cant even handle a bit of cold weather (not montana cold even. Would hate to see what happens in 10 degrees or less lol).
Of course this problem could have been something that has bern an issue with the brand and is no longer a concern. Supposedly some of their parts used to be made in other countries and not most if not all are made in the USA (not saying that made in USA always has the best Quality Control bit i would like to think so).
Has anyone else heard of this happening?
