I have bought a bipod recently and when attaching to my rifle I could not get the screw supplied to grab in the sling swivel whole why is this???
The below pictures are of the bipod with its supplied screw and the swivel sling screw and the hole SORRY ABOUT THE DODGY PHOTOS PHONE CAMERA.



cheers

they look like a wood screw compared to a metal screw.. need to match them..

But it is goiing into wood isn't it??

cheers

That one you have poking out of the bipod is a metal screw. You need the wood screw that is attached to the sling swivel. Take the sling attachment off the stud and screw the stud back in, then attach the bipod. That should do it.

OK thanks I will try that.

cheers

Tried that but the stud wont fir through the whole. ????

you may have to remove the metal insert out from the timber and replace one with correct thread pitch

The bottom of the bipod looks wrong its not a harris is it, if it is it should have a clasp arrangement like 2 steel prongs with knobs on them and they attach to the sling swivel stud. You need to seperate the screw part of the sling swivel then screw the wood screw back in then the bipod clasp will hold onto the flat side of the wood screw Can you post a phot of the underside of the bipod.

It is not a harris it is just a cheap one I got to try. I will post a poper pic of it soon.

cheers

not from dealextreme? If so you should have read the reviews........

presume the gun came with sling swivel studs installed?... and you've got detachable sling swivel's?... or is that swivel fixed to the woodscrew?

Bipod's attach usually direct to the stud after removal of the detachable swivel.

Some older rifle's may have fixed type swivels which you can replace with seperate stud & detachable swivel.

Yeah from deals extreme.lol
Yeah it has a detachable swivel.

cheers

Not to worry I have fixed the problem I have found a screw that fits perfectly.

cheers

Here's a pic of the finished product. The mount on the scope will hold a torch from Deals Extreme as well. I thought I would test some of there products out. Cheers

Very nice Sir Hunt, glad it all came together for you.
