Happy New Year, y’all!
I am pretty confident I am missing something simple here but:
For any of you who have mounted a “pic-rail” type-attached bipod on your “standard” 15-22 fore end (the one that appears to be MLOK); what Mount did you use to convert that standard 15-22 “MLOK” to a pic rail?
I ask as this evening I tried and tried but simply could not get the locking “tabs” on my mlock - to - pic-rail mounts to stop spinning, inside the 15-22 polymer forend …
In other words, no matter what I tried, there didn’t seem to be anything for those tabs to “grab onto” or “lock” into … inside that polymer forend. (In fact, more than once, I removed the mount and noticed plastic under the MLOK locking tabs, telling me alls that happening is those metal tabs are simply gouging the inside of the polymer fore-end …
And, it doesn’t appear there is anyway to “get inside” the 15-22 fore-end (appears to be one, integral piece; can’t “halve” the 15-22 fore-end like a center fire fore-end and hold the locking tabs with a pair of pliers while tightening down the Allen screw …
Pretty close to thinking I was losing it, I grabbed an actual (center fire) AR with a fore-end with openings which appeared identical to the granddaughter’s 15-22 and those tabs locked right into the inside of the aluminum center fire AR’s fore-end …
Granddaughter is positively apey over her 15-22 and asked for a bipod for Christmas which she got (one that attaches to a pic rail) … I would simply order her up one that attaches directly to MLOK forends except I anticipate I am still going to encounter the problem with the metal tabs of the MLOK device not “grabbing” and “locking” onto the inside of the polymer forend …
Thanks in advance for any assist!
