Got this off a FB AR page....
The poster wants to mount a bipod on a standard non-free float AR-15 carbine length. Aside from the usual "Why the F would you want to do that..." and other douche comments, a discussion came up about barrel harmonics and mounting the bipod towards the front of the handguard would not have an effect due to the handguard not exerting enough pressure on the "thin" end cap to cause an issue.
I am pretty sure this is going to have an effect however minimal compared to mounting the bipod to the barrel directly, but wanted to throw it out there. The guy came off as a tool, but hey, always willing to learn.
Q
P.S. all my stuff is free floated so no real dog in the fight, just throwing it out for debate.
