After 2 days of camping
I come home, find my new bi pod waiting on the table, mount it and ended up breaking not ONE... but 2! forearm sling studs of 2 different guns
Needless to say, If your gun has the molded in plastic sling studs, dont mount a bi pod to them!
A real shame, its a kick butt bi pod too.

How about the cheap Z5 Omega? I was going to buy the same one FG did, but I won't if it won't work.

thats what im thinking about doing semi. Maybe even fill in the old area where they had the original "stud" loop and refinish the stock. I never did like those molded in sling swivels.
