M1A bipod question

[5thstreet@sbcglobal.net]

Just for those of you who love to say use the search button instead of answering the question I already did that and posted on a thread but got no response. I was wondering if i could use a harris bipod on my m1a loaded by using the existing sling mount or does it have to back to SA for them to install it?

If you send it to SA, do you need to send the ENTIRE rifle or just the stock sans parts?

But putting a harris bipod to your M1A is really not that difficult.

M1A bipod

Here's mine. If you like it! get the parts and I will install for you for $30.

I bought an adapter that attaches to the sling swivel through the stock (sorry forgot the name, either versapod or ARMS brand?), and then I was able to mount the Harris bipod easily.

And I should add that at the time I had literally no experience with firearms parts, and it went smoothly.

Save yourself some time and money by researching a bit and then doing it yourself.

I installed one of these for a friend. It took me about 30 minutes and I was going slow. Seems sturdy and it looks good. All you have to do is remove the existing sling mount and bolt this on. Piece of cake.

I have a scout with the synthetic stock so I guess it made it easy by having the hole predrilled for the adapter, but none of these bi-pod installs are hard at all.
