Universal Rifle Bipod (Review)


Universal Rifle Bipod by Tworld (Review)

When handling the bipod for the first time, it instantly feels insecure. The shoulder joints where the legs mount to the rifle mount are loose. The rifle mount itself will fit either picatinny or weaver style mounts but is way too small. It is roughly 1/3 the size of other inexpensive bipods that are effective.

When mounted to a rifle, the mount does not give a positive feel. It is hand tighten only and cannot get tight enough to be supportive. The release mechanism to draw the legs down under the rifle is stiff and noisy and does not give a positive grab. When the legs are rotated down, they still rotate slightly and flex greatly, disallowing a positive shot.

The height adjustment is a challenge: you have to unscrew a tension thread, and then pull on the foot to get the spring to release, as it will not release on its own despite heavy oil from the factory. Putting the legs away is more difficult than getting them out.

I have never seen a bipod in this condition before. I would not put this on a BB gun, let alone my rifle. I really hope the one I received was just a lemon, and not all customers are being sent ones like this. Very disappointing.

Active Shooters & Terrorists

Unfortunately in this day and age, the topic of active shooters and terrorists are something we must acknowledge and be prepared to deal with. Do you know what you would do if faced with this threat in your immediate presence? You can't just think about it. Talk about it with your family. Practice in your home, in your back yard, etc (not with loaded weapons, please), and do it frequently. Just like with firearms training, your response must be second nature.

The article I am attaching is pretty well-written. Ignore the grammar issues, keeping in mind it is written by an ex-British soldier who also has more than 20 years in the field of international security so writing is not his expertise.

Read it carefully. Leave comments, questions, concerns, and we will be glad to discuss them.
