Since we’re talking bipods… what is the ring on the left side of plum colored piece for? Always wondered that since the sling mounting is below.

Have you seen a sling with it's hooks? They hook into those. The other hooks into a loop on the butt.Originally Posted by hatrick

Doesn’t the sling hook attach to the lower ring? That’s where I’ve always attached mine.
Heat-treated alloy steels are prone to this "purple" caper..
Something to do with the surface crystal structure. The "purple / crimson"' is a"ceramic" skin; hard and with a structure that , like traditional "blue / brown", holds oil to prevent corrosion.
If you GENTLY grit-blast the offending colour away and re-blue (proper hot-bath or slow steam chamber, it will turn a nice "matte" black.
You see components of various "Eastern Bloc" firearms that sport this colouration. It does the job. These are tools of the "trade", NOT "fashion models.".
