I buy this bipod to put on ZB26 Airsoft Gun.
The bipod that has this airsoft gun does not have the measurements as the original.

Yes John, They were all DOT manufacture. All of them also had the Izzy Star with a crooked 'Y' in the centre. Property stamps.
Strangely, all weapons also still were fully Waffen Ampt Inspection marked as well.
You would have thought the Israelis would have removed them. As anything connected with the Nazi Regime, might have been a painful reminder of
The German 'Activities' towards the Nation?
A similar situation occurred with the Ex Nazi K98k Rifles as well. The Izzies rebarreled them to 7.62mm, but also left the Nazi Markings intact.
But they also, went to the trouble of Fire Branding '7.62' into the bottom of the Butt Stock area. To indicate the calibre conversion. Paradox?......

Those MG34 with vz26 bipod was made in Zbrojovka Brno ( born place ZB machine guns, Bren, BESA, etc )
Nazis moved production of the MG34 into Zbrojovka Brno in 1941 ( DOT is for Zbrojovka Brno ). Those machine guns with vz26 bipod was short rerun and assembled from stock components which majority was sold to new state of Israel. Czechoslovakia sold to Israel between 1946 and 1947 significant mount of weapons from pistols up to tanks and even fighter planes. One whole division was secretly trained in mountains away from any public eye.

The MG 34 was offered commercially by BRNO after the war because it was a gun they could build and for which they had a good supply of components. Most were sold to the Israelis, but others went elsewhere. Some were code dot45; I have seen at least one, near new, that was unmarked, and obviously came from the factory that way.
The ZB26/30 bipod is actually one of the best ever designed, a far superior unit to the bipod on the German MG 34 or 42. It is very steady, adjustable, spring-loaded, instantly deployed or folded and stays put.
