MKII Bipod question

[Peter Laidler]

It's to stop the bipod from totally collapsing when you put it down, not too gently, while advancing or doing a run-down on the ranges. Well, it WOULD be, but yours is back to front!

Its simply that, as Peter says...............collapsing the bipod along the length of the weapon. What else did you want it to do or did you assume it would do??

Thanks for the reply Peter,

Thats what I thought, but, if you just shake it around a little it pushes the lever out of the way easily so I was wondering if something was missing. Could be just a weak spring I guess.

Are you saying the lever on backwards? It has a cup the spring fits into and can only be assembled one way since the lever cant fit in the other leg. It looks like the pictures I have seen of similar bipods but maybe I'm missing something.

Here is a pic of it engaged, it seems correct, just doesnt offer much resistance to being pushed out of the way if you shake it around a little or squeeze the legs together.
