Good Evening All,

I have recently purchased a T-Gewehr and we are having discussions on the bipod that came with the rifle. From the descriptions above, my bipod is the "Expedient" version with a more recently applied heavy coat of green paint. We do need the measurements of the bipod base on a MG08/15. The group is not sure if the bipods for the 08/15 are truly direct fits. A good set of measurements would help our discussion. Thanks, Randy

The 08/15 bipod will fit and was used on many T gewehrs.
The other more commonly used bipod had a wider stance, tublar legs and larger feet.
The feet were almost cupped, and I assume to compensate for the mud in the battle field where the 08/15 would be used in a more static position.
Just my call on it having had both types of bipods.
If you need pictures and measurements of an 08/15 bipod just PM me and I will see what I can do for you
cheers,

I am looking for a heavy tubular steel bipod, for an 08/15 but yes these were stronger and designed for the ATNK rifle. Some images. Mark
