Nice mod that ST came up with, but I have to say, for some reason being lower and away from the block it just looks more prone to snapping off at the neck connection. Just my eyes is all. Maybe it’s the recent topics of bottles snapping off of guns I’ve been reading about lately.
Another opinion of mine and mine only, I think the aftermarket coming out with sleeves attaching to bottles to give one a bipod mount wasn’t a good idea. I’ve seen guys really apply that forward down pressure on bipods and common sense tells me that can’t be good for a bipod mounted on a bottle. Sometimes I wonder that during design, the bipod connection is last on the list and not much thought goes into that as the gun is being rushed out the door for sales demand. Thank goodness the aftermarket, folks like Saber Tactical and K&L, were able to design bipod support that looks like it came on the gun.
