AP Custom bipod stud

[Trumpet]

Ok, so I got a great price on a 15" AP custom handguard.  However, I need a bipod stud for it.  Anyone know where I can get one, or a different one that would work?

[jtallen83]

Is it threaded? If so what is the thread pattern ?

[shepp]

I would assume brownells would have something?

 There are many ways to attach a Sling Swivel Stud , if thats what you are referring to . Need to see what you have , I assume you have an Areo Precision HG .

If it's M-LOK compatible, just get the one from MagPul.  It's aluminum, stout, and works great.

PRetty sure it's not Mlok compatible

This looks pretty close to M-LOK slots, right here.  Maybe call the tube manufacturer...

Oooo...carbon...aarrrgghhh!

 Looks like no slots on the bottom of the HG to put anything ,MLOk or other wise . Needs to be drilled out & a custom or universal stud can be used . The one in your post should work , though I personally would like to see a wider foot print on the backing plate . Never heard of this AP Custom co..

.

Also , do you have a pre 2009 rail height on your Upper receiver ( High ) , Because your rail height on that HG will not match up with a Low , post 2009 DPMS rail height .

There are slots in the 6 o'clock position.  The AP stud is nowhere to be found as the co. went tits up.  They made very good stuff though,  popular with the 3-gun crowd. I think what killed them was it was too much of a niche market combined with their prices...

I emailed Lancer to see if their bipod stud would work.  It looks almost identical, and they make great stuff too.

 

Its going on an Aero M5 upper.

[unforgiven]

Aero is good stuff. Just sayin....

See if any of these will work  http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=sling+swivel+studs&ksubmit=y

I don't know this company, but this is the style I buy and modify to work.

  That looks like it will work , I like the large backing plate & one for the outside of the HG also .It would be nice if they had one concave for the round  HG. I'm sure the Plates could be modified .

It's the same style the mil originally used on the old CAR handguards. At one point I had 5 or 6 of them laying around. The steel is soft enough to work with yet still do its job well. I have this exact stud on my .308 APEX HG.

In case you are puzzled, shitbags at Cheaper Than Dirt used the Sandy Hook shooting as an opportunity to cancel all standing orders on AR and "high-capacity" related magazines, then jack prices up to what you see posted here above on those screen shots.

CTD deserves to go out of business.
