Socom 16 OD synthetic stock owner. Adapter works well and fast shipping. Had to use a Dremel tool to shave down the stock as the metal protruded too much, causing pressure on the gas block when reassembling the stock. Fixed in 2 minutes, now works perfectly. Note that not all stocks are alike, so modification may not be necessary.

Bought for a Springfield M1A composite stock. Fits well through the water drain hole and has a recess in the interior of the stock. Slight contact with gas tube noted, but tilt test shows easy piston movement. May need slight grinding for no contact. 4 stars only due to lack of shooting experience. Concern about stock cracking from recoil. Expensive for a small nut and bolt.

The M1A bipod mount functions well. Although it's intended for use with walnut/wood stocks, it also works with synthetic stocks. To secure it, use an Allen wrench to tighten it tightly. On synthetic stocks, this will create indentations for a secure fit (DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN ON WOOD TO AVOID DAMAGE/CRACKS). If the screw is too long, as some reviews suggest, use a washer or file it down. Ensure there's no contact with the operating rod by marking it and checking with a tilt test. Good for wood, works on synthetic stocks with the possibility of small indentations.

The m1a bipod mount fits MLOK rails and stays securely in place with the MLOK track. A washer/shim can be added for extra hold. Installed on a Harris Bipod, it made it flush with the rail and eliminated the need for other MLOK adapters. Well-made and versatile, we'll be purchasing more. Excellent quality and various applications.

Installing it securely while maintaining proper alignment can be finicky, but once done, it works flawlessly. A bipod won't loosen after shooting. Highly recommended. Just be cautious during installation, as the wooden stock in that area is delicate and could break if over-forced.

a simple device to facilitate bipod attachment to an M1A

I bought it for a friend, and it quickly installed on his Springfield Amory M1A. This small part needed no modification of the synthetic stock that came with the firearm and allowed him to add a bipod to the rifle.

Purchased this for my Springfield M1A composite stock. It fits easily through the water drain hole, and it seems that in my Springfield stock, there is a recess for it on the interior of the stock. I saw a very slight contact with the gas tube so I did the tilt test and my gas piston still slides easily back and forth. I may lightly grind a bit off the top of the adapter, so there is no connection at all. I'm only giving four stars since I haven't shot with it yet. I'm hoping the stock doesn't crack at the point of attachment due to recoil as someone else mentioned, it's pretty expensive for a tiny nut and bolt.

Very good online shopping experience.

Got my bipod adapter in the mail and it took under a minute to install.I would suggest anybody with an M1A/M14 get this for their rifle

My M1A has a composite stock. The stud was rubbing the bottom of the gas cylinder some filing was required on the threaded stud less than 2cm.It works as advertised. I have done some more research about why the hole is in the bottom of the stock some say it is to vent gases or moisture. I have had some second thoughts about mounting a bipod like that. I think a rail that mounts over the front OEM sling swivel would be better.

Just recently brought a M1A bipod adaptor and not only was the shipping lightning fast but I love the product. Super easy to install.
