Can't speak to the stock and bi-pod with the configuration you want to put it on, but would WARN you about TROY INDUSTRIES.
I have TROY magazines and several sets of TROY folding sights in both the M-4 and HK designs. Those sights are very well built. But that's about all that is positive that I can say. Just purchased their 45-deg offsets and made the mistake of trying to install the front mount on a (very fine) SLR adjustable gas block and it was way too tight.
Long story but to make it a short story; The [new] sights have three parts, sight block, picatinny mount and a single countersunk screw to put them together. The countersink was off center and tweeked the mount on the rear sight and the front mount had to be relieved with a file to fit the SLR block. No small choir as the anodize is hard as the hubs of hell. Why did I work so hard to get them to fit? Because I needed them now (that's why I ordered them-dammit!). AND, a customer representative told me "there are no parts available for sale as they are produced on a one-for-one basis".
Now that's &%$# GREAT! Should have known better as I was told the same thing about a year ago when wanting to replace the DOA aperture I personally hate (old eyes). The new picatinny mount is a one piece pinch affair that would hard pressed to not bend or break if dropped on it.. $239 MSRP is too much for me for ANYTHING that the manufacturer will not supply parts for.
If'n I were you I'd go with someone like SLR Rifleworks instead of supporting TROY.
Still not convinced.. google, 'troy and vicky weaver' and then tell me how you feel about that? Wish I'd know that tidbit from the get-go..
TROY INDUSTRIES WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER DIME FROM ME
Still curious? Google['troy and vicki weaver']
