That was a Tactical Bipod with Automatic Inner Grip that I found on Amazon.com for $16.95 with free shipping. I'm sure it is a knockoff of the Grippods, but I coupdn't afford them. This one works great!.

What the heck is a tactical bipod with an automatic inner grip? Nevermind... it sounds like I need one. I'll press the buy button and wait till it arrives to figure out what it is. #10

Then you can figure out how to mount it on top of your mako foregrip

I don't want to get you in trouble, but since I started with that foregrip on there, I can't even imagine holding the rifle without it. Of everything I bought, it was the cheapest and the BEST.

I like mine too.

I used to have a broomhandle type forgrip and put on a seperate bi-pod for bench shooting. You could bend the legs forward when you werent useing it, but it threw the weight of the gun way off.

I like this option better.

Pro: The grip its self is solid and i like it as a grip alone.

Con: The legs on the bipod dont extend long enough to set the gun down resting on its but with a mag in it.
(edit)....i realize you can with your set up, but i like my grip about an inch further out than you have yours.

Snappy, you must have longer arms than me... My bipod is pretty far back and it sits the gun up high enough to be off the magazine with the legs out.

After shooting, I moved it out about an inch and a half from that picture and it still sits high enough.

I just checked, Mine is right in the middle, with stock all the way back.

It will stand up on its own but the mag hits first and i have to balance it on one of the bp legs.

Its not a huge issue for me. Only good for taking pics or if i have it on display. It takes 10 sec. to move the grip back toward the mag enough to compensate this issue.

Well it did till i added those Larue rail clips.

Yes of course. People only join this forum cuz they know their rifle will blow up multiple times... quite a clairvoyant group.

Plenty of folks have reported how happy they were with the 15-22 to then later have it blow up. Even forum regulars like Chuck reported how well his rifle operated then BOOM.

While I don't have a diagram to illustrate the estimated forward trajectory of 15-22 failure rate, the gravity of the situation should be clear in most everyone's line of sight.

Great, Now i just figured out my bullets line of trajectory and now i got learn its estimated forward trajectory failure rate.

Im screwed

J/K of course as i have that pretty down pat now, New parts didnt hurt either with the earlier issue you helped me with.

As far as the blown ejectors, S&W better get moving on at least making these part available so we can buy a few spares to keep on hand.
I have in no doubt in my mind they will find a fix and have no recall as its not a life threatening issue in their eyes, Unless someone sues them. Then that will speed things up alot.

IMO we have very little room to complain, I say that as this is a first revision of a new gun to the market. Ive yet to see anything that was a new platform ever hit the market and be flawless and not need fixes threw revisions down the line.
That doesn't mean we should suffer either. Just gonna have to be patient.
