Thread: Harris Swivel Bipod swivelling too freely

Just got some pliers on it, snapped the bolt and everything fell to bits. I think the little internal nut was too tight but I couldn't loosen it off, I sure hope there's a replacement bolt available.

Told ya you didn't listen !

Failing all else, an engineer can drill out for you. All is not lost!

Buy a Harris they said, never regret buying quality they said.

Hindsight is 20/20 eh! It's really annoying, I don't get to shoot often and have organised one for tomorrow and was hoping to get everything set up before my trip in a couple weeks. Bad luck me.

Got a welder

I might look out for a podlock but that's me done with bipods from here on in - lucky it's only on the .22 and the damn thing can stay there

It's an insult to the functionality of a machine when you have to buy the aftermarket fix-up as well just to make it perform the way it is meant to.

I certainly won't be touching another Harris again

With hindsight....it might have been better to return it to ur supplier, pulled the warranty and or fit for purpose clause. Unless u bought it second hand, then its caveat emptor. A friendly engineer could surely sort it before ur trip unless u want only original parts. ......

Might send it down to you then!

I have to agree with that, why they aren't OEM issue is beyond me. I'm sure I'm not the first person to wreck one, I am definitely disappointed with how t started though. I will update with how getting it fixed up goes.

You're right SiB. Unfortunately their hours aren't exactly convenient for me. Definitely my fault it's in pieces and I don't expect to be looked after warranty wise, but the fact it didn't work like it said on the packet has left me with a sour taste.

Cable ties have held bits of my cars together for years and held it together for a few hours today which was mint!

If ya can't fix to me, I'll fix it for you, no charge

If it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid

All sorted! New bolt was $4 from the shop, happy days.

Like the bits available for a Ruger 10/22.
