Are Picatinny rail bipods worth it?

The picatinny rail bipods are usually better anyways. If you don’t need a bipod, vertical front grip, or any other tacti-cool accessory on the rail, you can slide the rail cover on for a more comfortable front grip. When looking at a stock in this price range, you have to compare it to its peers.

What is the grip on the Pro Mag Archangel M1A?

The grip on the Pro mag Archangel M1A tactical stock is a high angle pistol grip with a nice palm swell. I’m a big fan of pistol gripped stocks, including the one on my TC Encore Pro Hunter, and the pistol grip on the Archangel is pretty close. This also means that it’s going to be difficult for Californians to buy or use this stock. Whereas the JAE looks like it was designed to have as “pistol-ish” a grip as possible while still being legal in CA, the Promag stock does not cater to the poor Californians who’d like to improve their M1A’s. On other aspects of the stock, the cheek rest adjusts up and down via the thumbwheel below it. This is especially handy on the M1A, where a variety of scope mounts and optics options result in a myriad of sighting heights. The scope mount used on this particular rifle is a local Canadian scope mount called the CASM and it results in a pretty high mount for the scope, even with ultra low rings. The cheek rest on the Archangel M1A stock rose to the occasion easily. The length of pull is adjustable in a similar manner, offering an identical hold no matter if you’re wearing a bulky winter jacket, or a summer t-shirt. The click detents on both the LOP and cheekrest height were a bit stiff, but they seemed to hold up just fine. You’ve got a few options for slings on this rifle. The standard sling swivel studs are offered at front and back, but setting up a sling that way might result in a tall mag or pointy bits of the rifle jabbing into your back. A better option is to use either the left or right side quick detach points to attach a sling. They’ll keep the rifle side at your back, and that bulky pointy magazine pointed away. For bipods, you’ll be stuck with the picatinny rail as the front sling swivel stud is at too forward an angle to attach that style of bipod. The picatinny rail bipods are usually better anyways. If you don’t need a bipod, vertical front grip, or any other tacti-cool accessory on the rail, you can slide the rail cover on for a more comfortable front grip.

What is an Archangel M1A?

The Archangel M1A stock is a synthetic stock made mostly of a single type of plastic. It’s a lot nicer of a plastic than that used in the Marlin 795 or Kel-Tek SUB2000 that I reviewed, but it could always use some Hogue style overmoulded rubber in key grip areas.

What rails do Atlas bipods use?

The Atlas bipod shown here requires a 1913 rail in order for it to be attached to a rifle. Accu-shot makes two different Atlas bipod rails, the BT15 and the BT17. Both of these rails are modular, accommodating different spacing of pre-installed QD studs.

What drill do I use to tighten a T-nut?

If you don’t have one, a Forstner drill would work well. The counterbore does an excellent job on the stock. I mix some 5-minute epoxy and apply it to the counterbored hole. This will help secure the T-nut in place. A button head screw is used to tighten the rail to the stock.

How long is a BT17?

The BT17 is 4.00″ long and accommodates hole patterns with 2.20″ to 3.5″ center-to-center spacing. Many rifles come with two QD studs on their fore-ends. If your rifle is always equipped with two QD on the fore-end, simply select the appropriate rail for your spacing, unscrew the studs and screw the rail into place.

Do you need a rail for a bipod?

If you are shooting an AR-15/M16 style rifle with a rail system, this isn’t much of an issue. However, if you are shooting a bolt action rifle with a traditional stock, you’ll need a rail if you want the fancy bipod.
