M1A owners. What the best bipod option?

Does that go into the wood? Through the drain hole? How does it hold up?
Mine is a fiberglass stock but the process is the same I believe and you don't touch the vent hole.
 

LOVE MINE

I have the same gun as you. I attach this to the lower area and works like a dream.
 
Awesome write up! Thanks for sharing that. Now I’m leaning towards swapping out the walnut stock for a fiberglass one. This way the beautiful walnut stock can stay preserved.
I'm not in love with the fiberglass stock. It tends to get sticky when the gun heats up so I've been thinking of getting a birch/maple stock and going at it again.

If MDT had some balls they'd bring the JAE back to the M1A but NooooOOOOooo
 
Get the Midwest Industries Magpul bipod with their QD mount. Nice to be able to take it off or move it around if you want and the QD is a nice convenience.
 
Harris bipods are really hard to beat. I have a couple of them and they just have never given me a problem. I grabbed few different magpul bipods on sale over the years and they are good, but for the money I’ll just get Harris. If a Harris won’t work for me ARCA with a tripod time.
