Product Info for SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M2 M1A Black Bipod

Complete your battle rifle loadout with the Springfield Armory M1A M-2 Bipod. As a faithful, authentic reproduction of the legendary USGI M2 bipod originally fielded with the M14 service rifle, this heavy-duty accessory provides rock-solid front stability for precision and long-range work. 

Built from high-quality steel with a protective black finish, it is designed to withstand rigorous use and harsh field environments while matching the classic aesthetic of your firearm. The bipod attaches directly by clamping around the gas cylinder, delivering a tight, secure fit without the need for additional rails or permanent modifications.

The direct gas cylinder clamp mounting interface is the engineering detail that stands out most. While modern bipods typically require the addition of aftermarket Picatinny, M-LOK, or sling swivel adapters that can alter the rifle's handguard profile, this traditional design anchors directly to the structural gas block. This maintains the original balance and layout of your M1A standard setup while ensuring an incredibly rigid point of contact that will not wobble under heavy recoil. When you need to relocate or move, the collapsible legs quickly fold flat against the stock to minimize bulk and preserve dynamic maneuverability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this bipod fit the M1A SOCOM 16 variant?
  No, this M2 bipod does not fit SOCOM rifles or NY-compliant M1A models due to variations in their modified front gas systems.
• Does installing this accessory require permanent gunsmith modification? 
  No, the bipod features a tool-free clamping design that mounts securely directly onto the gas cylinder without needing to disassemble the firearm or perform permanent alterations.
• Can the bipod legs fold out of the way when traveling?
  Yes, the legs fold flat against the rifle chassis when stowed to keep a low profile and can be rapidly deployed forward when transition to a stable prone position is required.
