I have two Harris 6-9's and quite like them. One's on an M4 and the other is on a AICS stocked Remington 700. I highly recommend the aftermarket upgrade for the swivel one that makes the swivel knob easier to use.
Also tried a grip pod copy on my LR9, I got it from last years show. The legs broke first time out but to be fair to seller he replaced it no questions asked. The replacement seems better but I wish I'd saved up for a proper one.

I totally agree on this, it makes a huge difference. We have
KMW Pod-Locs which are £15.00 from March Scopes, much better than most of the various devices made to serve the same purpose.

When I got my Dragunov bipod it was missing the rubber boots for the feet and the spring clip that holds the legs closed so I bought a £30 airsoft version of the Chinese NDM-86 (Chinese made Dragunov in .308) bipod as the parts I was missing are the same.When it arrived it was all steel and actually identical in every way to the actual Chinese military bipod!!!!!.I also bought an "Airsoft" AK-74 style muzzle brake in 7.62 for one of my AK's and that too was solid steel and indentical to a real one right down to the Izhmash Arsenal stamp!!!!.........sometimes I wonder if some stuff on auction sites are listed as "for airsoft" just so they can list them without being pulled up on them.

Is that safe?

I had it checked at work (we have a metallurgy department) before I tried it and it is the same grade of steel as a real Russian 74 brake and dimensionally it is identical except the bore size .It has had hundreds of rounds through it with no problems and I'm almost convinced its an actual Russian brake simply listed as for airsoft so the listing didn't get pulled for selling actual firearms parts

T-62's I think
I remember some "airsoft" AK mags that were listed on Fleabay for sale which said "contact seller for more information"........turned out they were actually 30 round steel mags......so I thought it would be rude not to buy a couple!.

I bought a VersaPod bipod from a member on here, it has taken a bit of getting used to, but for range use I like it a lot, for field use I prefer a Harris clone, as it is less bulky and quieter.

The versa pods are great when you learn to load them
