[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 159526, member: 10"] Nothing to add on the bipod but wanted to mention if you have not made the V-block already, you really probably do not need one if you can get a solid pillar bedding system for the AR-50 receiver. I have a 35" 1.750" straight cylinder barrel hanging off mine at the moment and when I machined the brake I bored and threaded the stainless bar stock that was 15" in length and screwed it onto the barrel which made for 50" if 1.750" straight cylinder barrel. The barrel did not squat a bit in the stock. I am using the factory aluminum stock however. Still, that reciever is stiff as hell. If you put a V-Block under the reciever it should work just as well and float the barrel. Just suggestion. I have heard of problems using a V-Block or barrel block over 9" inlength. From what I have heard it comes from the expansion of the barrel as it heats. Does not seem to be an issue with blocks under 9" inlength however. Keep us posted with your results, very interesting project. Get us some pics!!! I have been looking for a new stock for my 510 AM on the AR-50. Can you get me more information on the stock you are using? Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
