Installing a Disjointed Bipod on a Break Barrel Airgun
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2025 11:29 pm
I had installed a disjointed bipod on my Precihole SX100 break barrel airgun, and I wanted to share my experience with fellow DIY airgun enthusiasts. Since traditional bipods don’t work well with break barrels due to the barrel movement, I went with a disjointed bipod setup, allowing stability without interfering with cocking.
Materials Used:
1. Two single-leg or disjointed bipods.
2. Picatinny or Weaver rail
3. Screws for securing the rails
4. Drill and screwdriver
Installation Process:
1. Choosing the Mounting Points:
Since a standard bipod cannot be mounted at the center due to the break barrel action, I decided to install a disjointed bipod on the fore-end of the synthetic stock.
2. Attaching the Rails:
I drilled pilot holes on the stock and mounted a small Picatinny rails on the stock.
Used screws to ensure a solid hold.
3. Mounting the Bipods:
The bipods are attached to the rails by QD screws.
The disjointed setup allows me to cock the barrel without interference while providing a steady shooting platform.
Results & Observations:
Stable shooting position – Works well for prone and bench rest shooting.
Does not obstruct cocking – Unlike a fixed bipod, this setup allows free barrel movement.
Portable & Modular – Can remove one or both bipods when needed.
Extendable - the height can be altered as per need.
This was a fun and practical DIY project that significantly improved the aesthetics and gave a tactical look to my SX100. If you're considering adding a bipod to your break barrel airgun, a disjointed setup is the way to go!
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! Would love to hear how others have tackled this challenge.
