Title: Bipod for a FX12
Post by: larryb227 on November 15, 2012, 08:53:30 AM
Thought I better check first before buying a bipod for a FX12 ST. There isn't much barrel to attached to and I don't know if attaching to the shroud is recommended. Hate to attached to the stock although is that could be done elegantly I might.
Appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks

This is the one i was looking at.

I would go with the air tube clamp that FX sells http://www.fxairguns.com/2011/09/tube-clamp/ (http://www.fxairguns.com/2011/09/tube-clamp/)  Then you could use what ever Bi-pod  you like.

Grumpy,
How don't see how this clamp is going to adapt to a bipod. I've looked at several bipods and can't see the attachment part well enough to determine if it will fit or not.
The clamp lends itself to a sling I can see that but from there confused. I also see where the thing clamps to the air tube.
Anyway to enlighten me?
Thanks

Any Bipod that attaches to a standard sling swivel stud, like a Harris or Harris clone, should fit on that FX Airtube clamp adapter. There are a variety of bipods out there that attach to the rifle this way, so you should have a fairly good selection to choose from.

Thanks Andrew.
I see that you have a FT 12 Whisper, how do you like it?

I love my Whisper, it is truly a great rifle and has a lot to offer.
