S&T/AGM MG42 Bipod failure!

[rsvpiper]

Saturday some numpty knocked over my lads mg42 snapping the bipod off🙄

Does anyone know of a decent replacement part or fix for this?

I've ordered a complete bipod from a shop in HK £70! 

Don't have much faith that it'll last any better!

i recall having a similar failure, think i tapped through and ran a bolt through, iirc the head of the bolt restricted the amount it could tilt but that just meant it was easier to leave the gun sitting on its own.

 

surplus might be an option, think some of the later/foreign adaptions of the platform would be sufficiently compatible and not have the "ww2 german" tax.

Sadly AGM's are notoriously weak, putting a real bipod on will probably need some work though
