Bipod adapter for 400/500 cc bottles!

I have pm'd and texted one of the members here (Mark_Walt) about a bipod adapter for my FX Royale. We discussed measurements and clearances and he managed to fabricate this one with a 3d printer. It has a relief cut through the center to allow for an easy slide onto the bottle, but is still a very snug fit once the bipod is installed and tightened. This was made initially for my FX Royale 500, but as you can see, I have it right now on my Air Wolf. As I have just received it, I cannot attest to it's long term durability. What I can say is it is a well engineered and quality piece of equipment. With any product, I think it's safe to say, certain things "should" be treated a bit delicately.

Mark_Walt was a pleasure to deal with and I know, if you need anything like this made, he can get you sorted out.

I think there is a market for them. I would buy a couple for my rifles. I really like how the bipod clamp locks it in place. Of course I would like a carbon fiber bottle style.
One problem with carbon bottle is that it is very close to the barrel. I made this type of picatinny rail for my Royale (pic above). I did have heat shrink around the clamp but it came in contact with my barrel.
