Hey guys,
I have a Harris bipod on a R700 that I’m trying to lock into the fixed, not swivel position. I’ve been messing with the lock down lever, pulling it out turning it, pushing it back in. Repeat. The damn thing won’t seem to lock in the fixed position and I can’t find any instructional video. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Yup get a Pod Loc from KMW. It will allow it to be locked down. The standard way it comes is pretty useless.

Maybe a poor choice of words on my part, but I first purchased from T-Nuts in 2007, and I have seen these used in multiple applications, one being a rotating white board at work. But I do not believe they copied the Pod-Loc, instead, those in the firearm community pulled something from the civilian world and were able to adapt it. I have several of the Metal/Stainless on my Harris bipods, they are solid, Made in Germany, and the price makes it even better. |

No they copied it. Those were adapted to be used on bipods after the Pod Loc by KMW had already been out for a while.
ETA the KMW page showing how Terry started the process in 1999 and they were in production in the early 2000s. I think I have a pic of me using one in 2004. https://www.kmwlrs.com/pod-loc |

Pretty bold to say they copied the design. Do you have any proof to back this up? As mentioned above, I've seen these used in other applications, just so happens they work great on the S Series Harris Bipods as well. They're not ChiCom shite, they're Made In Germany and the quality is there, at a 3rd of the price. |

Lol I’m not taking them to court but I have been around a long time and Terry Cross has been a close personal friend for a couple decades so he designs something and years later another company markets something that looks and acts the same it doesn’t take Judge Judy to figure it out.  |

Just so I understand the above correctly, your friend Terry Cross, designed the "adjustable clamping lever"? I would agree with you if he had taken the "adjustable clamping lever" and refined it, but not the other way round, and again suggesting otherwise is extremely bold.of you. Maybe you should search McMaster-Carr for "adjustable clamping lever"...just a suggestion.. |

Probably best to replace "FACTS" with Opinion, as you have provided nothing more than a one liner in an attempt to prove your case. Until proven otherwise, there is nothing to suggest that Terry Cross designed and built the original "adjustable clamping lever", instead, took something that already existed and refined it for a specific purpose. I give him props for that, but as mentioned a number of times, T-Nuts offer a product at a 1/3 of the price, and I could care less that they market it to be used on bipods, taking advantage of the free market |

Yeah T-Nuts made them first.  And no it's not about who designed the "lever" as neither T-Nuts nor Terry did that but Terry made it for the Harris first and then others copied that so they are knock offs and copied his design. He was the first to see the need and made them making his the original. So get off your high horse and your little word play and just admit you were wrong. If you like you can contact KMW and have him explain it to you. https://www.kmwlrs.com/pod-loc

I was gracious enough to give him props for that, but the "adjustable clamping lever" is available in many configurations, yet as T-Nuts are marketing one of them for the Harris Bi-Pod, according to YOU, they stole Terry Cross's design. I also keep all my emails and that was how I was able to determine exactly when I purchased the first one from T-Nuts. Now, all the time you have wasted on me and your responses, maybe it would serve you well to reach out to Terry Cross and ask him yourself, as you are doing nothing to promote his product, only coming across as pompous. Again, the model sold by T-Nuts is a 1/3 of the price and is made in Germany. As to being wrong, I'm not there yet, and I will admit when I am, but you have alot more to prove than me... |

Like Rob I have known Terry for a long time, since the late 90s if I remember correctly.
Rob is correct. Terry came up with the idea and lots of us GIs started using them. |
