NisilS14 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) bags, magpul moe rail sections, or moe bipod mount. Ideally a free float rail will be best for bipod mounting. Edited August 20, 2016 by NisilS14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 This is what I ended up with for my MLok rail which is what the magpul furniture also uses: M-Lok bipod mount Many places sell this same unit, this is just one link from a retailer I have used in the past.

TonytheTiger Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) At the risk of sounding ignorant, I must ask, what the hell is a chubchik? Edited August 20, 2016 by TonytheTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno what to call it. but the bipods I see have attachment for picatinny rails and my rifle only has a moe magpul forend with slots in the bottom. so it needs something to attach to.

Max It Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 chubchick = gizmo. or maybe device to attach things to things. now I see that putting anything on the forend is not a good idea. something that hangs from the front sight would be best. what is it?

Dberm118 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 i must respond as I too am in So-cal and have never heard the term chubchick.. haha learn something new every day. interesting term!! but if you plan to keep with the gun thing I would definitely go free float.

ClangClang Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The term chupchick is a modern Hebrew word which is a catch-all phrase for a thing which you are trying to describe but don't know the proper term. It is also the term for an apostrophe used to create a contraction (i.e. don't, but in Hebrew). It is pronounced CHOOP-chick. It's a pretty hand word to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 OK, I will admit that I read the term quickly and loosely, and I thought I read chub chick. I instantly thought of chubby chick. Now my translation of that was maybe not what you really wanted today but something that would do when you had the need. Sorry, but I can't be the only guy who had those thoughts when they read that original post. I will just admit to it in a not proud way and now I will go sit in the corner.

shooter545 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 As a great Southern philosopher once stated "Well there you go." I have learned a new word and expanded my vocabulary. Chubchiks for all my friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max It Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 got it! Venture Munitions in Vegas sold me the (chubchik) attachment to connect to my Magpul free float. and also a fine bipod. total $50. could not be better thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
