The Harris Bipods No. 5 Handguard Adapter for AR15/M16 bridges the gap between classic Harris bipod reliability and modern Picatinny rail systems. If you're running an AR platform with a free-floating handguard or want to move a trusted Harris bipod to a railed foregrip, this adapter gives you the flexibility to mount proven shooting support where you need it. Built from aircraft-quality aluminum and hardcoated to military specifications, it's engineered to take the recoil and repeated deployment that serious shooters and hunters demand.
Harris bipods have been the standard in precision rifle work for decades—their smooth, repeatable leg deployment and rock-solid lockup have made them a fixture on competition benches, hunting rigs, and range guns. This handguard adapter lets you tap into that legacy by connecting your Harris bipod directly to any Picatinny rail system on your AR, whether that's on a KeyMod handguard, M-LOK rail, or dedicated Picatinny sections. The adapter itself is a straightforward, rugged mechanical interface—no batteries, no complications, just solid steel and aluminum doing what it's supposed to do.
Whether you're setting up a precision rifle for long-range hunting, building a dedicated range gun, or retrofitting older iron on a modern platform, this adapter removes the guesswork. Military-spec hardcoating means it'll hold up through years of field use and cleaning solvents. If you've invested in a Harris bipod and want to run it on a current-generation AR handguard, this is the missing link.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this adapter work with my Harris bipod?
Yes. This No. 5 handguard adapter is designed to connect Harris bipods to Picatinny rail systems. If you own a Harris bipod with a standard friction-leg base or Pan/Tilt head, this adapter will interface with it.
Can I use this on any AR handguard?
This adapter mounts to Picatinny rails. If your handguard has Picatinny slots, you're good to go. Handguards with only KeyMod or M-LOK may require conversion rails or adapters to add Picatinny mounting surfaces.
What comes in the box?
The product is the adapter itself. It mounts directly to your bipod and handguard Picatinny rail. No additional tools or hardware are included beyond what's needed for standard rail mounting.
Is this adapter durable for field use?
Yes. The adapter is built from aircraft-quality aluminum with a mil-spec hardcoat finish, designed to withstand repeated deployment and the rigors of hunting and range shooting.
