How to fit a Bipod to a Crosman 22XX

This is my method. I wanted a better foregrip for stability and weight up front. I took a block of wood and drilled a hole through the middle. I drilled deep enough to take the length of the tube. I then used a scroll saw to cut the block in half. I then ended up with 2 blanks. I then used a Dremmel and chisels to finish the inletting. I used an angle grinder to shape and smoothed off with a finishing sander. I fitted a sling pin and mounted the Bipod.











Now all I need to do is stain it. I've got some brown and green outdoor furniture stain. I'm going to attempt a camo style job. After all this is for my hunting gun.

Good idea looks good. I would like to see the finished camo effect.

Fine work Andre, looking forward to the finished project and camo on her. Ed

You can see the original forgrip in the picture below the gun. The camo on the gun is a tape that is available locally. The camo on the foregrip isn't quite how I foresaw it coming out but it works. One day I'll have enough saved to send to you Ed for a complete camo job. As you can see by the foregrip, painting is not my best skill.

The camo on the forgrip look's sweet to me Andre and I think it turned out great, like the color's. The pattern's are fine and that would make a great autumn camo around here. As long as the manmade edges blend your good to go, great work Andre. Ed

Thanks Ed. I was hoping for a darker brown but thats how it goes. I could always add a few lines with a darker stain in the future. Otherwise I'm pleased with the outcome.
