Good straight forward info, just aquired the .177 version, wish the rear stud for a sling was factory fitted as standard, these little things make the difference to what for most of us is a top of the range airgun.
Good video, very clear instruction. You will notice under the bipod there are 2 tabs with a hole in similar to what the bipod uses to grip the stud, my rifle sling attaches through those I have the brand name bipod, however once when put next to a copy from China the only difference when we compared them apart from large price difference was sleeving over the springs.. which always (on mine) bunch up & look disappointing.
Glad it helped Tim. That's really what this is all about. There are enough people trying to be famous on Social Media but not helping any one at all. Good luck with your Bipod :) Shoot straight, shoot safe
not sure if you got lucky with the split washer, the stud I purched from Fleabay will not line up properly not matter if using a split washer or numerous small shims. looking closely you may have used a larger split washer than I tried, your washer looks to be on the outer diameter of the fixing in the stock, the washer I used drops into the hole.
Hi Chris. Is it too long? Compare it to your original stock bolt. Maybe you need to shorten it... find a nut that fits....put the nut on the stud thread, wind it right down.. then hacksaw off a little of the tread, file it smooth, then unscrew the nut so it acts as a "re-threading tool" as it comes off.
Your right everyone should have a whatist tin, I have about six of them! And there’s always the bit I’m looking for in one of them, we live in a too convenient throw away society.
If I fitted it and didn't have a bipod fitted, it would come loose. It wasn't tight at all, unless at totally the wrong angle for later use. The Bipod is used less than half it's shooting life
Very helpful video Matt. Only problem for me is that I have the latest version of the HW100 in a KT version and when I took the factory screw stud out from the stock there was already a small black washer in the hole. I left it there and screwed the replacement stud in but when it was tight, the holes run front to back not side to side 🙄 so I can’t connect the bipod. If I remove the factory supplied black washer from the hole it looks like the replacement stud will sit too deep! 😩 Just wonder what you suggest? Should I still try a split washer instead of the factory one? Thanks
I had no idea they'd changed it. Wonder why? Maybe mine was missing! More likely that's it. Either way, I'd leave the factory washer in and get a split/spring lock washer next and then fit the stud CAREFULLY over that.. gently tighten and see if you can get it to sit straight. (Some debate about naming conventions on these washers, and Google is as much help as a chocolate teapot on that, but you know which type you want)
hi just saw your video nice snd to the point i know harris are expensive but you have a 1000 pound set up with a sixteen pound bipod on it china stuff is not for me thanks
Complicate old world, isn't it? In fact I've been told it's a combination of both words... a SPRING LOCK WASHER... in some places too. But they're easy enough to source, either way. Maybe the other style would work too
Good question but genuinely, I wont share links as I'm not happy to promote one brand over another. Look on Ebay for "6-9 inch Adjustable Spring Swivel Bipod" and you should find loads!
@@mattscountry363 thank you anyway. As you have already tested it and found it reliable and trusting your opinion so far I would have rather go without fail (I won’t keep you accountable if something would go wrong) but I respect your will. Have a nice day
Really disappointed mate! So the whole video depends on one screw, that you state "you can order". You do not state how it is called, or where it can be ordered. Mate, this whole thing is worthless without knowing how this special screw is called, and where you get it. It's like saying: "I'll tell you how this works, all you need is this thing, that you have to find out about yourself, and it all works". Well thanks mate! I never thought that having the right stuff for the mount could ever resolve the problem! Just a tip from an amateur: Telling the people about the most important part, the thing the whole thing is all about, would really be nice!
He didn't even say what is was called! It's a 'HW100 sling sivel stud', lots of people sell them, just make sure you get the machine screw version, not the really coarse threaded one for screwing into wood.
I’ve just bought the same rifle, and the gun shop had a specially made bespoke stud for the rifle,but it cost me £15 pounds ,but they did fit it for me . expensive I know but at least I didn’t risk damaging my new rifle by fitting the wrong stud 😊

The legs should fold forward because if you have them folding backwards as soon as you put pressure into the rifle stock the bipod will collapse….
Ah... I wondered if this would come up! I do have them a different way around on another gun but I know not to lean into them!

I've been out with it again today and it makes me smile :)

There are a few good cheap versions, and I'm glad you get the change to compare to the original!
Absolutely need the ‘Swivel’ bipod version, this one will do but swivel is better. AF
I’ve just ordered a stud so this was really useful. Thanks for sharing😊
Glad it helped Tim. That's really what this is all about. There are enough people trying to be famous on Social Media but not helping any one at all. Good luck with your Bipod :) Shoot straight, shoot safe
I like the spring washer idea Matt, may revisit the set up on my HW100.😀
I had no choice buddy. It was never gonna work otherwise. However I think it's a good thing long term anyway :)
Top tip ,put some good quality thick electrical tape on stock where the bipod `pads` meet it or they will mark it😊
What about a bit of inner tube??
that's a superb idea!!!
Great instructions
For the uninitiated Harris type
Cheers great video
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks very much
Well that was simple. Thanks Matt. Much appreciated 👍🏻 #subbed
Thanks for the sub! And glad it was helpful :)
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. I use toy filler beads for my bag rest, no dust!
I should have done that to be fair!!!
I used 5 kilo's of rice

@@mattscountry363 Hi, it was too short, bought another one that is 2mm longer in thread, still to try it.
Nice tutorial mate 👍 bought a hw100 this eve. Laminate . Stay safe bud
Hello Lee :) Nice to see you about. Glad you've got a 100 too now :)
Your right everyone should have a whatist tin, I have about six of them! And there’s always the bit I’m looking for in one of them, we live in a too convenient throw away society.
Good reply! A tin full of stuff you scavenged makes a man ... I am glad to say I have ... jars and tins of them!
Why do you need spring washer? No need for stud to be tight. Bipod will pull tight againt frame when tightening and also prevent stud from turning...
If I fitted it and didn't have a bipod fitted, it would come loose. It wasn't tight at all, unless at totally the wrong angle for later use. The Bipod is used less than half it's shooting life

Really useful video, what is the name of the bolt you used and what size is it, thanks
hi just saw your video nice snd to the point i know harris are expensive but you have a 1000 pound set up with a sixteen pound bipod on it china stuff is not for me thanks
you'd have a kitten seeing the other rigs I have on £15 bipods! And they work fine
Hello
Who did you order the stud from??
Mtia
Ebay... look for "HW100 Stud" and you will see plenty
What scope are you using
On this HW100 it's a Hawke Vantage 3-12x50 AO
Its called a lock washer not a spring washer
Complicate old world, isn't it? In fact I've been told it's a combination of both words... a SPRING LOCK WASHER... in some places too. But they're easy enough to source, either way. Maybe the other style would work too
Could you share the link or the name of the bipod?

It was - I'm pleased. Easy win, easy life. Easier than changing all the seals on the 100 anyway ;)
