quick question, the bipods that have the shovel looking feet, are HK? are they even German?. I thought they were made in Greece or something like that.
ok, so from that I am taking it as the bipods with the spade style feet are not HK or german made, correct? I understand the function but I am wanting to understand if they were ever HK or German made.
From my understanding, the HK bipods and german contract bipods are almost exact. The only difference is the HK ones have serrations and imperfections on the feet, whereas the contract ones are smooth. The Greek ones have different looking feet.
So on the HK "style" feet, is there both plastic and metal feet with the same shape? Your HK pic shows what appears to be metal feet with the same shape as plastic ones.

Daniel, that is the understanding I was under, thanks. Rok, the HK style feet are metal, there was a plastic version but those were not made by HK. They might be a german contract but from my understanding HK only made one style and it was all steel.
I have question on this. Years ago on this website I thought that I read that the light bipods with plastic feet were HK. The plastic feet were the result of American buyers of HK91's and HK93's being upset that the steel light bipods scratched the wide handguards. HK responded with the plastic feet version, but these turned out to be too fragile. The feet would often break off in use. Can anyone offer any evidence to confirm or deny this? I would like to know for sure. TIA
The early HK German made light bipods had pinned on plastic feet. HK changed to welded on metal feet later on probably due to the fact that the the plastic feet could be broken off pretty easily.
If this is about they guy selling them on the Files he is asking too much for them. Numrich has the same one for $139. He is selling for $200. And trying to pass them off as German manufactured.
The Greek EBO bipods are nice too, don't think that they're not. The main differences are the feet and the button/lever that unlatches the leg so it can pivot.
I bought a few dozen last year from a seller in the EU and sold them here on the forum for CHEAP. I'd buy them again in a second.
The Greek bipods are nice. I bought one from Numrich. I like the small release buttons on the Greek ones more than the German.
