I am converting an SL8-6 to a G36K and I got too excited and purchased the G36 bipod. Can I somehow use it with the K forearm or is there no way to bolt it up and would it be too long?

Is there a bipod for the K forearm?

Thanks.

There is no HK bipod for the G36K. It does not have the removable sling pin that holds the HK G36 bipod. The best option would be to use a harris bipod and either rail mount it or get a sling stud adapter to mount it.

G36K Handguard

How do I know if my G36K handguard is the older style that can use the bipod? I am guessing that I need to compare it to the handguard on the SL8 to see if they both have the pin or the place to install the pin.

Does anyone have pics comparing the old to new style K handguards?

Thanks.

MY bad on the K handguard. I have the newer version and was not thinking about the early style. sorry.

This is the newer style that does not accept the HK bipod. There is no front sling pin, it has the heat shield inside and the bottom is rounded.

This is the older style that will accept the HK bipod: There is a sling pin, and the bottom is flat and squared off.

I found this K handguard from a local guy and traded until I got it. I'm pretty sure it's a rare piece, as I've never seen another one like it, but have no idea where it might be from. If anyone has any clue, I'd love to hear about it.

The rubberized checkering on the sides isn't too squishy, but it does give some really nice grip, and the three vent holes really sets it apart.

I know this post is a decade old, but it turned up in a search. While the G36 bipod can fit on the older style G36K handguard, I've yet to see any pics of it being able to be folded up with a forearm ON a G36K.

Asking because mine doesn't sit flush - the feet of the bipod don't fit in the recess for the bipod if the handguard is installed on the rifle.

Anyone have pics of a G36K with the bipod folded in?
