Yankee Hill Fixed Bipod Stud

Product Description

The Yankee Hill Fixed Bipod Stud (YHM-262) is a precision-machined adapter designed to provide a mounting point for Harris-style bipods or sling attachments on rifles equipped with standard swivel studs. This fixed adapter serves as a simple, reliable connection between your rifle and bipod hardware.

Bipod studs create a dedicated mounting interface that eliminates the need for rail-mounted adapters or clamps. They thread directly into the forend or stock of your rifle, providing a low-profile attachment point that keeps weight down and preserves the rifle’s handling characteristics.

This fixed-stud design is common on hunting rifles, precision bolt guns, and tactical rifles where a permanent bipod mounting solution is preferred over quick-detach systems.

How Bipod Studs Work with Harris-Style Bipods

Harris-style bipods and many tactical bipods use a clamp or pin system that attaches directly to a swivel stud. The bipod stud threads into your rifle’s forend or stock, creating a permanent mounting point. Once installed, the bipod snaps or clamps onto the stud and can be removed when not needed, while the stud remains in place.

This system is lighter and more streamlined than rail-mounted options. It sits closer to the centerline of the rifle, which improves balance and reduces bulk compared to adapters that attach to Picatinny or M-LOK slots.

Who Should Use a Fixed Bipod Stud

Fixed studs are ideal for shooters who have a dedicated precision or hunting rifle and want a permanent, low-profile mounting solution. They work well on bolt-action rifles, AR-platform rifles with free-float handguards that accept stud inserts, and traditional sporter stocks.

If you plan to mount and remove a bipod frequently or switch between multiple rifles, a fixed stud paired with a quick-detach bipod offers a fast, repeatable connection. If you need mounting flexibility across different rifles or want to avoid permanent modifications, consider browsing our full selection of bipod adapters.

Installation and Threading Considerations

Bipod studs typically install via a threaded insert or direct threading into the forend. The exact thread pitch and installation method depend on your rifle’s stock or handguard design. Some wood and synthetic stocks have pre-drilled holes with threaded inserts; others require drilling and tapping or the use of a backing nut.

If you are unsure of the correct installation method or thread specification for your rifle, call 817-393-4000 to confirm compatibility before installation. Incorrect threading can damage the stock or handguard.
