Abstract
A detachable firearm accessory is provided to enhance stability of a shooting position when attached to the forestock of a firearm. Configurations of a detachable leg bipod system or device provide for the legs of the bipod system or device to be removable and separately stowable with the bipod system, or apart from the bipod system, in order to potentially reduce the weight, and/or streamline the protruding profile/parts, of the bipod system or device remaining attached to the forestock of the firearm for carriage. Removability of the legs may otherwise enhance or increase the flexibility for the shooter in his or her ability to differentially employ the particularly-configured base or connection portion of the bipod system or device, apart from the legs, as one or more of a barricade stop, or a sill or frame saddle stop.
