Abstract
A bipod mounting assembly for attaching a bipod to the forearm stock portion of a firearm, which includes a mounting yoke adapted to quickly and easily attach to the swivel stud connector mounted to the forearm stock portion of the firearm. The mounting yoke is adapted to receive a mounting block thereover, with the mounting block being attached to the mounting yoke to thus attach the mounting block to the forearm stock portion of the fire arm. A bipod mounting frame that includes a pair of extensible telescoping legs is releasably attachable to the mounting block by a quick-release locking catch to enable the quick attachment/detachment of the legs of the bipod from the mounting block, and thus the firearm. In one embodiment the mounting yoke has a threaded stud that extends through the mounting block and receives a securing bolt to secure the mounting block to the firearm.
