Reply With QuoteI want to say Harrises have an Allen head in the center of the swivel attachment screw. That looks like any number of cheap knockoffs I have. Without livery on the side, I'd be hard pressed to distinguish one from the other.
Sorry for the extra garb I'm doing this from my phone.
I was told this is a harris but it doesn't look anything like the rest of my Harris bipod. The bolts are standard thread so I assume it's a Caldwell. What do you guys think it is?

I think you're right with Caldwell.

"...shall not be infringed" What's the confusion?
Thanks guys. I wasn't sure who made it but I was absolutely sure Harris didn't..... Bought this from a member that stated it was a Harris and when I asked to return it he still insists it was a Harris. So much so I wasn't able to get the entire amount back. Chalking it up to a lesson learned.
Mailed it back to him waiting on the return funds. Thanks again for confirming my suspicions.
I know it's not a Harris by the springs. You'll definitely know it's not a Harris when it flexes under a heavy barrel with legs extended or under a light load. I wouldn't run spikes on a knock off pod because I'd probably snap the legs loading into the bipod.
Harris bipods will have Harris and the model stamped on the front plate. (clearly missing in the last photo above)
Harris bipods have a single linkage bar on the bottom, not two as shown in the photo's above.
Harris bipod springs are different than shown in the photo's above.
Harris bipods use an Allen bolt in the draw-up knob, not a Phillips head screw as shown in the photo's above.
Harris bipods feature additional locking knobs on the legs to lock in at less than full extension which are missing in the photo's shown above.
Below are some photo's of a real Harris bipod for comparison.

What kind of member would attempt to screw another one here... That's messed up.
I was thinking the same thing. Pretty low.Originally Posted by Kadams1563
Unless...he was told it was a Harris when he bought it and now thinks it really is!
