CAL SeriesBT65-NC-UN
CAL Atlas® Bipod
About the CAL Series: Fulfilling requests for an Atlas without the ability to Cant prompted creation of the CAL (Cant And Loc) Atlas® Bipod. It delivers the same novel Atlas feature of five independent leg positions – including the patented 45° leg position – but without the Pan function to ensure the bore stays perpendicular to the bipod legs. Features 63º of adjustable, preloaded Cant and a wide footprint. Made in the USA.
The BT65-NC model Atlas Bipod is part of our CAL Series. The “NC” stands for “No Clamp,” meaning it requires any 17S size mount in order to attach to a firearm. The interface to install a clamp has a two hole pattern of 1.100” with 10/32 threads. It will also mount directly to our BT19 AI Spigot or BT70 M-LOK® Adapter.
Adjustable, preloaded Cant with additional tension lever made possible using original KMW Pod-Loc® (instructions below).

Mounting & Compatibility
Tell us what your rifle has up front and we will show the exact part you need, with the price.
Picatinny Clamps
Any Atlas bipod with a two-screw clamp mounts directly to a Picatinny rail. These are the quick-detach and slider options if you want to move the bipod between rifles.

ARCA Clamps
Run a No Clamp (NC) Atlas and add an ARCA-compatible clamp to mount on an ARCA-Swiss forend or chassis rail.

Dual Picatinny & ARCA Clamps
Dual clamps take both a Picatinny rail and an ARCA dovetail, so one bipod moves between rifles that mount differently.

M-LOK® Adapter & Rails
Two ways onto an M-LOK handguard: the BT70 adapter takes a No Clamp Atlas directly for the lowest profile, or fit a rail and clamp any Atlas to it.
Single Sling Stud
The BT81 adapts a single sling stud to a short Picatinny rail, so a stud-only stock can take an Atlas bipod.
Double Sling Stud
With two studs you can fit a longer Picatinny rail, which gives a firmer mount and lets you slide the bipod fore and aft.
