Thunder Beast Arms says they’ve been kicking around the idea of a bipod for half a decade; but didn’t start working on it until 2017. They combined the ideas from each of their “favorite” bipods, optimized them for actual field usage models, added a few new innovations and good ideas, and then tested the hell out of it for over a year. The result is what you see here, the TBAC Bipod.

Features:
-Legs deployable without push of a button – just sweep the legs down
45-degree mode, but only if you want it after deploying to 90 degrees, so it’s not annoying
-No pan mode to keep rifle from falling over
-Tool-less QD feet (rubber and spike available)
-Tool-less leg extension installation and removal
-Set-and-forget cant tension, very smooth cant adjustment and rotation
-ADM Picatinny QD mount
-Pic mount can be removed and replaced with all B&T mounting plates, e.g. RRS, Arca Swiss
-Legs are fully spring actuated but designed to reduce muzzle hop
-Titanium, stainless, and aluminum construction, fully coated
-Titanium parts are PVD coated
Stainless is ISONITE QPQ Nitrided
Aluminum is Type III hardcoat
-Inner legs are made of titanium
-All critical mating surfaces are stainless steel
“Fat Guy” impact rated
-Stock height, 6.5 – 9 inches @ 90 degrees; 5.1 – 6.9 inches at 45 degrees
-With optional leg extensions, height, 9.5-12 inches @ 90 degrees; 7.25-9 inches at 45 degrees
-Optional spike feet with carbide tips

They will begin accepting TBAC BIPOD orders at SHOT Show 2019 and not before then. The first units should be available in approximately March.
