Interesting. Assuming the quality is where it should be, Magpul may have a real winner here.
A bipod that appears to have all the features of a Harris, plus some of the features of an Atlas -- all at a price that's less than a comparable Harris. I suspect Magpul will eat into the sales of both Harris and Atlas.
I may consider one for my 22lr upper, which does not yet have a dedicated bipod.

I’ve recently become a fan of the long spike feet on soft surfaces, so it was smart of Magpul to make their bipod compatible with the Atlas feet. Of course, the factory Atlas feet go for $50, so I can see some people crying, “What‽ Pay fifty percent of the bipod cost just for the feet: crazy.” But with the cheap counterfeit knock-off feet, the whole package would be very reasonable.
I can hardly wait to see what Magpul develops next.

I saw that. I have a couple GI web slings, the sliding buckle is junk. A $20 sling that can go on just about any rifle in the safe? Hmm, yeah, I'll take one or ten.
