Someone just posted above you saying that they had bought this exact same bipod and it fit the bottom rail, which is why i started this thread.... So either someone is lying or I have a different bottom rail than everyone else on the 995TS.

Is it so d**n hard to take a round file to open the weaver slot a little so the bigger bolt will fit it?????

from reading most of the posts on the weaver picatinny rail thread and then this one i think your best bet is to just call hi-point and tell them taht nothing fits your rails, they will most likely send you brand spanking new ones for free.

I zoomed in to the bipod clamp area on a photo I had previously taken . . . .




I did not slide it onto the rail. I loosened up the clamp as much as I could, hooked the fixed end onto the rail, swiveled the bipod so that the loose end of the clap came into contact with the rail, and then tightened everything up. I cannot say for sure whether the clamping screw was impeded by the size of the gap in the rail, but all is nice and tight.

After this photo was taken, I moved the biopod to the end of the rail so that I could mount a Magpul AFG2 behind it. I've used the bipod every time I've been to the range, and it really helps my accuracy at 50 yards.

As for the AFG2, I did have to tap the retaining screw through - I could not install it with simple hand pressure, but it is installed. The picatinny risers I used on the top rail both installed with no problems.

You will need to open the slots on the weaver rails for any picatinny accessory to fit.

Jeff: take the bolt out of the bipod clamp and measure it against the rail groove. You will find the bolt wider than the groove/slot. You do not have to open the slot all the way, but with a round file, enough for the bolt to fit about half its width down. You can mount the bipod without filing, but it will not sit flat against the rail.

I got one off of ebay for under $20 shipped. No springs like model others have.

I used a dremel and thinned the bolt to make mine fit !! worked great !

Walmart clearanced out the winchester brand bipod if you can still find them.
