ABSTRACT:
A bipod type gun support has a generally cylindrical hub that defines a barrel-receiving bore that can be slipped onto and off of the muzzle end of the gun. Downwardly diverging legs are integrally joined to opposite sides of the hub to present a one-piece construction. A slot along the top of the hub facilitates a slight amount of resilient flexing of sidewall portions of the hub toward and away from one another when the diverging legs are squeezed and released, thus enlarging the bore of the hub sufficiently to facilitate installation and removal of the support from the barrel. Preferably, the support is molded from a synthetic resinous material.
