Harris 1A2-BRM vs Magpul M-LOK Bipod

Buy the Harris Engineering bipod, model 1A2-BRM, ASIN B000JJL81M, when you want the notched bipod whose height cells say 6 inches to 9 inches and whose item-weight cell says 10.24 ounces, and when you will ignore an item-type cell that says Holster and a package-weight bullet that says 3.0 pounds. Buy the Magpul bipod on ASIN B07DMBXB9X when the style selected on the page is M-LOK, the color selected is Black, the pattern name is Gun Rest, the weight cell says 11 ounces, and the maximum-height cell says 10 inches. These are bipods. They are not firearms, they are not ammunition, and they are not holsters.

Short version. A Magpul MS1 sling and a Blue Force Gear Vickers sling are the straps, not the legs. A Tipton vise and a Hoppe's vise are the bench, not the bipod. An Otis Ripcord and a Real Avid Bore Boss clean a bore. They do not hold a forend. A rifle and the ammunition stay at a licensed dealer. This page does not sell either one, and it does not show a firearm.

The Harris title on the product page is Harris Engineering 1A2-BRM Series 1A2 Bipod, 1A2-BRM, 6 to 9 inches, leg notch. The brand cell says Harris Engineering. The manufacturer cell says Sportsman Supply. The model-number cell and the manufacturer part number both read 1A2-BRM. The ASIN is B000JJL81M. The UPC field prints two numbers, 859343005070 and 051156113083. The GTIN is 00051156113083, which matches the second UPC and not the first. The color cell says Black. The material cell says Plastic. The item-weight cell says 10.24 ounces. The minimum-height cell says 6 inches. The maximum-height cell says 9 inches. The included-components cell says Bipod. The item-type cell says Holster. The number-of-items cell says 1. The warranty cell says 2 Year Manufacturer. The bullets say the legs extend from 6 inches to 9 inches, the notches are in 1-inch increments, it is made in the USA, and the package weight is 3.0 pounds. The description says the legs eject by spring, there are four height settings from 6 to 9 inches, and the weight is 10 ounces.

10.24 ounces, 10 ounces, and 3.0 pounds cannot all be the bipod. 3.0 pounds is 48 ounces. That is the package bullet. 10 ounces is the description. 10.24 ounces is the item-weight cell. Use 10.24 ounces as the cell, 10 ounces as the description, and 3.0 pounds as the package line, and weigh the bipod out of the box. Do not average them into a 1-pound bipod. Four heights from 6 to 9 in 1-inch steps are 6, 7, 8, and 9. The minimum and maximum cells agree with that list. The material cell says Plastic. A Harris notched bipod is a metal leg assembly with rubber feet. Plastic, as a single material cell, does not describe the springs or the legs. Treat Plastic as a broken field, not as a promise that the legs are polymer. The item-type cell says Holster. A holster holds a handgun. This part number is a bipod. Do not order 1A2-BRM when you wanted a holster, and do not file the bipod as a holster because the cell said so.

The same Harris page also shows a different bipod, the 1A2-25C, with a 13.5-to-27-inch range and a 19-ounce line. That block is not 1A2-BRM. A shopper who needs a tall sitting bipod is on the wrong row. The two UPCs are a second problem. One GTIN cannot confirm two barcodes. Match the box barcode to 051156113083 if you are checking the GTIN, and treat 859343005070 as the extra number until the box shows it. Sportsman Supply is the manufacturer cell. Harris Engineering is the brand cell. Both can be true of a distributed product. Neither cell is the holster type.

The Magpul page title is Magpul Rifle Bipod Gun Rest for Hunting and Shooting, M-LOK, Black. The brand cell says Magpul. The color selected on the page is Black. The style selected is M-LOK. The pattern name is Gun Rest. The material cell says Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Injection-molded Polymer. The item-weight cell says 11 ounces. The maximum-height cell says 10 inches. The ASIN is B07DMBXB9X. The bullets say it transitions between configurations, that adjustments are one-handed, that the housing is low profile, that the aluminum is Mil-spec hard anodized 6061 T-6, and that the bipod is strong. The page's product fields, as opened here, do not print a model number, a UPC, a minimum height, or a pan angle.

Magpul's own page for the M-LOK bipod uses model MAG933, a leg range of 6.8 inches to 10.3 inches, a weight just over 11 ounces, 50 degrees of tilt, and 40 degrees of pan. That page is Magpul's page. It is not an Amazon model cell. The Amazon maximum-height cell says 10 inches, not 10.3. The Amazon weight cell says 11 ounces, which is the same neighborhood as Magpul's "just over 11 ounces" and is not the same sentence. Do not cite 6.8 inches as an Amazon minimum. The Amazon card does not print a minimum. Do not cite MAG933 as the Amazon model number. Order the M-LOK style on this ASIN, and read the stamp on the bipod. Reviews on the same parent page also name a Picatinny style, a sling-stud style, and flat dark earth. Those are other chips. A Picatinny bipod in the box is not the M-LOK style this comparison is about.

11 ounces and 10.24 ounces are close. The Harris package bullet of 3 pounds is not close. Compare the Harris item-weight cell with the Magpul item-weight cell, and leave the 3-pound line in the package column. The Harris height stops at 9 inches. The Magpul maximum cell stops at 10. One inch of maximum height is the cell difference. It is not a reason to call them the same bipod. The Harris card names notches and a spring. The Magpul bullets name a one-handed adjust and an aluminum housing. The attachment is the decision the cells only half make. The Harris description on this page does not print "sling swivel" in the 1A2-BRM paragraph. The 1A2-25C block on the same page does say it attaches to a sling swivel stud. Do not move that sentence onto 1A2-BRM. The Magpul style cell, when M-LOK is selected, is the attachment you can cite. A sling-stud Magpul is a different style on the same parent.

Who should buy the Harris, and who should buy the Magpul?

Buy 1A2-BRM if you want the 6-to-9-inch cells, the notched legs, the spring sentence in the description, the 10.24-ounce cell, and the made-in-the-USA bullet, and if you will ignore Holster, Plastic, the spare UPC, and the 3-pound package line. Buy the Magpul if you want the M-LOK style, the black color, the 11-ounce cell, the 10-inch maximum cell, and a material cell that names aluminum and stainless steel, and if you will accept that this Amazon view did not print MAG933, a minimum height, or a UPC. Buy the Magpul only in the M-LOK chip. A Picatinny or a sling-stud chip is a different order even when the parent ASIN looks familiar.

Do not buy either bipod as a rifle. Do not buy either as ammunition. Do not buy the Harris as a holster because the item-type cell said Holster. Do not buy the 1A2-25C block when you wanted 6 to 9 inches. Do not buy a sling and expect legs. The MS1 comparison is a sling. This page is the legs.

What is 1A2-BRM actually for?

This card is a short notched bipod. The useful identity is 1A2-BRM, ASIN B000JJL81M, black, 6 to 9 inches, 10.24 ounces, one bipod in the included line, and a two-year warranty cell. Four notch settings match the min and max cells. The manufacturer cell says Sportsman Supply. The brand cell says Harris Engineering. The GTIN matches one of the two UPCs. Plastic and Holster are the fields to reject. The 3-pound bullet is a package weight until a scale says the bipod itself weighs 3 pounds, which the 10.24-ounce cell says it does not. The description's 10 ounces and the cell's 10.24 ounces are close enough to be rounding, and they are not the package line.

Use it where a 6-to-9-inch leg is the height you need. A bench that wants 13 inches is the other Harris block on the same page, not this part. The card does not print a cant angle or a pan angle. Do not borrow the Magpul page's 40 degrees of pan and paste it here. Magpul's degrees are not on the Harris card, and they are not even on the Magpul Amazon cells opened for this article. They are on Magpul's own product page.

What is the Magpul M-LOK bipod actually for?

This card is one style of a parent page. The useful identity, on the chip this article opened, is ASIN B07DMBXB9X, style M-LOK, color Black, pattern Gun Rest, 11 ounces, a 10-inch maximum, and a material cell that names aluminum, stainless steel, and polymer. The pattern name Gun Rest is a category label. It does not mean the box contains a rest bag. The bullets describe one-handed adjustment and a low housing. They do not print a leg count, a notch count, or a degree of pan. Magpul's own MAG933 page is where 6.8 inches, 10.3 inches, 50 degrees, and 40 degrees live. Cite that page as Magpul's page. Cite 11 ounces and 10 inches as the Amazon cells.

Other styles on the parent are easy to mis-order. Flat dark earth is a different color. Picatinny is a different mount. Sling stud is a different mount. The style control is the order. The brand cell says Magpul on all of them. Brand is not the mount. A forend without M-LOK slots will not take the M-LOK chip. The card does not print a list of rifles. It should not. This is not a firearm listing.

How do you mount them without mixing the cards?

Mount the Magpul only if the style in the cart says M-LOK and the forend has M-LOK slots. A Picatinny rail is the other style. Do not force an M-LOK clamp onto a rail because the parent ASIN also sells a rail version. Mount the Harris only after you have identified the stud or adapter the bipod in your hand actually uses. This 1A2-BRM paragraph does not name the stud. The taller 1A2-25C block does, and that name does not transfer. If the bipod you unpack has a sling-swivel clamp, that is the hardware in the box, not a sentence this card failed to print. If it does not fit the stud you own, it is the wrong mount, not a broken 6-inch cell.

Set the Harris notches at 6, 7, 8, or 9. There is no half-inch on this card. The Magpul Amazon card gives you a 10-inch maximum and no minimum, so the extension you feel is not a cell until Magpul's own page is the source you are willing to name. Neither card prints a torque for the clamp. Snug is not a spec. Neither card is a zero. A bipod does not print a click value. Leave the rifle's zero at the dealer conversation, not on this page.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The Harris card fails when Holster is obeyed and a holster is expected. It fails when Plastic is read as the whole bipod. It fails when 3.0 pounds is quoted as the bipod weight next to a 10.24-ounce cell. It fails when the two UPCs are treated as two bipods. It fails when the 1A2-25C height is ordered on a 1A2-BRM part. It fails when a sling-swivel sentence from the tall bipod is pasted onto the short one. It fails when the manufacturer cell Sportsman Supply is read as a different product from the Harris brand cell.

The Magpul card fails when MAG933 is cited as an Amazon model cell. It fails when 6.8 and 10.3 inches are cited as Amazon height cells. It fails when a Picatinny or sling-stud review photo is received as the M-LOK chip. It fails when Gun Rest is read as a sandbag in the box. It fails when 11 ounces is averaged with the Harris package weight of 3 pounds. It fails when the page is used as a rifle listing. The pattern name contains the word gun. The ASIN is still a bipod.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a rifle review, a caliber review, or an ammunition review. No firearm photograph is on this page. No firearm ASIN and no ammunition ASIN is in the buttons. A dealer sells the rifle. This page sells the reading of two bipod cards. This is not a sling article and it is not a vise article. Those links are the other tools on a bench. This is not a price quote. Use the buttons for the live listing. This is not every Magpul bipod style, and it is not the tall Harris 1A2-25C.

So which bipod should you buy?

Buy the Harris if you want part 1A2-BRM, ASIN B000JJL81M, the 6-to-9-inch cells, and the 10.24-ounce cell, and if you will throw out Holster, Plastic, the extra UPC, and the 3-pound package bullet. Buy the Magpul if you want the M-LOK style on ASIN B07DMBXB9X, the 11-ounce cell, and the 10-inch maximum cell, and if you will not pretend the Amazon fields printed MAG933 or a minimum height. Buy neither if you wanted a holster, a rifle, a box of ammunition, or the tall Harris. The style and the part number are the decision. The item-type cell is the warning.

This page does not embed a video. A bipod clip that also shows a rifle is a firearm picture this article is not going to run. Read the part number and the style chip instead.
