Thread: Any tricks on getting Backlands to stop flopping around

Probably not what you want to hear, but sell it and buy a spartan javelin or MTN if your budget will stretch that far.
This was the one thing that I just couldn't come to grips with on the backlanz bipod was the "slop" in the quick release mount when fitted.
If you go the spartan route definitely get the adjustable or long version and get a mount bedded into your fore, this will give the most solid mounting option for the javelin.
I can't speak 100% for the MTN as I haven't physically seen 1 but I believe they are solid once loaded up.
The javelin I have been using for a few years and I find it perfect balance of lightweight and 100% positive lock up (no slop at all) when mounted.
