ATP Low Profile Locking Lever (Pod Lock) for MDT CKYE-POD Bipods

The ATP low profile locking lever replaces the factory tilt/cant locking screw/knob on both Gen 1 and Gen 2 MDT CKYE Pod and CKYE Pod Lightweight Bipods.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MDT have increased the length of the CKYE Pod locking knob in late 2023. Please remove the locking knob on your bipod and measure the length of it before purchasing our pod lock. If it measures approximately 58mm then our pod lock will work. If it measures around 65mm then our pod lock will not work with this version.

The tilt/cant locking mechanism on the original Gen 1 MDT CKYEPOD (and CKYE Pod Lightweight) was tightened with an allen key. The Gen 2 is an improvement and uses a thumbnut, it is designed to use a bullet to get the added leverage and grip to tighten the thumbnut but this is not ideal, and makes it difficult to lock the bipod in position. Note: The CKYE Pod Lightweight model still uses the allen key locking mechanism.

A better solution is to replace the thumbnut with a ratcheting  locking lever which provides the grip and leverage to secure the cant function using only one hand. Similar designs are used by military and law enforcement units worldwide. The locking lever is spring loaded and can be placed in any position after it has been tightened, just pull the lever towards you to disengage the ratchet mechanism, reset the position of the lever and let go.

Made in Australia

Note: This will only fit genuine Standard, PRS short, Double Pull, Triple Pull MDT CKYEPODs (Gen 1 and Gen 2). Does not fit the Heavy duty variants as these use a different thread pitch/diameter.
