Good idea, but probably not F class material. There’s got to be reasonable durability standards, flexibility, rigidity, and reliability. I have to admit though, watching a guy show up at and even win an f class event with a pvc pipe on the end of the gun would be an astonishing and thusly hilarious occasion.
Now, who’s gonna do a sch40 bi-pod?!?
I do realize these are often beauty contests for guns.
I have seen my share of aluminum that has cracked.
In freezing conditions, aluminum feels VERY COLD due to high thermal conductivity.
As far as a bipod: Bipods need adjustability, something which would be difficult for PVC. Handguards don't.
Simple tubes are simple tubes.
