alright, lets see if i can get these crappy cell phone pics in order.
I did this mod years ago and don't have any "before" pics. so, for anyone that hasn't already done this, "before" is where you are at, so start there.
step 1. Remove the thumb nut so it looks like this.

step 2. Install the spacer. your spacer may look different depending on where you got it.
It just slides on the stud.

NOTE: I did this to the bi-pod before I had this particular weapon, and you can see that the lever is pretty long. I have yet to see any need to cut it short or replace it with a shorter lever. folded up against the side like it is in the pic, it is out of the way and so far has never snagged on anything.
