This will only work with an FC-5 QD or FC-10 QD. As shown in the video, it replaces the old panning hub, it does not adapt to other non panning models.
I've got a new PC-4 and there is a ton of grease working it's way out the top of the pan mechanism... I'm wiping it off as I use the bipod... But I'm concerned about dirt and debris when in the field. Should I strip it and relive? Looking at this vid the oring should have kept all the grease inside the mechanism?
Hi Ryan, correct no grease should be coming out from the panning hub. the center panning hub has 2 seals please take it apart and make sure the 2 seals are installed. if incase the top seal is missing please call us and we will send you a set right away. please let us know what you find. the panning hub does not require a lot of grease just enough to keep it wet.
@@felipesalazar6814 Hi Felipe, I'm down in Australia... Or else I'd have called. Thanks for the reply. I took it apart and there seemed to be grease above the top o-ring, cleaned that up and left it as is. Seems to have fixed 90% of the grease migration at this stage. One thing I note, and I think this is just the design of the panning hub, its glass smooth unloaded, but when my Tikka is attached to the bipod and on the bench it's quite chalky to pan with... Not jerky or sticking, just quite a course/chalky pan feel through the gun. I assume this is normal, just part of the pressure applied to two machined metal parts?
@@Sisu2280 Hello Ryan, yes all the grease should be below the top o-ring. the chalky feel you are feeling should go away as you use it. the two matting surfaces will start to smooth out over time. it's the hard anodize what causes that feel. a thick grease can also help eliminate that feel. accu-tac is always here to help so keep us posted if this matter gets worst ok.
Is this part still available? I cant find it on your website
So can I put a 50bmg accu bipod that needs the upgrade and do this, then it does everything that the fc g2 does?

@@felipesalazar6814 thanks so much! I really love the bipod and if I can smooth out the pan a little it will be perfect!
