Hi Fernando

Yes, I should have been more clear. I was refering to Afghan versus Indian.
Yes, the use of bi-pods in China, Southest Asia, etc. with their matchlocks almost seem the norm.
As the illistrations show, the bi-pods were also used with the Toradors. I've just never been able to personally view/examine one. But hope to one day.
Over the years there seems to be a number of the Jazails that turn up with these bi-pods attached. Or, as Richard mentions, you see the extra hole in the forestock that would have allowed it's attachment.
