I would think any attachment forward of the chamber would defeat the idea of a free floating barrel. Check your barrel nut besure it is tight.

On all of my free floating barrels nothing touches the barrel forward of the chamber. No slings, bi pods (not a fan of them) or fore piece.
Hollis, the only thing I see is the "collar" that the fore end tube screws onto behind the barrel nut. The fore end does not touch anything else and clears the A3 gas block by about 1/8" or more. The gas tube is not rubbing or touching anything in there.

As long as I don't shoot with the bipod on a hard surface, it behaves.
