Claims (6)

1. A foot attachment adapter for a firearm support device having at least one leg, the adapter comprising:

a body configured to attach to a leg of a firearm support device and including a primary socket having a portion with substantially spherical interior walls and a secondary socket extending into the body therefrom;

a foot having an attachment portion configured to be detachably received by at least the primary socket, the attachment portion selectively including one of either a substantially spherical ball surface without any additional projection such that the foot is angularly pivotable when inserted into the body or a substantially spherical ball surface with a projection configured to extend into the secondary socket such that the foot is not angularly pivotable when installed into the body;

a temporarily deformable elastomeric member positioned at least partially in the primary socket configured to allow insertion of the substantially spherical ball surface of either foot attachment portion and to releasably hold the attachment portion in the primary socket,

wherein the body interchangeably receives either type of foot attachment portion so that the foot is either angularly pivotable or not angularly pivotable relative to the body.
