I mounted a cheap rail on the bottom hand grip of my ar. You can get a rail adapter kit for your bipod probably. It work pretty good. If you have a bayonet lug, there are some bipods/adapters for that too.

as mentioned above maybe you could put a 2" weaver rail on the bottom with a stud adapter on it. course you could always put "real" ak handguards/gas tube on it and problem solved.

I wanted to put a vertical grip on my Saiga 7.62 but didn't want to fork over the cash to convert and use standard AK handguards with a rail on the bottom, so I ordered this accessory pack from Tapco, http://www.tapco.com/proddesc.aspx?id=b888c1a6-75b3-4a32-af71-919f8d8bd3a0

and used the two flat picatinney rails and screwed them on to the underside of the factory handguard. Worked great. In the future, I might move one of the rails to the side of the handguard to mount a light or something.

That just reminded me, I've got the rails to go on the Tapco Galil hand guards you can have if you want. They may just be the ticket.
