Slide Fire Stock (video)

[indygunguy]

Hey guys,

I picked up a Slide Fire AR stock at Plainfield last week. Picked up a new buffer tube at Bradis (this won't work on an A2 tube) and those guys were good enough to just install the new stock for me... took about 2 minutes.

Now, I didn't really know what to expect. I mean, would this thing work? Would it take some finesse to get it to fire right? Would it be controllable? I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find that even on my first shots it worked perfectly and was very controllable. Even my wife (who is small) shot this thing well.

So... it works. It's a TON OF FUN. In my opinion it's worth every penny. I mean, full auto for $350? HELL YES!

Here's the video of the first shots...

I love the look when you turn to the camera!

Ever see Sledgehammer? That's how you look.
I want to look like that.

An AR in 9mm would be perfect for this... to keep the ammo costs down a little.

That looks frickin' sweet. Full auto on the cheap for sure! Time to stock up on .223!

Also won't work on a M&P15/22, due to the extended trigger gaurd. Works like a charm on 556 though.

Do they make one for the ak? If so I want one. (Final count down starts to play. Looks at camera.)

Rumor has it that they are in process of building one for AK

Right now the Feds say this is legal, and if I'm correct the manufactuer inclused a letter from them with every purchase. If... wait when, the Feds decide this is illegal, do you guys think that those already purchased will be grandfathered?

Oh, and OP, awesome!

I’ve had my Slide Fire for over six months now and here is what I’ve learned. The Slide Fire works awesome! If you are thinking about buying a legal full auto, do yourself a big favor and go buy the Slide Fire and try it out, you will be impressed. If you already have a Slide Fire install a H2 buffer, this will slow down the rate of fire just a bit so everything functions 100%. The Slide Fire device needs recoil to operate so if you have a (very good) recoil reducing muzzle brake on you AR it will have effect on just how much forward pressure you will need to operate the gun.
Recently I was at our local county range helping a local vendor test a new type of hi-cap magazine(s). In a 2 hour time frame I shot over 1500 rounds of Lake City M855 in Full auto M4’s & SCAR 17. Toward the end I brought out my AR with the Slide Fire and let the Range Master and another individual try it out. After shooting my AR both guys wanted to know where they could go order the Slide Fire.
I’m very happy with how the Slide Fire works and you will be too.

I had the same thought... surely they'll find a way to make this illegal... and if they do I plan to have a few saved up for that rainy day!

Nope, they won't be. If ATF re-classifies them as a machine-gun, they will be confiscated from the owners. That's what happened to the Akins Accelerator. It's a stock for a 10/22 that sort of duplicated the results of the Slide Fire, but with different mechanics.

The ATF originally classified it as legal, then changed their mind and re-classified it as a machine gun. They went around and confiscated them from everyone that bought them. It also ruined the owner of the company financially.

What might be different about that stock is that the action "floated" in the stock, and it had springs to bring the action back forward and cause the trigger to contact the shooter's finger. With the Slide Fire, you are pulling the action forward into contact with your finger. It's not an automatic action. If you fire the Slide Fire one-handed, it will not fire again. If you fired the Akins Accelerator one-handed, it would continue to fire, since the action just bounces in the stock.

They are telling us it will be out in September, not a rumor, it is fact.

It would be nice to own one of these. I talked to a dealer about them and he said if you're worried about them being confiscated by the ATF, just pay cash. No personal info or paperwork is needed since it's not classified as a firearm. He compared it to buying an upper receiver for an AR. Of course that could be because he wanted me to spend $350.00...then another $150 or so for 5 minutes of ammo.

Ya but if it is ever deemed illegal, if you paid cash, it would still be illegal! It would be like trying to hide a machine gun without the proper tax stamps, etc. A great way to go to federal prison.

That thing looks like it works incredibly well. That is why I think they will go after it.

I almost bought one at the last 1500........i will have one at he end of his month.
