Check this out and it seems to be legal for now.  At least according to 2 of my sources in the BATF.

I actually considered buying one of these about a year ago.  Saw them first on Sportsmansguide.com under slide fire stocks.  Thought it would be fun, but in the end decided that I didn't want to burn through that much ammo. I am curious how long this will be legal though.   :twocents:

I have shot one quite a bit.  They work better with 9mm and .45 lowers.  The 9mm is very controlable, I was able to keep most of the mag on an IPSC target at 20 yards.  You need to hire someone to load mags though!

The slide fire is what made me want an AR in the first place!

Sorry if this os old news.  I hadn't heard of them before. I had this link sent to me by 2 former BATF agents/directors and thought it was cool.

Full auto is overrated or bump fire I should say... It doesn't seem illegal for coyote though as it isn't technically fully auto

They are fun for about an hour, then they turn into a ammo waster.  :twocents:

biggest thing full auto does is turn money into noise.. unless its a heavy belt fed. 3 rd bursts do OK for close combat stuff in 5.56..at fifty yards aimed at the belt buckle the 3rd round will hit head high.. at 20-30 all 3 will usually be on a silhouette.. In the real world is it better than a double tap? maybe not.. I always enforced the use of semi-auto in the real world.

Those were all the rage for a while when they first came out.  Personally, I think they are cool, but I never bought into them because I can burn ammo fast enough with just straight semi-auto.  The gun shop I frequent got several of them, and it took more than a year to sell the last one....  :twocents:

They'll stay legal because it's easy enough to bump fire your weapon without the stock.

At the gun club I belong to, Slide-fire stocks are permitted.  "Bump-firing" a gun is not....  :twocents:

Not as hilarious as you would think-- Bump firing is done at the hip, so the gun can float.  Slide fire stocks are fired from the shoulder, like any other semi-auto.
