School me on the AR15 & bump stock.

[N7XW]

I've been on a bit of rifle buying spree lately...and am now looking at getting an AR15 with a bump stock (before they are illegal).  I'm looking at the Slide Fire Colt LE6920 but really don't know that much about AR's except for using an M16A1 in ROTC many years ago.

So, I'm asking if anyone has recommendations on which AR to get and compatibility with a bump stock.  Is the Slide Fire Colt a good option or are there better ways to go?

TIA

Not sure if you have shot one, but they are a novelty toy.

I had a beverage with a military buddy of mine and we discussed Bump stocks. He told me about military studies/discussions they have had. In full auto, after the first 2 rounds it was a waste of ammo. Ironically the army is moving away from 3 rnd bursts back to full auto...

Semi auto is where it's at unless uncle Sam is paying for your ammo.

They may be a good investment, or they may be a bad one if they don't grandfather then in.

Lots of accessories I would rather have instead, or more ammo.

Since you want a slide fire then any old piece of junk will work.  Just get the cheapest piece of crap you can, shoot a few hundred rounds down range, then when the giggles wear off in 5 minutes set the whole rig in a dark dusty corner of your basement somewhere to collect spider webs.

Just my opinion---If you're going to use a bump stock on it, not really a point in going all out on the rest of the gun.  You can only fire a bump stock so accurately, it really is spray and pray.  A light weight, compact that can hit a metal drum at 50m would be fine.

Yeah, I'm sure you guys are right, but still think it would be a kick.  I don't know, maybe the novelty would wear off quickly.

With the prices on AR rifles there are a lot of good used ones that folks  took the hit on. 2c

Took me less than 5 minutes, buddy had one when they first came out.  It's not like the real thing, you can't control it as well and it's a lot slower.

I'd spring for a suppressor over a bump stock.

The good news is you can always make a nice coyote gun out of it once the giggle wears off

I think you should find some one with a bump stock and burn a hundred bucks through it.  Then figure out what style of at you want and what your going to do with it.

“Why am I a ‘no’ vote?” Senate Republican Leader Mark Schoesler asked. “Clearly this is the first gun seizure in the state of Washington, because if you are found in possession you are a felon.”

Republican Doug Ericksen argued that the ban on bump stocks would not stop a “crazy, psycho” person from committing a mass shooting. He also warned that the ban could lead to police entering the homes of otherwise law-abiding citizens to seize the devices.

“What you are doing is you are creating the ability for law enforcement to come into your home,” Ericksen said. “And you will not prevent any kind of activity like what happened in Las Vegas.”

Oh man,   SB 5992 is ugly!   


It's been amended and added too and it's sitting on Inslee's desk

 I got one I'll sell you for $400 including shipping.

i think people are trying to make more out of bump stocks than what they are/intended to be....they are not an attachment to a semi-auto gun to make it shoot more accurate, they probably aren't the greatest home defense weapon and they won't win any long distance shooting competition.  What they are is an attachment that allows shooters to fire more per second-period.  Who needs this type of attachment--me/you or any other law abiding citizen that can legally buy one.  Less than 1% of all fiream deaths in this country are attributed to AR-15 type weapons and less than 1% of those are attributed to "bump stocks".  Yes they are a novelty item but i can tell you that due to my uncorrected vision problems I was unable to voluntarily join our Military back in the mid 80's.  Since then i have always wanted to shoot a firearm that was as close to automatic that i could so i purchased one of these and proudly own/shoot it and am glad i was able to.  Yes i can tell you that during a 30 round mag of shooting in just over 2 seconds that i can't keep all rounds within a "bulls-eye" but i can tell you that you don't want to be downrange either.  Yes i know i will eventually lose my rights to own one and it makes me sad that now they have opened the door for what they want banned next
