Title: AR owners, this is for you.
Post by: PolarBear on February 16, 2013, 12:39:52 AM: Check this out and it seems to be legal for now. At least according to 2 of my sources in the BATF.

Post by: Jburke on February 16, 2013, 12:54:14 AM: 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:

Post by: PolarBear on February 16, 2013, 09:35:28 AM: 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.

Post by: hillbilli on February 17, 2013, 01:51:17 AM: 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.

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on February 17, 2013, 08:31:15 AM: 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:

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.
