Slidefire Stock question

[UncleJak]

I have been seeing these slidefire stocks more and more. It looks like something I might like but I am unsure. I must be a dummy because I do not understand how they work. Can someone break it down for me in idiot language?

[Guest Victor9er]

It's just a bump-fire gizmo. I personally don't like them, but this video explains how it works...

They are neat...untill you realize you've gone through 6 mags in less than 30 seconds. Mike.357 has bump fired his AK by hand just about as fast as I've see these things work. For the price of them and the expense of the ammo you COULD put down range for fun, it isn't worth it for me. These days, my ammo isn't worth wasting if I can help it.

Yeah, I'm still waiting to see one of the members here do a review on a slide fire with a .22 upper. That is what is keeping me from picking it up. I'm not burning down all that 5.56, but .22 would a hoot.

A Slide Fire won't work on a standard AR with a .22 upper or a .22 conversion bolt.

The gun is too heavy to allow the recoil you need to operate it properly.

However.....

I put one on a S&W M&P 15-22.

I read that some people had great success using the stock trigger, however mine didn't work with the stock trigger.

Installed a Timney 3lb. drop in unit and it works flawlessly!!!

Talk about fun to shoot!!!

Going to shoot it again on Sunday and will post some video of it.

Thanks for the review! I had seen vids online with a .22 upper, but wasn't sure if the gun was tuned for it. Looks like I'll be in the market for an upper when the gun fund is back up. I had a FA .22 with a suppressor on a deployment years ago and it was awesome... just hard to find food for it there. Always wanted something similar here.

Don't tell Th AR guys, but I am a AK guy. Anyone have experience with the AK version?

Took my S&W M&P 15-22 with Slide Fire Stock out the the range yesterday.

It worked great!!!!

Here is a quick video of it in action.

Very cool! Was that over at CHMR? I had seen a guy over there with one, but talking to him he said Charlie wouldn't allow them. Maybe he has to know/trust you a bit better than the casual shooter?

[Retired Navy GMC]

It was at CHMR.

I spoke with Charlie prior to shooting it to make sure.

He told me that other shooters had them on .223 AR's and they weren't controlling them. When I showed him that it was on a .22, he let me have at it.

Always good to ask before using it on someone else's range.

A friend has one (AR version) and let me play with it. My opinion... it's a fantastically fun way to waste someone else's ammo. I was never able to pull off a full mag dump, it got away too fast. About 10 rd bursts were all I could manage and keep it on target (sort of).

[atlas3025]

I wonder if one of those would work on a SCAR 17 that had an AR buffer tube conversion on it...would be a fun way to waste some .308.

Yeah, my daughter was with me. A friend of mine and his son were there with us. Had a great time shooting. It was the first time I had been to CHMR. Charlie is a nice guy and the range is set up well. Sorry about the brass down your back.
