Slidefire Review

[Paraguy]

I could not resist the urge to get the Slidefire Stock for my Bushmaster AR-15.  If you have been hiding under a rock and are not familiar with it, it is a bumpfire stock that allows you to shoot in a simulated full-auto manner without breaking any rules since it is a trigger pull for every round you shoot.

Would I rather have a full auto?  Yes.  Do I have the bank to get one?  No.  For $359 plus shipping (Thank you Larry P for getting it to me quickly and on-time as always!) and a 3 minute install you can throw a lot of lead down range very quickly.  Someone at the range who really knows what he is talking about commented that it sounded about twice as fast as an M-16 saying he bet it was 11-1,200 rounds per minute!  Very fun to shoot!

It says it might not work well with match grade triggers and winter trigger guards, I have both and it worked very well.  Mine is a 3lb single stage YMMV.

Overall, it worked exactly as advertised, was fun to shoot and I am glad I got it.  Will I probably go back to my everyday setup?  Probably.  I just bought a lower and sent in my paperwork for an SBR so at least the Slidefire will have a good home in about 8-9 months when I get my stamp.

Agreed!  That's throwing a bunch of dollars away really fast.

And in reality, a well-placed shot is going to be more effective than a "spray and pray" technique.

Still...  It really does sound like fun.

I totally agree, this is strictly just for fun....and the zombie apocalypse of course.
