Slidefire stock

[dlh2689]

Does anyone have one of these slide fire stocks for their AR? I've been watching videos on them and they seem like they'd be a lot of fun to take out shooting. I found them for sale online, and they're offering a coupon for $100 off anything in their store. Do you guys think it's worth picking up?


Here's a link to the one I found: SlideFire SSAR-15 OGR $100 Free Gear Promotion

Do you like wasting ammo? If so, the slidefire is for you. You'd be better asking the question on a cheaper than dirt forum or even over at AR15.com.

Complete junk... Waste of money, ammo, and time.

I think a true indication of their utility would be how many people you see running them in a tactical competition or class (answer=none). You have your answers above too.

I have the newer one works well can be fun but you do go through a lot of ammo. It took a couple of mags to get use to it and when it is locked in place it is still very accurate.

Sorry but I have to call bs on it being accurate.... It's hard to be accurate with a real full auto let alone something that doesn't lend itself to proper shooting form......but I guess accurate is subjective.

They are fun (and I agree, not real accurate) if you have a lot of ammo/money to burn. I put one on a 5.45 AR, so it doesn't sting too bad to blow rounds through it.

 

[solarflarearts]

I understand! My comment of being accurate is when the stock is locked in place and not Slidefire auto, the stock locks in place in the same place where my old collapsible stock locked in at. This makes my single trigger pull the same as my other 4 AR platforms.

Try one on a .22. They're a blast, and are (were) cheap to shoot all day.

I have one and it is a blast to shoot but it dumps ammo and it is not very accurate. I dot one on my buddy's 22 LR and that was cool also. It really is not practical but for shits and giggles it will be alot of fun.

Given the astronomical ammo prices right now, why the hell would you want one?

 

[John-K]

They're fun... Slightly slower rate of fire than a 16 though. I've found its actually easier to control a mag dump with a slide fire than it is with a 16, and I've been shooting the 16 since 1994.

As far as accuracy goes....... Its designed for throwing massive amounts of lead down range.

I don't think you'll find much love for these stocks on a precision rifle oriented forum, but if it makes you smile, then go for it. Personally, I don't see the point. I can barely afford ammo as it is.

I couldn't agree more. Spend that money on reloading supplies.
