Seeking expert advice and suggestions regarding which AR-15/M4 rifle I should purchase for the following purposes in 5.56 (or maybe 7.62x39):
After looking at the Slide Fire Solutions SSAR-15 stock, I have decided to pursue an appropriate rifle that can withstand high and extended rates of fire while maintaining a long service life. Presently I own and prefer my semi-auto G3 or AK-47, but having the ability to shoot more rapidly would be nice.
I have already looked at the MGI Military MARCK-15 HYDRA in 7.62x39 because it accepts AK-47 magazines, but I do not know yet if the lower is the standard AR-15/M4 size to accept the Slide Fire stock. Does anyone know off hand? I’m also still interested in the 7.62x39 idea as long as standard AK-47 magazines and drums could be employed.
That issue aside, let’s talk for a moment about piston driven rifles please. After looking around for piston driven rifles, I am not seeing many available that appear to have the standard AR-15/M4 lower to accept a Slide Fire stock. Bushmaster (5.56) seems to have an upper that one can purchase which is piston driven. Is anyone familiar with what might be available?
It seems that I might be wanting a chrome lined chamber and barrel, also a heavy barrel, but if anyone disagrees please let me know. (Although I still want the barrel threaded.) One of the things I was wondering about are the finishes that are out there, talking about protecting your rifle while at the same time eliminating the need for oil (which can create fouling problems for AR-15/M4 rifles). Would this be advisable for shooting a lot of rounds through one rifle in the AR-15/M4 platform?
Some of the other names I was looking at are Rock River Arms and Stag Arms (5.56). Are there any other recommended manufacturers or specific rifle suggestions? It is necessary for the AR-15/M4 type rifle to have the standard lower and trigger guard, along with a mil spec buffer tube in order for the Slide Fire to function. As a side point I don’t feel like spending an arm and a leg so let’s maybe steer clear of HK and Colt rifles for the sake of this discussion.
Please keep in mind that I’m personally interested in this concept (even if you think it is stupid) and know that the accuracy would not be inherently quite as tight as a real fully automatic weapon (of which I have shot and even owned in the past), so if you just want to nay-say, poo poo, or try to ridicule this project with lots of negativity…then let’s just save us both the time and headache.
Just looking for some guidance on mating the Slide Fire stock with the best and most appropriate semi-auto AR-15/M4 to do the job. Thank you!
