Bump Fire / Slide Fire Stocks

I would say none as they are the sort of thing that feeds the antis and wastes valuable ammo.

If your gonna do it I would suggest finding one factory built with the bump fire stock. Seems to me that a "bought legally and unmodified" rifle would be better in questionable times than a "bought semiauto and made bump fire full auto simulator" with you as a "builder". I see no sense in the things but I also see no sense in restricting civilians from owning what we are promised in the constitution. My 2 cents, and worth exactly that.

What's the difference between the $100 models & the $300 models?

Does any one have both?

I'm considering adding an M4 to my collection with a Bump Fire / Slide Fire Stock.

But which one & why?

Well first being Slidefire sued and won against Bumpfire. So no more Bumpfire branded stocks.

Now if you asking about the stocks in general, and not about the name brand issue, then not much.




Regarding the haters, ignore them. These kinds of threads always brings them out of their holes to chastise the poster with the same tired comments. It is your money, it is legal, do it if you want. Have fun with it and be safe.

I watched a guy not hit a target at all with one at 25 yards. Maybe he was blind but what's the point other than fun - fun I get.

I plan on building a lower with one to have some fun with occasionally

To answer your question, you never know when you might need suppressive fire. Sometimes actually hitting the target is of secondary concern.

Slide Fire stocks are much better than the Bump Fire stocks. I own both.

I disagree with the guy that said to buy one vs making your own. Some people type the dumbest things on these forums. It's not illegal to build your own bump fire stocks. Just don't use a spring or rubber band in your design and you will be fine.

The slidefire one go as low as 150ish. They are alot of fun and a cheap legal way to go rock and roll. It doesn't matter why u own an ar15 so it doesn't matter if u want slide fire... Me and my buddy were burning targets up at 50yds no problem. B good for CQB

I recommend a Fostech Echo or Ben Franklin Armory Binary trigger group over a bumpfire stock... But that's assuming you can get your hands on one...

What about just setting up the trigger so it's lighter than learn to do the bumpfire thing by holding the gun a certain way? That way when you get tired of sending lots of ammo flying and only hitting anything by accident you can go back to normal shooting.

Just to be clear I'm not a "hater". I'm just someone that is pragmatic about using such a thing. Oh sure, it's a big giggle at first. But pretty quickly most folks will come to realize that it's not fun to shoot off that much ammo without hitting anything other than by accident any more. Then the expensive slider stock gets taken off and left to collect dust or sold off to the next new guy that thinks they will be fun. Or the whole gun it is on gets only taken out for the entertainment of a new shooter or the guy's buddies that shoot off all their ammo in a hurry before going back for drinks and a heap of good BBQ food. If you have enough of those sessions to justify it then great. Otherwise I suspect most folks will find that it is a fancy that passes fairly quickly.

HEY! What about finding a used one from such a person?

Consider too how a slide fire stock is used. It uses the same trait of bouncing the trigger off the shooters finger using their arms as the springs for the system. So using a slide fire stock doesn't give you an automatic machine gun effect without some practice. Alter the way you hold it or how much push you use and the whole cycle seizes up. So it's not as automatic a feature as the suppliers would have you believe. It DOES make it a bit easier than using your own grip to do the same thing with the regular stock.

Hope you get one, or two. Ammo is not some precious commodity that holds great reverence. I've got a D. 650 and Who knows how many thousands of cases. A hundred or two bucks worth of my reloads allows me more than I'll shoot all day. I suggest you also get a nice 100 or 80 round mag to go with your project. Heck, burn out a barrel. So what? Last I recalled your not going to take your money with you. Resetting your trigger and using a belt loop really does work. Even if you don't lighten up the trigger. It's just a bit easier to learn how to hold the thing. It just doesn't have the same "Rambo"! We have a lot of cliff coves where the rangers and alike allow anyone to shoot anything. The larger coves have trees and shrubs. We take a compressor and blow up 12" balloons and tag a few hundred in the branches along with anything else. Binary stuff is also allowed. To or three guys with hundred round mags and bump stocks is an awful lot of fun! Once a year there is a city wide clean up. All the four wheelers and shooters go out and we clean up everything. Great times.

I want to say that Steve Matthews in Shotgun News altered one of the slidefire or the bumpfire stocks in AR to fire 9mm (or maybe it was .22 LR--I forget) in one of his gunsmithing articles during the last year. Might find it in the Shotgun News compilation for that time. Probably find either round more controllable and somewhat cheaper to fire.

During my service, we had the three round burst type autos. I found it more irritating than simply firing semi-auto three times.
