Default To the owner's of the slide fire stock

Hello. I have done lots of searching, & researching on the slide fire stock. I had the pleasure of firing my buddies M&P 15-22, and I have decided to purchase one.

My question is, I know there are a few different companies who makes the s.f.s (slide fire stock), but I ran across one in particular, that had a lock setting, that would lock the stock in place, instead of sliding. Thus taking what appears to be full auto, back to just single shot. Does your model or version of the s.f.s, have this setting? Do they all?

If you don't mind, while replying, please list the features of your stock, and the company that produced if.

Thanks in advance & kind regards,

Squirrel

I purchased mine from Slide Fire. It has a switch on the stock that allows it to freefloat or lock in place. I have not used it yet on my 15-22 due to the suggested trigger group being as hard to find as magazines. I also have 3 MOE rifles which require the removal of the QD sling mount which kinda defeats the purpose of why I bought the MOE rifle. I'll eventually use the Slide Fire if I purchase a non MOE rifle - otherwise it will go on one of my Bushmasters.

Good point RP. I didn't consider that aspect of the sling mount. I was considering the MOE as well, but I want a s.f.s, so maybe I should stick with the basic model. I do like the Magpul pop up sites, but may come out cheaper with the basic model & sites, and upgrading the sites after. Everything else in my case regarding the MOE is over kill or won't be used. I.e. sling, stock, etc... Wow... decisions, decisions.

My slidefire stock has the switch to go from slide to lock.

On my STOCK 15-22 (non-MOE), the slide fire does not work. I imagine the trigger pull is just too heavy.

You are correct - it is recommended to replace the stock trigger with a CMC or similar 3.5 pound match trigger. There is also a reversed muzzle brake sold by Wheaton Arms that adds some additional recoil.

Ok, so the MOE comes with a lighter trigger pull than the basic model? Also, is your stock made by Slide Fire exclusively? Thanks in advance.

My local Academy Sports is getting a shipment in the morning. I couldn't pay for one in advance, bc it's against their policy. I was told however to show up around 9:30 a.m. with some time to spare and their was a good chance I could grab a basic model or MOE edition. (starting at $469 I was told). I have my fingers crossed RP, as I really love this weapon!!! Picked up a good bit of .22LR ammo this morning at a local pawn shop so I should be ready to rock & roll by this weekend!

The trigger in both models is the same.

My stock was made by SlideFire.

It's the Performance Center model that has the different FCG. That one uses a FCG from Rock River Arms.

I think only slide fire makes a slide fire. I think you can make your own bump fire but I've only seen videos with a slide fire. I bought mine from these people SSAR-15, Free Shipping, Free Sling Attachment, Free Butt Pad | Valkyrie Armament I bought my trigger from Triggers

Mine works great esp with cci ammo. I can dump a black dog drum or promag 32 rd mag. Only problem is finding cci on the cheap.

I own a slidefire and put in a timney 667 trigger with kns pins. I also made a call to timney and they sent me a small thin metal plate (for free) that goes under the trigger. I have never shot the gun so I can't say it works! Maybe one day I will shoot it. Not until ammo re-stabilizes. I'll save what little cci ammo I have in case I need it.

Thanks for all the help fellows. I researched in older threads, but was double checking that I am up to date on these stocks. I noticed in post from 2009-2011, some guys were saying they have to shave the stock some to get it to fit & function properly. I think a few guys mentioned an oversized trigger gaurd on the older 15-22 models. I assume though, it was a problem of the past. The new slide fire stock, and 15-22 attach fine with no mods correct?

Robbie does good work, the trigger job and muzzle break will make an M&P 15-22 hum with the SLIDE-FIRE.

It's funny you should mention that, bc my original plans were to have an EOtech functioning with some pop up Magpul sights. In order for this to work (off subject, sorry) what height riser should I use on the EOtech?

You should not need a riser.

It looks like Slide Fire makes a stock for AR-15 & the M&P 15/22. My local Grady's has these stocks in stock, but I think they are for the AR-15. I asked an employee if the particular stock would fit the M&P 15/22, and he said yes, but he didn't look a day older than 16, and the older gentlemen couldn't tell me much either. They put it on an M&P15 not to be confused with the 15/22. Anyone know for sure? I'm wondering if both work, but the M&P15 version is the one that requires modification to fit ???

Best advice at this point I think is you need to do some reading. You don't seem to have even basic knowledge of the rifle, there is a wealth of information on this site. Take some time and search and read, you'll be much better off.

The standard AR will fit the M&P 15-22 I had one and after having Robbie Wheaton replace the trigger and add the muzzle break it ran flawlessly. If you are talking about Grady's in Anderson, save yourself some time and just call Robbie, he is in Powdersville.

I used to swap my Slide fire from my M&P 15-22 to my M&P 15 Sport all the time.... But I was shooting WAY to many .223, even thou I re-load .223

So Now its dedicated to my 15-22


Also swapping back and forth made it harder on my technique for the 15-22... and kept thinking my 15-22 was having issues... when it was really just me... so easy ta dump mgas in a AR15 but even with timney Trigger still takes some technique with the 15-22

So keep that in Mind also


Love the slide fire... Stupid Retarded Fun Times for sure...

That's the best news I heard all month! I had plans to contact him about the muzzle break, and it turns out, he is 5 minutes up the road . My Lucky day! Thanks HudgeHog.

You are correct. I do not have much basic knowledge of the rifle, or any for that matter. I am here to learn however. Sorry to annoy you with my questions about the stock, but I have searched and read previous post. Watched tons of videos. The problem is, most post and videos are out dated, and most products have been updated. So, as a guy who is just getting his feet wet, it becomes a little confusing. I am taking advantage of the knowledge provided by the sites members, but if there is a contradictory post, or a topic that is out of date, or I have a question that I can't find the answer to via post, or video, then I feel it should be ok to ask the question.

I called Slide Fire, and they said all the stocks were on back order anyway. I then asked if the 15/22 model would fit a standard AR despite the sku # difference. The answer was "NO". I was told they have different SKU's for a reason. That being said, not a few moments later, I am hearing guys that swap them from a 15/22 to a standard AR on the regular. So when it becomes unclear to me, again, I inquire.

I apologize Blades. The last thing I am here to do is annoy anyone. I just felt with my lack of knowledge, and a two sided answer from the "people" & the "company", it would be ok to post the particular question.

That's my wallets biggest problem, he is only 5 minutes away from my office. He is also a great guy to deal with.

Ok, here's the deal from my experience anyway. I have a slide fire SBS stock. I easily switch it between my AR-15 and 15-22 MOE. If you look on slide fire's website, you will see that the one they have for the 15-22 is the same SBS stock. The only difference is that it is in a kit that includes a 3.5# trigger and a recoil enhancer. Like I said though, the stock is the same.

When on my 15-22 MOE, the only thing I did to my rifle was take off the quick disconnect for the rear sling mount. Not the mount itself but just the quick disconnect. Then I added the JP yellow trigger spring kit. Thats all. It works pretty well too. Needs a little practice to get used to though. I have heard though that changing out the trigger itself to a lighter pull unit is best. I just didn't have the extra money at the time to buy it.

I am not annoyed Squirrel, sorry you thought that. I read your earlier posts and thought you didn't have much knowledge about the rifle. When I read the later post you made about the AR stock not fitting, I came away from that one thinking you know even less than I first thought.

The stock question has nothing to do with it having a special stock for the other. The same works on both, they both have to have mil-spec tubes to work.

I thought the best advice was for you to read for several hours today. I think you need to learn the weapon first and the toys later. read read read....search search search....ask ask ask.

I saw rifle, slidefire, trigger assembly, eotech. From what your plan is your throwing ballpark $1800 at a weapon you have no clue about. I was trying to get you to see that you need to be in serious research mode.

As far as the eotech goes. I have two eotechs and one aimpoint that still has enemy sand on it. I love them both and wouldnt trade them out. But for a .22 rifle you don't have to spend $500 on an optic. Your 15-22 has maybe %5-%10 percent of the recoil of an ar-15. There are scopes out there that will hold 0 for hundreds less. Your choice of course, just putting it out there for you to consider.

The stock question has nothing to do with it having a special stock for the other. The same works on both, they both have to have mil-spec tubes to work.

I thought the best advice was for you to read for several hours today. I think you need to learn the weapon first and the toys later. read read read....search search search....ask ask ask.

I saw rifle, slidefire, trigger assembly, eotech. From what your plan is your throwing ballpark $1800 at a weapon you have no clue about. I was trying to get you to see that you need to be in serious research mode.

As far as the eotech goes. I have two eotechs and one aimpoint that still has enemy sand on it. I love them both and wouldnt trade them out. But for a .22 rifle you don't have to spend $500 on an optic. Your 15-22 has maybe %5-%10 percent of the recoil of an ar-15. There are scopes out there that will hold 0 for hundreds less. Your choice of course, just putting it out there for you to consider.
Good to know I wasn't pushing your buttons Blades, as that was not my intention. You are absolutely right. Instead of making impulse decisions, I really do need to sit back, reasearch, learn, ask, retain, then perhaps purchase. I am not ashamed to admit, at this point, I don't even know how to field strip this weapon. However, I am determined to learn. This is my first rifle, and after comparison & research to the other available AR style .22's, I knew the S&W M&P 15-22 was for me. Appreciate the wake up call.

It is too bad S&W no longer offers their fully modded 15-22 with stock-3.5#trigger and reverse muzzle break.

With CCI Mini Mags in a 50rnd drum it is a blast. An old timer was at the range last week and came down to my lane and demanded to now what is all this "rock and roll" he is hearing! He said it with a smile..and was intrigued by the gun.

The only difference is that it is in a kit that includes a 3.5# trigger and a recoil enhancer. Like I said though, the stock is the same.

When on my 15-22 MOE, the only thing I did to my rifle was take off the quick disconnect for the rear sling mount. Not the mount itself but just the quick disconnect. Then I added the JP yellow trigger spring kit. Thats all. It works pretty well too. Needs a little practice to get used to though. I have heard though that changing out the trigger itself to a lighter pull unit is best. I just didn't have the extra money at the time to buy it.
That's exactly what I did for exactly the same reasons and I've been very pleased with mine. It's not like I keep it in auto mode all the time. It takes some practice and I know it would be better with a complete trigger assembly and a reverse muzzle brake but that's more money than I wanted to spend just to dump a mag or two during range visits just for fun. Could it be better? Yes. Worth another $400. Not in my opinion.

I understand that. However if you go to the Slide Fire website, they have one displayed specifically for the 15/22, & another for the regular AR with different SKU #'s. Now given they have the same mil-spec tubes, you would think they all would co-exist. I was informed by Slide Fire that they would not, but I can't understand the logic to their answer.

So then I thought, ok, maybe he meant it will fit, but with modification b/c of the the trigger gaurd. In older post, lots of guys were shaving down or modifying the slide to get it to work.

Anyway, the reason I was asking is b/c Slide Fire stocks are on back order from the factory, and a local store has two in stock. But, the SKU # is that of the one the Slide Fire employee said would not fit.

When you hear something does fit, and then hear the same thing doesn't fit, and to add, you're already new to this, it becomes confusing. I would like to purchase one, but I wanted to be sure it would fit before I shelled out $400.

They all work. The only one that didn't was the 1st version of the OGR, which would fit it you shaved a little material off. Any of the SBS models will fit.

As has been said repeatedly, it will work. Having said that, if I were dealing with a LGS and they wouldn't take it back if it didn't, I wouldn't do business with them anyway. Maybe it's just me.

Post #10 shows exactly what you need. When you click on the link. It's the first slide fire pictured. It's very easy to install. That and the trigger.

For the hell of it I went to the website. The different sku number is for a "kit" for the 15-22. In the kit they list the exact same sku as for the ar-15. What's the problem?

M&P 15-22
Includes:
SSAR-15Ž SBS (Right or Left Handed)
3.5# Curved Trigger
Recoil Enhancer
Interface Block
Hex Key
Instructions

AR-15
Includes:
SSAR-15Ž SBS Rifle Stock. (Right or Left Handed)
Interface Block.
Hex Key.
Instructions.

Apologies blades. I kept referring to it as a SKU #, when in fact it was the actual part number. For the one listed under the 15/22 the part number is 30-100. For the AR-15 that looks identical (SBS style) the part number was 10-020.

I see now, it's because the one listed under the 15/22 is a kit. Includes muzzle break, and trigger kit. That explains the part number difference, but it doesn't explain why a customer service rep said the AR-15 part numbers are for AR-15's, and the 15-22 part numbers are for the 15-22's and would not interchange. I guess they hire people and don't expect for them to have product knowledge.

It seems some people (myself including) aren't fully up to speed on these. I went to a LGS and spoke to a guy in his 30's. He has been an employee there for as long as I can remember. After speaking to a kid on the subject, I asked him about the Slide Fire stock, and if it would fit the S&W M&P 15-22. Today, this is the answer he gave me to my face, with a straight face... "No sir, the model you're referring has a different size buffer tube. Or He may have said it doesn't have one at all. Infact, it won't work on any .22 rifle. There isn't enough recoil on a .22. It's made for the real deal AR." I politely told him thank you, and walked away thinking, clearly he doesn't know about the muzzle break, and trigger. And/Or hasn't been on youtube, like ever

Sorry to ramble. Once the "Owners of the slide fire stock)" posted, I realized then to listen to them. Despite the incorrect info from the company & employees of the LGS.

Ok, so the original SBS did fit on the 15-22, but had to be modified because it hit the trigger guard. The SBS V.2 (version 2) was put out for that reason and has a cutout to fit around the trigger guard. The SF website doesn't mention V.2 anywhere I believe because they just produce all of them that way now. The SBS looks way better than the OGR anyway IMO. Just get the SBS, even if it's not a V.2, the modification is very simple, spend the money on a good 3 lb trigger, and as Stav would say "Have stupid retarded fun all day long!!"

Really, if you're going to do it, spend some money on a trigger. It'll save you hassles and frustration in the long run.

Oh and you DON'T need the reverse muzzle break if you get a trigger. Keep them threads free for a suppressor.

How fast can you count to 50?? Looks like it works to me! And yes the first two double taps were intentional.

Sorry but S&W never offered an AR15-22 setup like that. Not sure who might have gave you that story but no 15-22 has left the factory with a trigger pull less than about 5-7 pounds, even the PC model which is the only non-standard model they have ever sold. And S&W has never sold one with any kind of muzzle brake, reversed or not, only flash hiders and they are not the same thing.

You are correct. I meant to say SlideFire offered a 15-22 in this configuration.

I saw this posted the other day on facebook by Georgia Gun Store 6789065821

COMING SOON...Slide Fire M&P 15/22.
The rifle comes with the Slide Fire Kit already installed
the Slide Fire SBS stock, their new recoil enhancing barrel attachment to ensure function, and a 3.5 pound trigger $950

This way would save you some monies.

Slide fire is fun, BUT, do you have all the ammo you think you'll need for 2013? Several ammo makers have already said that their entire output for 2013 has been sold.

I shot about 900 rnds downrange yesterday so yes I have concerns about ammo availability.

I have a little over 10,000 rnds of 22lr including 4000rnds of CCI Mini Mags. I am good through to next winter.

OK I give up. I installed a Slidefire stock on my MP15-22, finally after waiting for like 45 days I got my CMC 3.5 trigger and also scored some CCI Mini-Mags and even lubed up my stock...sounds a little nasty. Still cannot get my gun to do any rapid bursts over 3 to 5 rounds after running like 400 rds, through it. The Slidefire is coming off and going on my Colt M4 this week unless someone here has a tip or a trick that I am not aware of.

I have a S/F stock,, works perfect on my M&P AR ,, I have not tried it on the 15-22. But,, from reading through this thread I suggest that you install one of the Wheaton Arms recoil enhancing muzzle devices,,,, just a thought....

Look at this link and try the sliding your hand along the handguard as shown in the video. Maybe that will help.

Technique is the Most important Part... Like in that Video.. you really dont GRASP the Rail... I use an angled foregrip and literally hold the Rail/Grip with my 1 Index Finger..

Others have done well holding the Magwell also...

Just Practice and Practice... once ya get it.. Full Retardation is at yer finger tips... Literally..LOL
