Homemade Bumpfire Slide Stock (video)

Register to hide this ad
The slide fire stock is a very simple design. It must only keep the finger in a singular position and slide on the buffer tube. I think its very likely and possible to make a "homemade slide fire stock"
 
I thought about that after I posted this.

also I see you like Doctor Who, Awesome!
 
If its so easy and legal then why are people spending so much on the ugly slide fire stock. I'm just curious that's all.
 
i made one for my mp15-22 and ruger 10/22 and use both at a public range overseen by a game warden and have had police and gov workers shooting along side of me they think its cool and 1 officer is going to make his own--illegal no way just check the atf website--btw i do keep material from the atf website with me in case someone doesnt believe in the legality of it---check local laws too
 
The only thing that concerns me about the video is the complete lack of safety exhibited by the guy. Shooting indoors with no back stop except the water heater, no ear or eye protection, and who knows what a ricochet could hit. Other than that I used to think slide fires were dumb and I still do for a 223/5.56 but on a .22 I think they look fun. Not now of course because I don't have enough ammo to dump a 25 round mag and not worry about my range time only lasting 30 minutes. And, the slide fire stock is cost prohibitive right now for me. The rapid fire .22 does sound nice.

1. Because most people would rather just spend the money than to take the time to fabricate their own. Much like buying a ready-made pizza instead of homemade. BTW, when I say "easily made", I mean, no complex knowledge of gunsmithing is required to make one. If you've seen one, even just on video, then you know all that is needed is pretty basic.

2. Why would you think it's illegal if you can freely purchase (without a tax stamp) a product that is mass produced FOR its intended purpose?

3. This in no way makes the rifle fully-automatic. It simply increases the rate at which you can fire, utilizing the rifle's own recoil.

4. What is ugly to you, is beautiful to others.
 
There is a thread on ar15.com where this idea came from. Not much to it.

I have one that in progress at the moment.

Same reason people think plinker tactical sucks..they have no patience and don't want to spend the time..
 
Thanks for the info you guys, I always learn a lot from this forum. It just seemed like making a modification like that would be illegal to do on your own rather than buying a product from a company with a license for product like that.

That was just my initial thought but know I understand what you guys mean. Also I seems really dangerous to be shooting in his basement but that's a story for another thread haha
 
I hate to be the Debbie Downer, but given all that is going on right now, and the fact the Devil herself mentioned the bump fire yesterday at the Senate hearing, it makes me wish these weren't around let alone so easy to make or buy.

I'm not one to get too caught up in the doom and gloom mentaility, but if someone were to commit a crime using one a BF it'd be over for us. The liberals would have all they need to take ARs off the streets forever.
 
A strong rubber band on the trigger is all it takes on an AR. I have the ready made SlideFire pizza on an AK and it works pretty slick as well. It is all technique. With sufficient technique, it can actually be done with no modifications to the firearm.

However, from practical point of view, if someone was firing at me, I would rather they were bump-firing rather than single shot timed deliberate fire. The safest place is most likely POA.
 
It's fun to use a bumpfire stock. You can also get pretty good in the accuracy dept if you practice a little. I am guilty of sometimes wanting to have fun and using a bumpfire stock. Before these things came out I used a crank device called a bmf activator on my marlin that mimicked a gatling gun. I never really tried the whole beltloop trick because it just seemed silly to me so I guess that's how some feel about the bumpfire stocks. I did make a bumpfire stock for an ak before slidefire an fostech marketed some but I got tired of tightining up things after a few mags so I bit the bullet an bought one. I am suprised they are legal and haven't went the way of the akins accelerator yet but give it time. Tho shalt have no fun
 
Wasn't some type of bump-fire device what got Ole' David Koresh's compound in Waco, TX burned to the ground by the ATF back in the 90's? Seems like later reports turned up that all the firearms recovered from the compound were semi-auto, legal for purchase firearms.

Just sayin..... don't be the next Dave.:D

I'd rather the legislative gun-haters focus their attention on bumpfire stocks than high-cap magazines. But that's personal opinion. And don't take this the wrong way, I don't have anything against bumpfire devices. I do agree with a post further up the thread - probably the safest place to be is the POA, at least after the first shot.
 
I'm a sissy I guess because I wouldn't wanna go up against a bumpfire stock even tho they are so inaccurate, impracticle, etc. Etc. I guess the feds felt the same way about the Waco situation. Those hellfire triggers must have actually worked.....guess I shoulda got one of them at the last gunshow . Oh well since ammo seems in short supply it appears none of these devices make much of a difference until the sky stops falling .o

I was watching the same senate hearings and yup slide fire was mentioned directly. The context was that it is easy to turn a semi auto into a full auto with such a device.
 
!00% agree

I think Mainevent got it right.
The bump fire in my opinion pours gasoline on the fire.
We need to understand the antis primary arguments are based on emotion.
The faster you can burn ammo whether it is effective or not the louder will be the hue and cry.
 
I can see both sides of this argument. I have one and love it, but after the CT shooting that was the first thing I thought "thank god he wasn't using a slidefire" While I agree, it is far less accurate, it still can be managed after practice. With the .223 at 50yds I had them in a 24" group and the .22 I can have inside a dinner plate at 50yds. With my 15-22 I can actually use it while using my grip-pod and still do a full mag dump while prone using the bipod legs. And something overlooked while talking about the slidefire is that you can do as few or many round strings as you want. You can still 3-rd burst after practice so the effectiveness could still be achieved. When I bought my slidefire way before all this bad stuff started happening, it was the talk of my shooting buddies and got asked about it all the time. Even from people I didn't know. As of late, I pretty much just leave it locked up.
