"Slide Fire" on the 15-22?

First off, I'm not sure if the Slidefire would even fit on a 15-22. The way it works is that it moves back and forth on the buffer tube. Additionally, I contacted the manufacturer regarding using a 22lr upper and they said that it was not reliable as there just wasn't enough recoil.

No issue as of yet, it's 50 states legal since you still need to pull the trigger for each shot, it doesn't mess with the internals at all.

How many ranges would allow you to shoot with this device? I'm guessIng not many if any at all since it is basically turning the gun into an automatic weapon.
I've never shot with one of these slide fire devices but do you actually pull the trigger for each shot or is the recoil causing the trigger to fire? Looking at the video I doubt there is anyone who could actually pull a trigger that fast. Plus most ranges have a No Rapid Fire rule.
It wouldn't surprise me to see the official "approval" letter pulled on this device which is clearly walking a thin edge on legality.
I do think it would be cool to shoot occasionally. But in my area someone would call the cops and then you would have to go through the hassle of convincing the authorities it is legal.
Each one is sold with letter from ATF. They are going for mid $300 and up. Found lots of info on web about them, even the lawsuit that Akins has for patent issues. Gun shop I frequent has a few and owner uses it on a .223. Says it works good. But still waiting, remember Akins device was sold for awhile with ATF approval then they changed their mind and over night it was a no-no to have.

so even after they changed they're mind the ones that had already been sold did they get grandfathered in being as how at the time they were acquired it was legal to have?

You can go to their website they have info on how it works. No springs, that is what makes it different from the Akins device. The grip and stock are one piece. There is a clip with two flanges at bottom that connects to base of receiver where grip bolts on, the stock and grip slides over the buffer tube. It is essentially a bump fire stock. Your finger rests on a block and you have to pull the gun forward, when you do it goes bang, recoil pushes it back, if you are still pushing gun forward then you are sliding it into your finger again and so on.
