SlideFire v.3 General Availability

[WilsonFlyer]

I've seen the promotional videos but (at least as of a couple of days ago) there's not real mention of it on the SlideFire site.

Did anybody hear anything about general availability at ShotShow or from any other reliable source. Funny they would promote it without so much as a hint of when it would actually go up for sale to the GP.

Looks really nice. Anybody know anything?

Thanks!

Inventory.

Probably want see much until they get rid of all their old inventory. Just a guess, not sure.

They could send some of the old stock to UK, that would help to reduce the stocks on US side the pond.

received an email from slide fire a couple days ago and the new 2015 slide fire stocks should be available around 1st of april they said to keep checking their website. Had heard they will be selling for around $299.00. Have old one on my 15-22 will probably order the new one for my mp15 as I really like new features.

I don't know that the new design will make much difference to the average owner as it is just a"TOY".

I have a SlideFire stock. I got the kit for the 15-22, but I have used the stock on my AR (with its factory trigger) as well. I had been considering getting a second 15-22 kit, using the trigger on my AR, and selling off the stock.

The major disadvantage of the older design is that it is just not well suited for conventional usage. I don't find the stock to be comfortable with regards to the length of pull, the pistol grip is a bit ungainly, and the finger rest gets in the way. I remove the stock most of the time and use conventional furniture, only installing the SlideFire when I am specifically going to use the rapid fire functionality.

If the new stock is comfortable I would likely leave it on all of the time, only removing the finger rest for conventional fire. If they were to make the finger rest extension lock in and out with just the press of a button that would make the new stock even more desirable. I think they really have something here!

I am going to wait a little while since I think the new design will sell like hotcakes and the price will probably be high until the initial demand is satisfied.

If the current kit price gets even lower I still might get it since I really like the trigger and for just a few bucks more I get a stock that I could probably make a little money on, but for the next few weeks I will just sit tight and save my money to see what they will do.
