To the owner's of the slide fire stock

[Squirrel Master]

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?

The new design fits without modification.

Thank you GN! Next on the agenda... a cool optics sight

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.
