Anyone tried the bump fire stocks for AR/AK

Don't get me wrong jeepster, I'm not saying don't buy if that is what you want. I am just stating that this piece didn't appear to be made on a CNC from solid aircraft grade aluminum. Most of it from the you tube pictures looked like a stamped piece to me. I could be wrong as I have not seen one in person. It does what it does, it just looks pretty simple and not very expensive to manufacture. I will say it is simply cool though. I have a bike and I know I have over spent to get bolt on parts for it, but I still think in the back of my mind why so much. Because that's the price we will pay for our fun, and it gives us value for what we want it to be or do.

You pay for the R&D and the idea. A better one will cost even more. Just like the drug companies charge for medicine.

Hi jeepster, I think it's a cool idea, and on a non manufacture note I think over time there is a more then average chance the value would go up. I know from what I have seen since the 80s the tactical firearms market is robust and values have gained more than hunting arms. I will say though that I picked up a bow this winter to hunt next season. This is the first time since the 80s that I have looked at bows and man they just about had to hook an AED up to me. It would be no problem to sink a grand in a bow by the time you get everything you need for it.

I look at it kind of the way I do other purchases, say you bought a TV for $900, 6 months later it's on sale for $600, Do you curse yourself for not waiting, or did you get $300 worth of enjoyment out of the TV the 6 months you already had it? That's how I look at things because as soon as I buy something it goes on sale a month later.

While i doubt the price decreases on the thing, i figure I'll get my moneys worth in fun.

Bought one, tried it out, not really my style. It's barely even touched. Fired three mags with it. Want one at a discount? http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12484

I haven't shot one yet but my friend did. He said it was fun for a little bit but you run through ammo quick. It's for sure a cheap way to pretty much have a full auto rifle, you just need deep pockets if you plan on using it more than twice a year lol. Personally I'd rather use the $400 to get a pair of stamps for a SBR and suppressor

Can't argue with that. But it doesn't take months of waiting, LEO sign-off, or creation of a living trust to get one of these.

Getting the sheriff to sign off is easy, hard part is coughing up the money for everything else lol. From what I've been hearing the current wait is approaching 9 months! I wonder what the slidefire would be like on a 11.5" SBR with asuppressor?

I heard 6 months, but I think it varies by state. Something about how many examiners are active for a given geographical area, versus how many requests they've got.

In my area, the current sheriff is not signing, so everyone's doing the trust thing. That's easy enough (the LGS selling the NFA stuff makes it super easy - they have a prepared form and are happy to help with the process). The money wasn't such a big deal for me. The hardest part for me is the waiting.

The hard part for me is the cost of the flippin silencer. I am currently doing a bit of research and I believe I am going to build what is known in certain circles as a freeze plug can for a 22lr.
