You missed the point of the thread, I did not say that the 2x4 was the best there is, the point I was driving at, while attempting to be humorous, was that this really is a very simple concept, and there is simply no reason to run out and spend money on it. When the slide fire first came out i remember that not only were people willing to pay $300, they were willing to wait on back order lists for the privilege, when there was simply no reason to. What the slide fire accomplishes is literally so simple that a couple of red necks with a 2x4 can do it. Is the 2x4 nice looking, or practical, no but neither really is the slide fire, and it certainly is not worth the $300 people were paying. Give me a telescopic stuck, a pistol grip, a couple L brackets, some screws and a power drill and I can build you your very own slide fire in about 5 minutes. Just remove the lock from the collapsible stock, hog out the pistol grip and connect it to the stock with L brackets and there you go, total cost: less than $50 and no wait. For that matter you don't even need anything at all, if I feel like wasting ammo I can bump fire just fine with just my finger, so can anyone. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

If you can't do simple automobile repair, how do you feel comfortable advocating for people to build slide-fire stocks, as well as claiming to be able to make your own? Loosen two hoses and pull some bolts... reverse with the new radiator... it's literally easier than putting together that bullshit from your video. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

OP, all the money you "saved" yourself from buying a Slide-fire, you spent on having to pay someone else to bolt in a new radiator for you. A mans got to know his limitations. I was never raised around car repair, it was not something I took part in, watched, paid attention to, or had any interest in growing up. I never had auto shop. I have zero experience of any kind working on cars. I can not afford to disable my daily driver when I, who am forthright to admit when I am out of my depth, fuck something up. Replacing a radiator my be simple to you, but it is not to me. It is just not something that I know how to do. I really don't see what is so difficult to understand about that. So yes, I paid a mechanic. Loosen two hoses and pull some bolts... reverse with the new radiator... it's literally easier than putting together that bullshit from your video. First, it's not my video. Second, if I screw up with my stock, the worst thing that happens is I need a new stock, which is something I know how to fix, if I screw up my car I have no way to get to work short of walking. Also, I have experience working on guns, I have NONE working on cars, it may be easy but you still do not grasp that what's easy for you, as one who knows what your doing and has done it before is not easy for me who has no idea how to do it and has no experience. COULD I do it, maybe, but do I trust my nonexistant automotive mechanic skill enough to risk my sole means of transportation? No. It really is not difficult to understand. |

The primary reason being your time is more valuable spent doing what you want. Lack of knowledge can be fixed quite quickly, you wouldn't even have to spend money on a manual as a youtube search would likely provide you with the information you need. You will never have experience if you don't start somewhere. |

I did actually, it looks like fun, but it doesn't change what it is, nor does it make it practical outside of being a range toy. That's the funny thing about the Fostech—it locks up hard in the semi mode and doesn't rattle or shake around like a plastic version, so it behaves exactly like an AR with a fixed stock. It's as practical as any other AR. *Shrug* As for what practical is exactly, I will leave that one open to the observer. I would posit that 99% of the guns on this site are range toys. The guns in the Bump-SAW threads are sort of a protest weapon. Legal, but attempting to mimic mag-fed LMGs close enough to make the NFA irrelevant. I'm not sure if you want to call that practical or ideological, but it's not *just* a toy. I made no such assertion? The whole idea of these bump fire gadgets is ridiculous. The same "selectability" could be achieved with a rubber band around the stock adjuster, but like I said, it looks like fun, and the design looks (aesthetically) cool, but I just don't think it's worth the price. To each his own. My point was just that there is no reason that one HAS to shell out big bucks for this stuff. I just view these things as a gimmick, just like the gat trigger, hell fire, etc. I'm not buying the assertion that you can get point target bursts at 250+ yards using the rubber band trick. |

So what would you need to see from the bumpfire guns to make you drop the "gimmick" label? What exactly is a practical gun vs range toy in your mind? Just curious. View Quote I can't see as anything (possible) would, but theoretically: Something that would be 100% reliable, work from any position, not fall off the weapon, and not be awkward to use, and would use a normal grip and trigger pull. |

That's the most dangerous thing I've ever scene. I wouldn't be anywhere near it while in use.
If you can't hold on to the gun it's likely to discharge every round in the mag while spinning around uncontrollably. |

No you're not a capable person, because you can't even use logic and reason to conceptualize how building that wood bump-fire thing in your video, utilizes the same skill-set that is needed to swap a radiator. Then you try to argue against my assertion, yet you don't have the skillset, knowlege, or confidence to do be capable of doing it. If you can't change a radiator, you can't build the bumpstock. If you can build the bumpstock from your video, you can change a radiator. It's that simple, and if you were in anyway a capable man, you'd know that without me having to convince you it's true.

Wow, so anybody who can't change a radiator, despite having no experience working on cars, is not a capable person. And if your not born with an innate knowledge of all things automotive than you can't even grasp something as simple as pulling forward on a stock, wow. Good to know.

I don't think you are an idiot for going to mechanic for your radiator; even when I know how easy it is to replace one. I've also built functional bump stocks. I prefer the fostech.
