I am actually uploading my worst BF video. Mostly for the LULZ and so that if other people are having trouble, that they not give up.
I wanted to clear something up. I am no expert regarding all things AR-15, but isn't there a difference between "hammer follow" where the disconnector fails or cannot engage, vs "premature trigger activation" that we see in the Bump-SAWs? |

Two thoughts,
First, the JP Silent Spring set ups might work to adjust ROF, they offer a kit to "tune" the spring power to your needed strength. Not sure if anyone has mentioned that, yet. Second, kind of an off shoot from the topic, have any of you guys tried those trigger cranks they make? I wonder if you could employ one in a similar, IAR role as the bumpfire stocks are being used. |

I've seen some home made ones, but they were used on belt feds, attached to spade grips. Wouldn't be too hard to modify the design to mount to a trigger guard.
Regarding the actual thread topic, are you guys getting reasonable accuracy with the bump stocks? I thought they would be wildly inaccurate, due to the whole gun jumping around. |

I am regretting doing the traversing test and putting it first on my latest video. I makes the gun seem less accurate than it really is, because I was making a conscious effort to move my POA from left to right as I shot. Next time out (hopefully this weekend) I am going to do a legit 100 round accuracy @ exactly 100yds. I'm going to do it nice and slow so that I can see what the optimal accuracy actually looks like. |

Have any of you guys tried firing one off of a tripod, or pintle mount? I've seen the videos with bipods. I don't have one of the stocks, so I'm kind of stuck envisioning things in my head.
I do have a bunch of extra bits and pieces laying around, I might give it a go at rigging one up. |

Shhh, don't crush my fantasy. I read tripod, but I didn't want to read tripod. Getting back on topic, I don't see why the tripod couldn't be made to work, if a bipod was made to work. Maybe work out a setup of rollers that the gun would attach to?[list=1]

Hey guys, where are you getting barrels for these "bumpsaws"
I was thinking about one, but I would want a 20" (i guess 16 or 18 would do) HBAR with a true (not moly) chrome lined barrel and chamber, as well as a 5.56 chamber (not .223 or wylde). Anyone have a good source? |

This thread has been very helpful. I have had a bump gun for a few years now, but the videos have inspired me to take it to the next level.
I bought a PSA premium middy with a heavy barrel, DD rail and an Atlas bi pod. Does anyone have experience with using the Atlas for a bump gun? I selected it because the YouTube reviews show that it has some front to back play. I'm hoping it works out good for this. A little about my current setup. I have the SF stock on a mega lower with a SD3G. It runs great with the CMMG middy upper. I had some problems (hammer follow?) when I put on my Noveske middy upper. it's a lot heavier with monolithic upper, aimpoint and VFG. It had a slower RPM than the lighter CMMG upper. What would cause light primer strikes with the slower RPM? |

I am not convinced that the rate of fire is the sole reason that you experience that hammer-follow/early trigger activation. I think the actual geometry of the SD3G is a big culprit. With it's flat shape, it actually sits further forward in relation to the finger tab of the bump fire stock. I think that small detail causes a lot of headaches. I am sure there are a ton of points I am forgetting, but in my experience the SD3G is almost too good of a trigger for the job. Let me know how the Atlas runs. I am looking at my second Bump-SAW and it's between that or the Tango Down bipod. |

I will post pictures and video when I get a chance to take it out. It might be a few weeks or so. I have a newborn at the house so it's hard to get away. In the mean time please check out the video I watched and let me know what you think about the play it has front to back.
2:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm-9tzaaHXI&feature=youtube_gdata_player Edit: also how do you think it would work to extend the finger shelf on the stock another 1/8" to compensate for the SD3G trigger being further forward? |
