I didnt realize they came with a fancy hardcase. I also noticed the bumpstock isn't included
I'd love to know how many of these were actually built before SF went tits up. This is the 4th Slidefire - BFR that I've ever seen for sale

No rating seller on a highly desirable item. I would bet those pics are lifted from another sales ad of a legitimate sale…

I believe Valkrie Arms made those for SF back in the day:

Slidefire bought the property rights for their improvements and they patented some other improvement together iirc. No idea who did the actual manufacturing, but there are some differences between the 2  models, I assume improvements to make machining them easier. The VA version is not interchangeable with the Slidefire version, there's a difference externally where they sit in the lower receiver.

I'm assuming the ejection chute not requiring the fin and the notched links was the collaborative patent , which is a huge improvement because notching the links sucks. Standard 249 links, if you get most of them off the ground at the end of shooting its okay. With the notched links, you're counting every one to make sure you get them all picked up and looking around some more just in case.

@Jadgkommando

To Slidefire? Or VA? How many total if you recall?

I shouldn't claim "all", however I sold them several hundred at a time there were not a lot of Colt's to be had.

I have one I will be listing in the EE shortly, built off of a virgin receiver lower (so, not rifle nor pistol, can be transferred separately as lower) equipped with a FosTech binary finary & a 3D-printed M249 bucket adapter...should be up within another week or so
