Is this legal?
Slide Fire Stock

Local fun store has them, and my dad swears by his.  They work well, but I don't want a trip to federal prison, if I can help it.

Comes with an ATF letter, but still.....

Saw that in SWAT magazine this month and was surprised.

There was a huge thread on this right here. Have to find the link.

Supposedly the local ATF guy checking records at a gun store saw one, took interest, verified that it was approved and then bought it for himself.

From what I can tell, it's functionally no different than swingset's bumpfire stick.  2x4 with a dowel rod in it.

Just alot more polished.

If it looks like folks are having fun with it, the ATF will soon ban it.  



Because they can and have no oversight.

They're EXTREMELY fun. Almost as nice as a happy switch.

ATF also "approved" that 10/22 stock before "disapproving" it. That approval letter is useless when they issue a new one saying the opposite.





Yes I know the difference between the stocks, and that they are not the same.

They are legal for now.  Very popular.  Way overpriced.

I remember the Atkins stock for 10/22, 1919 thingy and so forth it was legal for a short time then it wasn't, people had to turn in a part and it was basically an expensive stock with no function. Bill Atkins got shafted on an invention and the rest is water under the bridge.  Approval letters are worth nothing when the ATF changes their mind.

I agree with everyone that the ATF should be store where they sell stuff and regulate nothing.

Seems to me that if you have an atkins stock, you could mount a VFG to the action and it would work just like this one.

I just think if they're going to regulate anything they should be held to the same rules of precedent, method and evidence that any of the rest of us in LE (or the court systems) are. Lacking that, keep the bomb and arson guys, send the couple of decent 2A freindly (or at least non-hostile) to the Feebs and kick the rest - especially the tech branch - out of anything having remotely to do with LE, except maybe working in the cafeteria.

I'd buy one if it wasnt so fucking ugly

It reminds me of those lame body kits that were around in the late 80s
