I have a buddy trying to build an AR with a slide fire stock.
What upper receiver would you recommend for a slide fire stock? |

I have a buddy trying to build an AR with a slide fire stock. What upper receiver would you recommend for a slide fire stock? I'd use a melonited barrel (low wear, there are some cheap ones) if your going with a 16" a midlength gas system for slower cycle rate, and a muzzle device or brake that can keep you on target. I haven't installed mine yet but I but SBR'ed by lower and build a 4" 22lr upper for mine, and bought a suppressor. |

I would recommend a melonited or chrome lined heavy barrel (to withstand the extra heat from mag dumps). Gas port at the midlength location if you want a barrel shorter than 20". Don't spend too much on it because your going to burn the barrel out. Here is my thread on building a bumpSAW. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/655109_BumpSAW_Bump_IAR_Picture_Video_and_theoretical_discussion_thread_.html And here she is running:  |

Quoted: I say pass on the Slide Fire...with that said, if the decision to get one is set, I agree with the others saying not to spend too much on it.  |
