anyone have or recommend slide fire

I was considering buying a slide fire just dont know if its worth it. Does anyone own one or have any experience with it. just got a new job so after bills i wanna get a new toy and not sure if the slide fire is worth it or not.

They're pretty awesome. After a mag or two (or three) you'll get pretty good at controlling it. But you WILL burn through ammo super fast. Are they worth the cost? Man, that's a tough one. If you haven't used one I recommend trying one first.

Since I am not an AR expert, although I would love to be one, what damage is being done to the barrel? I imagine the other parts get worn out the same, just faster or am I wrong? I want a slide fire stock as well, but my concern is damage to the weapon. Help me out here.

If you have a quality AR, everything minus the FCG should be on par with the M4 in durability. The slide fire will be a bit slower than a true FA M4.

DISCLAIMER: I had one and after being told by sales / owner of the co they would work with me if unhappy, turned out to be a lot of hot air and empty handshakes.


I'd go and say no to buying a new one. They are out there used and most i see posted for sale do not sell, till they are in the low $2's. That shows the resale on them is poor, if nonexistent.
If you absolutely want one then buy new, if you're patient,buy used and save $100.
Most folks get bored them within 2-3 months.

as usual jim you are full of wisdom. where have you seen the used at still not sure but good to know in case i decide to go that route.

I think for the cost I may end up purchasing another gun or putting the money towards that...but I am still thinking about it.

The one I would most be interrested in would be the ak model. Set it up with the saiga. Should be a lot of fun.

I had one, and I like rubber band better.
