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.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
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.

My Feedback
"Praise be to our prophet, John Moses Browning, who hath bestowed upon us the new testament of shooting. Delivered unto us, his disciples, on 29 March 1911 A.D."
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.

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.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
I had one, and I like rubber band better.

What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
