How can these be legal? If they are, next thing on the chopping block?

I personally don't care if the slide fire stocks get banned but I will be very angry if they ban the high capacity magazines.
I've got both and I would hate to loose either one. [8D]

bullshot, so I take it you think the Slide Fire Stock is worth the money? Is it very difficult to transition from semi- to full-auto?

Therein lies the problem. "I don't care if they ban something that I don't use." Kinda like some hunters that don't care if "assault weapons" are banned. Here is a quote to chew on:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

No, not hard at all. You will throw a lot of money (in ammo) down range with one of these but if you are ok with that, it'll be the best $300.00 you ever spent. the other legal alternative is a $15,000.00 rifle and about $300-$400 in fees and taxes.
The Slide fire stock is a bargain in my opinion. And if they do become illegal, won't matter cause you will get your money's worth the first time you take it out to shoot.

That is a lot of money for a stock with a spring in it. I suspect the price is mostly profit and to try and get as much money as they can before China infringes on the patent. Is this of high enough quality construction and materials that one could say it's worth the price beyond it's 'novelty' function?

It's all plastic, no spring. No it isn't $300. worth of plastic but it is worth $300. if you want to fire (almost) full auto.
It's like anything else, it's value is simply "what it's worth to you" Worth it to me.

Yeah, it seems like it would be fun to try out but after the whole hellfire trigger leading to the Waco Siege thing, I would be concerned about the noise using such a device would make, even if it is legal. Perhaps if I lived near a desert or something.
At present it meets the ATF requirement of one shot per one trigger pull, condensed explanation but basically the ATF rule.
Its basically a stock that for the most part does the "bump firing" for the operator.
A friend of my SIL bought one....works very well for what it is.
I enjoyed the snot out of it, simple and works well!
IF you like full auto, you should like this furniture.
Worth it?
Personally I wouldnt give $100 for a box car full of 91/30 Nagants where some people happily pay more than that for one, depends on what an individual is willing to pay to have fun...[;)]
Like this subject has never come up before, where the hell is Kevin when you need him.
Can't be everywhere at once....

Legal for now, overpriced, but legal.
I've thought of getting one for my AK for the heckuvit tho, but that gun bump fires for itself if you don't hold it tight
Did anyone notice one of his first comments(00:25), he put the stock on his ar15 pistol. Now he has an illegal sbr.
Unless the pistol had 16" barrel [:)]
They are legal because nothing but the operator's trigger is firing the gun in quick semi-auto mode.
Next on the chopping block? Well, let's just say the more concerned you are [about this aspect], the quicker you will purchase one.
Conclusion: it allows a person inexperienced with bump-fire to become proficient [in bump-firing] quickly.
Now, a caveat..you should have the type of AR stock that uses the castle-nut to secure a takedown pin spring retaining plate. The plate is not part of AR's that use A1, or A2 stocks. See paragraph below.
It won't work on an AR that has the standard A1, or A2 stock, as removal of the stock to install the slide-fire stock will allow the takedown pin spring to fall out.
Also, it's lefty-righty specific. Make sure which one you are ordering, especially if you wish to shoot lefty. Best, Joe

The firearm he is using certainly is under 16", closer to 7.5
You know those gsg .22's that looked like the mp5? The batf come out and said the fake cans on those could be made into real cans, so they made the mfg redesign them. There was a recall issued on the originals and if you sent yours in you are genuine *. A very very good friend of mine has one and he made the batf register it. He didn't even have to pay the $200 but he now has a nfa stamp on a fake can. Which means he can make it a can anytime he feels the need.
