Also: Heard from a friend that slidefire/bumpfire stocks are up from about $99 to almost $1000 in some cases.
BTW: Bump Fire Systems - http://www.bumpfiresystems.com/
Per their site: "Due to extremely high demands, we have temporarily stopped taking orders to better ensure customer service."
Also from http://www.slidefire.com/ - “We have decided to temporarily suspend taking new orders in order to provide the best service with those already placed.”
I just want one to tweak the elites, who say I shouldn't have one. Kinda how I got into AR-15's, and I really enjoy those now :-)
If you need to blow a bunch of ammo for no reason at all just to make it sound cool, you can do the same thing with rubber bands or bungee cords or someone with a beer belly as in “Hey, hold m’beer and watch this!”
I get better results off of Armslist. Probably sell five to one what I do on Gunbroker.
Now that I know they’re a bunch of p**sies I might stop altogether.
I’ve got to remember that line about the stocks selling like “cornbread at a chili fest.”

Staple’s and Office Max must stop the sales of all rubber bands!
Still, I will never bow to political currents.
I'm just glad that the guy spent all his money on tricked out AR's and didn't think to buy a Barrett M82. That and a few rounds of tracer into the jet fuel tanks across the street from the venue would have done a lot more damage.
Yeah, I’ve been keeping an eye on those sites. Nice of them to jack up the price before removing them all together.
Franklin Armory’s BFS went up by about $100, and they’re still available.

.......for now.
there’s no reason in the world for GB to do such a thing,
it is ridiculous and a disservice to their customers
and sellers alike
GB-— get real!
I remember that Cheaper than Dirt went squishy at some point back during the Obama years and the response from customers was less than positive.
Don’t know if they ever recovered as I never went back.
Gunbroker has reconsidered it’s position as stated below.
“Initial reaction from the industry was that support of bump stocks was PR disaster. However, the industry and NRA have softened their stance and asked regulators and Congress to make a decision as to whether or not these items are legal. As a result we have changed our position to allow the items to be sold as long as they are sold in full compliance with state and local laws.
As a seller you should be aware that bump stocks / slide stocks are not firearms and are almost certainly not protected by the Protection in Lawful Commerce of Arms Act (PLCAA). This means that if you choose to sell these items and get sued over their use or misuse, you will not have the PLCAA to protect you.”
With all the gadgetry that is devised for both the AR and AK family of firearms, I am sure glad that we lever-action lovers do not attract that kind of attention!!
Sure, they don’t have the same rate of fire!
Sure, they don’t chamber AR or AK family rounds, unless you a Savage 99!
And, of course, they don’t hold the same number of rounds in the tube magazine!
But! They do come in pistol, and heavier than .35Rem calibers, and still look just as cool as when John Wayne had one in “Stagecoach”, or James Stewart in “Winchester ‘73”, or Robert Duvall in “Lonesome Dove” with his Henry.
Though it ain’t an AR or AK, would you prefer to be ‘hit’ by a .45-70, instead?
I would NOT!
There was a casino hotel fire in Altantic City back in the early 1980’s, maybe 35-40 died and before that litigation was over they were sueing the fabric companies that made the fabric that topped the table games.
Anyone that might be pulled into litigation bhere will be, if for no other reason than to shake them down for an early settlement. You want your company mentioned in ongoing litigation or might you pay $500k to see this go away. It’s up to your insurer.
Ultimate, this might be a demand of there insurer, this or a 30% policy increase.
With only the weapon and no other device, I can bumpfire any semi auto long gun in my bare hands. Kid stuff.
For good or bad the writing is on the wall for these products, hope these two companies have additional product line to stay in business.
Just visited GunBroker...searched on “bumpfire”...found 116 results.
That was thru their app.
Show the STUPID legislators why their state is now called FloriDUH!!

No need for a Bumpfire stock. Amazingly fun! Accuracy is naturally compromised, though. Short handgun cartridges have the highest cyclic rate, since less bolt travel is needed.
Bumpfiring is 100% legal, and safe in a properly maintained modern sporting rifle. Some gun ranges do not like it, though, because they feel you don’t have adequate control of the firearm. I am sure that could well be the case of you bumpfired a cartridge anywhere from 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester) on up.
