Slide Fire Solutions and it’s president Jeremiah Cottle, owner of the only approved patent for bump stocks, announced on Tuesday that it would cease production. A notice on the Slide Fire website reads:

In the wake of the tragic shooting in Las Vegas two important shooting organisations have released a joint statement calling for a review of bump fire-type stocks.

Slide Fire debuted its own belt fed AR-15 at Shot Show 2017. It is a modified AR15 with a detachable belt receiver.

Slide Fire announced the company had teamed up with Colt Competition on a new CRZ-16 variant called the CRZ-16 Bump Fire Rifle. The new version of the gun, as you might expect, is equipped with a Slide Fire SSAR-15 MOD stock that allows the shooter to “…achieve simulated full-auto fire without compromising safety or accuracy.”

Outdoor Hub posted a video of an AR equipped with a slide fire stock. They film it at 2,000 fps. It is pretty cool watching the AR cycle in slo mo and seeing the whole gun slide back.

In a twist with their usual designs, Slide Fire Solutions came out with a completely different approach to their rapid fire bump fire stock systems in the SSAK47-HYB. Unlike their other models for the AK and AR, which have a very simple appearance, this one is actually made from aluminium and accepts aftermarket or standard issue AR platform telescoping stocks and pistol grips. The design wraps underneath the receiver, replacing the previous grip with a setup to accept AR grips. It still has the famous Slide Fire switch that unlocks the mechanism to place it in a rapid bump fire mode, although the new one has much less sticking out than the previous one. And of course, the AR tube allows the stock to be set at normal locking positions, without hindering operation of the bump fire. It also has a QD mount built into both sides. Overall, I think it addresses some of the concerns with their other products in that they alter the appearance of the firearm substantially and look almost flimsy. MSRP is going for $299.95.

Slide Fire is a Texas-based company that was started just a few short years ago by a USAF veteran, and in those years they’ve grown substantially. The company is known for their Slide Fire stocks, which are often referred to as bump fire stocks, but they go beyond simple bump fire. The way they’re made allows for significantly greater accuracy and control than with traditional bump fire, something I can attest to having used them myself. A great deal of time and effort went into these stocks, in fact, when Slide Fire was designed by founder Jeremiah Cottle it had to be approved for sale by the BATF. Cottle says the “honor, commitment, and perseverance” of the United States military is something he takes to heart and puts into his products, and in 2015 he has a new stock that promises to go beyond the success of previous models.

Slide Fire was set up at 2015 Industry Day at the Range with a number of rifles sporting their SSAR-15: OGR, among others. As the company itself says, the SSAR-15:OGR was designed to allow shooters “to shoot as quickly as desired, in a safe manner.” The company’s founder, Jeremiah Cottle, is former USAF, and he puts his military drive and dedication into each and every one of Slide Fire’s products. The SSAR-15: OGR is a fantastic system for bump firing your gun, and using it is easy to master. It can be easily installed on AR-15s with carbine-style buffer tubes. MSRP is $299.95 although it’s currently on sale through their website for $259.95.

Early on the Slide Fire queue had a line, and for good reason, everyone wants to test out how easy the Slide Fire stock really is to use.
