Seems Slide Fire is suing Bump Fire over their stocks. Pretty interesting read.

I think Bumpfire might have stepped on their d**k!

I find that interesting. I will be watching. Assuming that Slide Fire owns the patents related to the way that stock works, given that, I am VERY interested in hearing why Bump Fire believes it is in the right...if, in fact, it does. Superficially, both items seem to operate exactly the same way. Unless the patents cover other things, not the mechanism that allows for rapid trigger use, I don't quite know what Bump Fire can say....but I'm sure they will have a thing or two to say.

Skimmed through the PDF and didn't see a dollar amount. How much are they suing for?

 

[HoughMade]

A dollar amount in most complaints, other than a jurisdictional amount, is an attorney's advertising gimmick. They are suing for whatever damages they can prove.

I was unaware. Thankfully I've never had to find out that type of information first-hand.

Bump Fire is offering their stocks on their web page for $99. Sounds like they are wanting to generate some quick cash!

I think they are a neat concept and the bump fire is metal so that is a plus.

So, how many bought a Bump Fire for $99.

Besides affording the stock you have to be able to afford the ammo to make it useful...that's a real drawback to those of us not able to fall back on the largess of taxpayers.

I would if they had their AK model out and available.

Me too. My 74s would love it.

For the price compared to slidefire that is hard to pass up.

I'm thinking Christmas gift for my brother.

Is that what your going to tell your wife.

Somehow the quantity changed to "2" when I placed the order. Weird.

 

[Lebowski]

Ah!

Crap. I want one now. Question: With the bump fire stock, how simple is it to just do one shot bursts? Local range disallows rapid fire, and I do not believe this is the bump fire stock that has the option to lock into place for a solid stock configuration, correct?

I may buy one anyhow for ****s-n-giggles.

 

[Lebowski]

Upon closer review, it looks like you can lock it in place to prevent the bumpfire action...

Well, this will be fun.

Found this part interesting:

Slide Fire has asked the courts to:

B. Ordering Bump Fire Systems to provide an accounting of all sales activity relating to the Accused Product, together with an itemized list of all persons to whom it has sold the gunstocks, including their addresses and other contact information;
C. Ordering Bump Fire Systems to notify immediately every person and entity to whom it has sold or otherwise contracted to provide the Accused Product that Slide Fire holds the patents on the technology and that it cannot legally sell the Accused Product

The responses in this thread may help Slide Fire make its case.
