The Bumpski: Bumpfire Stock for AK Pattern Rifles
I guess since the SlideFire for AR-15s, the folks with AKs wanted a way to more quickly turn money into noise:
And it’s aluminum.

Gotta say, if anything is going to push these bump stocks over the edge, its gonna be an AK-47 one. Esp in 12Ga.
That said, if the ATF doesnt crack an egg and see in the yolk that these are suddenly illegal, These stocks are well on their way to the normalization that FA guns deserve.
Cool stock!

One of these days some company is going to make one at a low price, make a killing, and give the ATF a super field day, by letting the cat way out of the bag.

Don’t forget that slidefire came out with an AK version of their stock.
I love competition in the marketplace.

Linked over at my sorry excuse for a blog. The Military Arms Channel on Youtube did a review of the Slide Fire AK stock (in general he does a lot of good stuff).
My biggest concern about bump firing an AK is that the protective tail on the bolt carrier will allow the firing pin to be contacted before the bolt is 100% locked (but only a few degrees from it). A full auto sear on an AK won’t allow the hammer to drop until the bolt is closed. While bump firing an semi AK, the hammer is free to release as soon as the bolt clears it and at a bare minimum it results in a higher cyclic rate than a real full auto AK (as the video Uncle linked shows). Basically the hammer maybe moving forward while the bolt still is. Now, the bolt may be locked enough at the point the bolt carrier tail is out of the way to hit the firing pin to prevent an OOB), and if the tail isn’t out of way due to the hammer following too quickly, the hammer strike will be usually absorbed enough result in FTF due to light primer strikes on hard military primers. But my gut tells me a lot of AK kB are due to bump firing with an out of spec trunnion or bolt where the lock up is loose (and I bet there are a lot of AKs out there that way). However, I can’t really back that up with reported incidents, just my mechanical theory.

Money into noise.
I know, the days of 80 dollar cases of 7.62×39 are long gone, but half the fun of having a gun is, well, to have fun.
When I do make it to rifle ranges, I try to reserve one mag at least for a “dump” just because.
But to buy a stock for that purpose? Nah, but points to creator for their creativity!
I do recall that when the semi auto 1919’s were pretty new, some bright guy designed a tripod adapter to allow it to basically bump fire….but I believe it had a separate trigger, and it wasn’t around very long. Neat concept, but fell afoul of the “committee to determine if your blaster could be too much fun without the appropriate paperwork”.

Certainly saves money on targets.

RS, these have been proven to be fairly accurate, given that there is more bracing required for firing like this. At least on the AR version.
With a decent muzzle brake, it should be good on the AK platform as well, all OOB issues aside.

Holy crap, that’s expensive!
