An immovable force met an unstoppable object, lightning crashed like a phalanx colliding, and the sea ran red with the blood of heroes. Or something like that.

AK-47 Bumpfire – New Aluminum Chassis – SlideFire Solutions – SHOT Show 2017
BY Paul Helinski Updated: January 23, 2017I reviewed the first AK bump stock back in 2013, and I never got it to the point where I was comfortable, like with an AR. I found that the trigger pull is longer with an AK, and scratchy, and it just isn’t a fine tuned machine like even the worst AR trigger. This year SlideFire Solutions, the inventor of the slide stock, came up with a solution. They made the block out of aluminum, and included a buffer system inside.
