Have you ever heard of bump firing?

[Rick Lee]

Just heard about this two days ago and am off to the range in another hour to try it out with my M4.

I'm afraid I can't spare the amount of ammo it would probably take to get as good as this guy is. But it looks very cool. I wonder if doing this will get earn me a visit from the BATF undercover thugs at the range. It's 100% legal, but I'm sure someone will want to check out the rifle.

I saw a guy doing it at one of the ranges here with an M1 carbine.. Looked impressive. I havent tried it yet. Like you said .223 is too expensive to go through like that.

Legal, but he did make some mods:

rickhawk00l: On an AR15, and only on an AR the buffer tube is part of the operating system. But you must make it so that a stock cannot be attached. I have cut the lug off the back and plunged the screw hole. You can also attach a cap to the end.

aface4radiofreemusic: Rick, I have a Colt 6450 Ar-15 9mm, with the standard collapsable stock. As it is, will it bump-fire from the shoulder with this configuration? Thanks! And, love your video.

rickhawk001: Yes it will but I found that with the short gas tube I had a lot of rounds fire prematurely and would balloon out at the bottom. This causes a malfunction and is a potentially dangerous situation. The longer tube seems to allow the bolt to travel longer before the weapon springs forward and back into your finger. I have standard tubes on mine and they work fine. If you have trouble let me know I can make a couple suggestions.

I wonder if my 10/22 has enough recoil to make this work.

[VINMAN]

Doubt the 10/22 kicks enough to work.

Lemme go down on the basement and try.













J/K!

Looks like it'll work:

Here's a "how-to" video. I understand the California legislature is working on an "anti-bumpfire" bill...

With a good trigger job it will.
Not the creepy stock trigger.

Ha ha! I'm sure anyone who would shoot at people would be deterred by an anti-bump-firing law. I mean weapons charges really out the fear of God into criminals.

Nah, I'm kidding, but I wouldn't put it past them once they see these videos!

[Rick Lee]

Ok, off to the range now. Will report back in a few hours.

Here's a "shoestring" mod that replaces your thumb:



And here's how to do the same using a rubber-band (however rubber-band must have been manufactured prior to 1986):

Hey, that's how my nail gun works. It'll do a nice little dance on the wood if I hold it lightly.

Do you have any idea how many times I almost nailed my foot/hand to the floor with an accidental "bump-fire"?

[Rick Lee]

Well, I couldn't make it work. Not once. I don't know if I need a trigger upgrade or what, but I tried everything. Just didn't work. On top of that, the $10 battery in my Millet Zoom Dot scope was dead on arrival, so I couldn't even do some target practice with it. So I stuck to my Remington 700/.30-06. What's the trick with these s/a triggers?
