Let's be realistic here, rubber bands aren't going to be banned, but if bump/slide stocks and all the other commercially available "rate of fire acellerators" are made illegal to manufacture, sell, or possess, using a rubber band to increase the rate of fire will likely be a crime. As silly as it may sound, if it comes to that, I would suggest keeping rubber bands well separated from your AR's. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe the thing is they don't have to necessarily have to catch you slinging lead downrange with the aid of a rubber band, they simply have to show "intent", and that's a lower bar I believe, from a legal perspective.

It's just like the shouldering of an arm brace was considered a crime before it wasn't.....
I suppose it remains to be seen how far they are going to go with this ban on rate of fire acellerators, and how rubber bands etc. will factor in to any future legislation.

What I was saying in my post is that there are many ways to increase your rate of fire, even by using a rubber band. Are they going to mandate everything that would do this? This is how crazy this has gotten.

The ant and rubber tree plant song is stuck in my head now.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I understand, and I agree. Like you and the rest of us, I can only speculate how this will all play out in any future restrictive/prohibition types of legislation.
I'm getting a strong sense though, that the writing is on the wall for the commercially available ROF acellerator's like bump and/or slide stocks, binary triggers and so on.
I would also presume that anything like rubber bands etc. that are perceived as a way to skirt the law on a technicality are going to be addressed in detail in any such legislation, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Yes, I think so. No price gouging for binary triggers. I would sell mine and buy 3-4 Geissele triggers if I could.

While we're discussing Geissele triggers, and not wanting to derail the thread, is their basic SSA 4.5 pound trigger a good way to go for a trigger upgrade?
I'm seeing SSA-E too. But only difference, that I can see, is one pound less pull.
SSA is available. SSA-E is out of stock at the moment. I want to retain the curved trigger to. It's for a paper punching/hunting rifle. No three gun/race gun stuff.
Thanks to all.

The SSA-E is a very fast trigger. Check out the B-GRF. It’s a steal at $140. I have an SSA-E and 2 B-GRFs and I think I like the B-GRF better. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/triggers-parts/triggers/ar-15-enhanced-triggers-prod67223.aspx

^^^Will look at them.^^^
PS: I like how they say.....Does NOT convert semi-automatic fire to automatic fire. Wonder if that's a recent addition to the description...

If you are willing to hold off for a sale you will be able to pick up an SSA-E under $190. I have seen them as low as $176 around black Friday. PSA has been running a Magpul/PSA lower build kit with an SSA-E trigger for $249 off and on since last November.

Seeing local guys in the $350/450 range.
I'm not mad at them, make every bit you can.

I think when SlideFire first came out they were in the $350 range although prices did eventually come down. My receipt from Cabelas was in the SlideFire box and it was $280 on sale in 2014. So $350 range not totally insane.
I have a bit of a problem when it comes to gouging for life sustaining items in emergency circumstances... that is what I consider gouging. These are not necessity items at this point in time... nobody is forcing buyers to shell out $1K+ for a piece of plastic that 3 weeks ago could have been bought for $200. As many others have said, it is just supply and demand. If both parties agree, it is just a fair deal.

WOW, that's cheap. I sold a Bump Fire Stock for a lot more than that.
Sorry,didn't think about it.
