The Poor Man’s SAW

Karl at In-Range TV on why a Slide-Fire stock, a heavy barrel AR and an length adjustable bipod can make a cheap squad automatic weapon that you don’t need an NFA tax-stamp for because you are just bump-firing a semi-auto rather than using a select-fire weapon.

I’m guessing you could build this for under $1K (closer to $2K if you use the Gemtech HALO suppressor as shown in part of the video) if you shop around and do the work yourself. Of course, even with a heavy barrel you are gonna get too hot to trot after a few hundred rounds and you are gonna want it to be free-floating to avoid a flame up or meltdown, but still.
