I am thinking about building a slide stock similar in concept to the slide fire solutions one. But instead of having a stock that moves back and forth I am looking at just making a buttpad with a couple of springs in it to help with forward movement.
Anybody build something similar to this or envision any potential problems?

No problem other than ATF considering it an unregistered machine gun!

The springs were the reason the Atkins Accelerator stock was  ruled a machine gun.

Got it, I hadn't thought about the fact that a spring might make all the difference.  I really do not want anything to do with the ATF.  I had heard of the Akins before but thought that his design was much more complicated than mine was and was  the reason for the issue.  But if I already got a 2x negative response and will kill the project immediately.
