+1 - Looks good, but I couldn't do it.

it's your money enjoy

Nobody here would ever admit to owning a Vulcan, even if they did and loved it, posting something like that would be against ARFCOM policy.

Some guy named Todd...


Bailey...

AND FURTHERMORE....


I asked the same question ONCE, and I learned not to ask such silliness, even if it looks cool.  I won't ask again.

WTF is that.

I would love a rifle with these specs. There’s only one word in that whole write up that I don’t like and that word is a dealbreaker for me…

Anyone want to guess which word that is?

Give you a hint, it begins with the letter “V” and ends with the letters “ulcan”

On paper, it sort of looks just like an AR-15.

Synister1 <-- so he's the one.  I heard there was one guy here.  Now we know.....
Actually, glad to hear you have a good one Synister1.

So whats the problem with vulcan? Can somebody fill in the noobs like me on this? thanks.

Quoted: So whats the problem with vulcan? Can somebody fill in the noobs like me on this? thanks.

From what I gather, its not the Vulcan that's the problem, its some guy named TODD.

Wow, cheap too.

Quoted: So whats the problem with vulcan? Can somebody fill in the noobs like me on this? thanks.

Basicly, Vulcan is a substandard product.  Especially when stacked against similarly priced offerings from manufacturers with a history of quality.

OK I'll bite... whats wrong with "TODD"?

nope

Quoted: OK I'll bite... whats wrong with "TODD"?

He's an angry retard with the gunsmithing skills to match.

So what if Vulcan became an AR15.com sponsor?

Fixed.

Vulcan is the devil.

I don't trust Hesse quality. Some jackass ordered 6 of their AR10 clones on my dealer's license without notice, and I got to check them out before the FFL called him up and told him he's sending them back to Hesse.

The quality is lacking, the fitting is off, and stuff as basic as the selector was screwy (two of the six didn't work at all with the detent and spring installed - the selectors fell out, and one more had a terrible feeling selector)

Stay away.

vulcan = hesse; the compoany that changes names to get away from their reptutation of terrible quality.
