vulcan? hess, blackthorne what have they changed their name to lately?

just the number of name changes should be cause for pause on that one--

if you can't give it a through inspection --i would certainly pass-- even if it passes a visual through inspection --i'm still leery--

just the name gives me images of bad head-space, out of spec chambers, soft steel, improperly machined bolts, cracked carbon fiber lowers and bursting bolt carriers-- canted sights, improperly drilled gas ports, improper pins, reject components. some of their ar-15s look to be just "OK" at best others are horror stories. i can put up with some cheap short cuts but bad barrels, and bad BCG that is not just cheap that is down right dangerous.

if they can furbar a mild mannered ar-15 that bad --would you want to risk them building a high-powered 50 bmg anything?

some people love um-- i not sure all their stuff is junk but enough of it is and enough of it has failed in a big way for me to look elsewhere.

go over at ar-15.com and type that in "vulcan .50 BMG" and see what comes up--LOL

those mall ninjas are a cry-baby lot-- but like a broken clock their still right twice a day --

every once in a while they are right.
