I was looking at buying a Vulcan Arms MP-5 clone for around $800 and wanted to see if anyone had one of these and if they were any good??? (Accuracy and function)
Thanks,
Mike

Avoid the Vulcan stuff, just renamed Hesse garbage. Pony up a little more cheddar and get a Bobcat version

I heard recently that Bobcat is owned by Special Weapons. I think way to go would be Vector or Ohio Rapid Fire.

Affiliated, not owned. Basically they had a disagreement about where their market should be focused. Use a lot of the same parts

I guess Kimberkid has had good luck with Spefal Weapons, Bobcat I think is ok. I agree, have heard nothing but problems with Vulcan in the past. Maybe the got better since then. I do see they offer a Galil clone that tempts me.

Haven't heard anything about their quality, but I'm leery of anyone who claims to have mil-spec gear at cut-rate prices.

Actually, as far as the Bobcat or SW stuff goes, it's about the same price as an HK94 would be if they were still imported. The Hesse/Vulcan stuff is usually disturbingly inexpensive though[:0]

I've heard good things about Bobcat and SW.

Just wish I could afford some of their wares right now.[:(]

Thanks for the info, I also talked to my local shop and they also said Vulcan had issues. Last thing I need is an $800 jam-o-matic.

Be prepared to have each and every magazine for your new Vulcan or Special Weapons hand tuned, and it's not as easy as it sounds.
