Vulcan 223?

SG_Niner
At the local shop yesterday and they had a Vulcan 223 for $1100
Came home and checked the broker and they had one for $775 starting
bid.I never heard of this brand and would like to know how it stacks up against bushmaster/armalite and others and about the price?
It was similar to this one but had more rails and a better shoulder stock. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=75739462
I did not leave empty handed,re-stocked my ammo with the wifes blessing!

    I never had one but they have a bad rep. For 1100 you can get a DPMS, Bushmaster, or RRA. And great customer service. I also have an Olympic that has been a great rifle for me.

    Even for $775+, you can get into a "known" brand ... so you are not jumping in blind.

    Try asking about Vulcan over at AR15.com

    PASS, do not try to save $100 and waste 700
    do a search in experts
    inconsistant quality, out of spec parts, gas holes, takedown pins not lining up etc

    i was planning on an M1 for the next purchase, but i figure you at least need one .223 rifle, and as i dont have one, i think im gonna go with a stag AR. im really only looking to spend 700-800. any ideas about the stag, not trying to hijack the thread but i beleive were both in the same boat.

    Since we are on the topic, what, if any, are the major quality differences in RRA vs Colt? I am looking to get an AR and was considering both but with a preference to the Colt.

    stag is fine, most are the same with different stamps
    RRA is my fav now
    Colts are good, but overpriced and I hate the non milspec front pins on the civillian models
