49erlife, get rid of it before it blows up in your face.
Vulcan, Blackthorne, Hesse, all the same company. Likely also Velocity Arms, definitely also known as akpartskits.com at one point.Last edited by Merc1138; 11-13-2014, 9:04 PM.Comment

Stay away from...
Hesse Arms = Vulcan Arms = Blackthorne Arms
They dissolve and reform, in order to keep selling their crappy products to unsuspecting consumers.sigpic

How many rounds through the rifle? How big is the bolt gap? (Is there even a bolt gap left at all?) Could be worn out rollers from whatever parts kit it was built from. More likely though is that the trunnion steel softened during the re-weld and has worn out in the pocket areas where the rollers lock into. Hesse rifles have kind of a reputation for doing that. If thats the case, you might get a few more miles out of it by going to some + sized rollers, but eventually that will fail too and the rifle will make a nice lamp or toilet paper holder at that point.U.S. Navy (Retired) 1994-2015Comment

I have owned (3) hesse AR10 lowers and (1) vulcan V15 A2
The V15 was not bad, I lucked out
the AR10's were back in the day and vulcan had taken the time to send a pinned example to CADOJ and had a letter of approval from Iggy
They were absolute crap, but they had a letter. I looked at them as 81% lowers LOLComment

They've been sucking out loud for almost 25 years now - I'm amazed any of their firearms are still in service. OTHER than as 'spare parts,' that is.sigpicComment

I did some research on the 50 BMG's they made and they damn near killed a few people. One guy had the bolt launch back into his should and another dude lost several fingers from the firing pin detonating a round while loading it. Bad juju. That's when they were Vulcan...Comment

True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.
Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!
