My New Vulcan
I bought this Vulcan a month or so ago. As you can see I am more into function than beauty. The last few days, I set it up how I like em. The LOP was a good 1.5 inch too short, as I am 6’4″ tall & have a 15.5 -16″ LOP. So I added 1.5″ spacers. I may make a piece of wood later on, for more durability. I like to carry by bullpups on my right side under my arm. I always use a short length of paracord between the snap & rifle. Keeps it quiet. I don’t like to hook my sling to the scope base , but have. On this one I actually have the front portion of sling attached to sling attachment on the rail under front of rifle. The only thing the sling attachment on scope rail is doing is keeping my rifle in the position I prefer. I find I like my rear sling attachment point to be close to the butt of rifle. With these two points of attachment the rifle carries exactly how I want & I can have it to my shoulder in a second. Since I don’t have the mag in the way I mounted this scope as low as I could get it. I used Seekins lowest rings, think they are the 0.82, but not sure. I have a very good cheek weld on this rifle now & I am on it without any head twisting or movement like some rifles I have owned. The scope is a March 2.5-25×42 MTR-3. I sold my March 5-32 x52 as it was just too big for this rifle. The scope throw lever came from MK Machining. I used a squeeze plastic clamp for the SF , I still have to put numbers on that. I might change the cocking lever of rifle to the other side even though I like it on the left side. It may get lint & dirt in that area from riding against my dirty hunting jacket all day. Oh, never shot it yet.

Really as bad as I remember I should do the same thing.
Yep same name on whatever forum I happen to go on. I was just wondering why. :8:
That is pretty good, we have a 6 a day limit here. I don’t limit out as much as I use to. Think I only got my limit one day this year. As to my user name, No reason, why? Not trying to hide anything that I know of, LOL. I am on about 10 forums I think I only use the same name on two of them. Maybe AGN & GTA. I never gave it a thought. Do you use your same user name on all the forums you get on?
Nice! Couple years back we bagged 18 squirrels in two days with our Vulcan.
I see you go by another name on another site. Any reason?
Tree Squirrels in the hills of West Virginia. 99 percent of my shots are fired standing while resting my rifle on the side of a tree. I usually walk and only stop long enough to shoot or rest. I quit big game hunting 10 years ago and now hunt squirrels. Back to my childhood. I find bullpups to be the best animal for this approach. I also have a Colibri & a Wildcat.
Oldkid, where are you hunting and for what?

Yeah never content. Once when I was about 14 or so. My father gave me an RG .22 Peacemaker. In the 60s that was ok. Using a vise grip & dads old metal cased 3/4 inch Milwaukee drill. You know the one with the bad cord & they would shock the heck out of you. I drilled & tapped the frame & put a base on it & put a Weaver scope on it . Then added a stock, which I made easy detachable. That was my coon hunting gun for awhile. You had a very minute field of view, but 12 year old eyes are wonderful. It was like looking through a S&B or Swarovski today. Funny thing was most of my neighbors had never seen a scope on a rifle at the time, let alone a pistol. Dad said that was ok, but I better not touch his MI Garand, being an old Marine he loved that thing.
