Got a oportunity to buy a vulcan 2 in .177. Theese guns are not on sale in any store, where I live, and the previous owner had just test fired the gun, and let it sit for a few month. So it is basically a new rifle. Could not let this oportunity pass. Did clean it, chronied it, and startet shooting it.
There was a couple of hickups first. Even the grouping was nice, the POI wandered a litle, and it was hard to cock. Also the trigger needed some adjustement. I remember my taipan veteran also was set with to long seccond stage (some say it is done that way because of safety), this gun also seemed to be setup the same way. After looking at some youtube videos, I learned how to adjust it. It take some more time to do it, than on the taipan, as it require to also adjust the trigger linkage. But I got it pretty good, with just a tiny creep left. When I had the stock off, I noticed the hammer adjuster screw was loose. It was just the locking screw which needed to be thighten. Chronied the gun again, and set it at around 890, which was the speed it had the first time I chronied it. After that the POI disspeared, the hammer adjuster had probably moved by itself, as I fired the gun previuosly. Also took a look inside to see why it was so hard to cock. It seemed to be the hammer itself, locking up when pulling the loading lever. Took the hammer out, and noticed a tiny bit of dust, on the hammer. Whiped both the hammer, and sliding hole for the hammer clean with a cotton brush, and the cocking went smoothly after that. Guess the sliding surfaces are so tight, on a new gun, that just a tiny bit of dust can make it hard to cock. That will probably dissapear when the hammer get some wear on it. Apart from thouse two initial issues, I really like this gun. It is easy to shoot accurate with, being a litle longer than a short bullpup, and at the same time not to long and cumbesome. And the gun is so far very accurate, without any tuning done.
But I have a new problem now. At least one of my other guns has to be sold, as I can not justify owning to many guns. It probably has to be my wildcat mk2. Not because it is bad, but because I already own several FX guns, and would like to keep some diversity ammong the guns I choose to keep
