Vulcan stock

"nvelkhunter"I want one, however with a black synthetic stock. Bullpup's with black uppers and stain wood lowers just doesn't "flow" for me. Not sure why a traditional long gun black and stained combo is ok and not for bullpup, but what can I say?
Oh, and I'd like to save about a $150 over Walnut versus synthetic.
Must agree, bullpups work so much better with synthetic. Someone needs to buy one and finish it with the same coating as a PLB Colibri.

Can't say I'm a massive fan of the Vulcan's asthetics anyway, they've managed to recently produce a bullpup that looks like it was designed 20 years ago.

What is ugly and old looking is the stock, both the design and the unimpressive wood that they use. Bullpup makers should have that craftsman Vit guy supply all their stocks based on what they charge for the pups these days. If AA can put the wood they do on a $650 TX200 springer the pup makers sure as heck could too.
 
I'm a self-confessed weight-weinie, so am constantly looking for less weight to carry up the mountain. I agree with you, MrAirgun, that synthetic, specifically carbon-fiber, is the obvious choice for a bullpup design. I mentioned this to Tony Belas a couple of years ago (long before the Pulsar) and his response was that they tried it but didn't like the aesthetics. Looking at the aesthetics of the Pulsar I have to wonder about his definition of the term, but then beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I, on the other hand, think carbon-fiber weave is beautiful in a tactical way and observing all the folks who're wrapping the shrouds with carbon-fiber tape, I'm not alone. You could design a beautiful carbon-fiber bullpup stock that would weigh mere ounces! Just not sure why none of the high-end builders haven't explored this.
