I saw in the flyer from FAC that they have some ar-15s with a 1-7 twist flat top but with hesse recievers that are not alum but some kind of Glock type material. Anyone heard, seen or used one of those? Thanks in advance. |

Cowdawg, I have had TWO of them. The first one, the bolt broke. Noticed that it did not close without a little friction. FAC took it back and sent me another. Noticed that where the gas tube goes from the forearm and then into the receiever, it was obviously not in-line. I called them back and waited 3weeks on a Oly and they were having trouble getting them in. Asked them to send money back which they did. I now have a Bushmaster that I bought from a friend. Noticed that the bolt closes a lot easier and smoother than the Hesse (Vulcan). Personally, I wouldn't do it. The two that I had were made of that poly-fiber stuff. First gun I shot around 50 rounds through it before the bolt broke. Didn't even shoot the second one. I would just stay away from Hesse (Vulcan) if at all possible. Save your money and put a little more $$$ and get you something that you'll be glad you waited for. Lost out on my original shipping charge and a LOT of headache. Had $600 tied up in it and 6 months without a gun. That sucks. Take my advice and others, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HESSE (VULCAN). Please. John |

I built up my own Kevlar Hesse lower and it has been fantastic. It was the easiest to assemble and I have built 6 lowers in the past. I did use a RRA Match Trigger and Bushmaster parts for the assembly. I cannot account for the parts used by FAC but the Kevlar lower itself is great in my experience. Bob |
