    AT VULCAN Part 2

    The Vulcan is supplied in a plastic hard case with egg box foam, and four slider catches, it's length suits the 26 inch length of the Vulcan. Inside are two magazines, a selection of O rings, and an air fill adaptor connected to a whip. The manual is in the form of quality glossy paper
    booklet, with good diagrams , computer generated pictures, that look better than photos , and an exploded parts diagram. The moderator simply unscrews, hand tight, revealing the rifled 450mm barrel , which is same length in all calibres. Instructions for changing the bolt from left to right are clear. Unscrew the bolt, if it's tight, remove the O ring on the handle, there is a hidden hole for a tommy bar. Then remove the four screw on each side plate. Swap them over and replace the bolt handle, looks simple. After a lifetime of shooting right handed, with a right bolt, I thought I would give the left bolt a try, it's perfect, it's staying. The Vulcan w/o the scope is easy to hold with my usual right hand on the pistol grip, and using the left bolt is natural. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I will have to wait and see if the addition of a scope upsets the balance and weight. The Vulcan is available in ,177, 13 pellet mag .22, 11 pellet mag, and .25, 9 pellet mag. You get more pellets in the magazine as the calibre decreases. Initial fill pressure is suggested as 250 bar, I have been used to filling to 220, so will probably stick with that, not bothered about shots per fill. Suggested minimum is 90bar for .177, 120 for .22, and 150 for .25. A range of 220/120 will be easy for me to remember, and what I have been using on other rifles. Importantly, the Vulcan comes as standard with a regulator. Whilst I have changed my thinking on barrel length and bullpups, I haven't changed it on barrel rifling, the Vulcan is rifled. Overall weight is 2.9kg. I could not find any advertisements for the Vulcan, nor could I find a UK supplier. Recommendation was word of mouth. Mine came from KRALE in Netherlands, totally hassle free. Packed in supplied hard case, inside a cardboard box, inside a cardboard sleeve, inside a further cardboard box. I am not really computer literate, and could not send email ID, I posted it, for £1. I had to go to my bank for the bank transfer, they charged me £10 for that and currency conversion. I think KRALE accept debit cards, and I have heard.. credit cards. Delivery ( yes delivery to my door) was only 13.50 Euros. TOTAL cost £1,114. KRALE website and ordering form has an English version, and if you need to phone, they speak perfect English. Don't forget, when comparing prices with other bullpups, the Vulcan comes with hard case and useful extras. I remain impressed with the design , value and quality of the Vulcan. Roll on the arrival of a 'scope, and some real testing. As I wrote earlier, I am not a computer whizz, so haven't learned links yet but there is a non English video or two from Sniperqty

    Have seen and shot the VULCAN superb looking Bullpup, walnut stock and so easy to the shoulder. Tried it on paper targets out to 35 Metres and punching tight cloverleaf holes.
    If anyone is contemplating a Bullpup air rifle the certainly wouldn't be disappointed.
    Also bought my Steyr Hunting 5 Scout S/A .177 from Kralle in NL, simple procedure follow online instructions 3 options on paying and delivered full tracked to my door [ 4 Days]
    Enjoy your Vulcans as think you will be satisfied with a top notch bullpup.

    Likewise. I thought for a second this would be a review of the 1970s Webley! That does have a nice look to it and I like the left-hand bolt. Proves again that the Czechs make (a) good guns, (b) interesting guns and (c) good, interesting guns. If I wanted a bullpup PCP, that would top my list.
