Vulcan owners of AR smiths

I posted this request for information over on "The Art of the Rifle" and will ask the same here.

What I'm looking for is responses only from those who have work on owned or do own and shoot Vulcan Rifle or who have used Vulcan parts. I've read a lot here and on other forums about how big of a piece of crap that vulcans are. I've read more first hand reports that were positive than negative. I've only found two guys with first hand knowledge of a problem they had. I understand that they changed the name from Hesse to Vulcan. The Hesse rifle that I've seen I was not impressed with. But that was just the looks of the finish of the casting. The newer Vulcan lowers I've seen were much improved, but still no firsthand input from owners.

I'm not interested in what anyone has heard or rumor.
I'm looking for specific problems anyone has experienced.
Not looking to buy one, just looking for facts.

I have a Vulcan AR15. I've put about 3,000 rounds through it with not one problem. It is accurate as I can be. The only thing, I can't get it to "bump fire" like the videos you see on YouTube...
