You have more Bren Ten materials???  Man these have me looking for more! :o
I still have some more mags to look thorough , but that is all I have seen on the Bren-ten  sofar. I have one on the Javilin, and several on the S&W models, and I think one on the Omaga. Will start putting more on here  after Xmas.

There is always this website: http://www.bren-ten.com/website/

Still despite it's troubles, I'd like a BrenTen. The look and the feel of it are great. Think the feel of an EAA Witness and you know what it is like. I wish that VLTOR will do something with it and bring it out. I do hope it they do they keep the redundant safety systems. Voit who was going to release it as the Peregrine Falcon was going to change some of that. I imagine VLTOR will too. But as long as we get it I'd get one.

BEEMER!

Vltor's President was heard saying that they still planned on bringing out the Bren Ten in 2013 at the SHOT Show last year.

Eric Kincel no longer works there but I just sent him an email to see if he has heard any rumors about what's going on.  It's a bad time of year to get ahold of some one but if I hear anything I will let you know or maybe we will just have to wait for the SHOT Show

Yea, I was one who had my coins in the BPS coffer in hopes for the VLTOR viced BT.  Bass Pro was great to do business with considering the whole ordeal.  I'm sure if VLTOR were to make them, they would still sell, but given this market and government  hostilities toward firearms in general things aren't looking well for them to proceed with the "project"! :(

The best thing was, I used the money and added a little more to procure a "Original" Bren Ten (Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises, Inc.)

I'd get an original but I just don't believe in safe queens. I'd want to shoot and/or carry it.

The guy I got it from was said to have had the slide magnafluxed and was said to have no issues, I could see where it was shot previously.  The guy I got it from only shot a few Remington sub-sonic ammo from it, but the guy before him did shoot it some as well.  I haven't shot it yet, but after cleaning up completely I would have no hesitation shooting ammo I handload specially for it.  Without replacement parts easily available it does make for more of a safe queen!  Hey that's why I have the others to shoot with.

You have a beautiful one there though. I definitely hope VLTOR comes out with one. If they do, I'll get one. Then I would call Ted Blocker for a lifeline rig for it. I still prefer to carry using a shoulder holster. My 1076 rides in a Galco Jackass rig.

Added the Falcon to post #2. Figured since it was supposed to replace the Bren-Ten, it should go with it.

I heard from Eric and Vltor will not have their Bren Ten ready for the SHOT Show but are still  planning on releasing yet in 2014.  Let's hope anyway.
