Blasting VLTOR on Face Book!

  What's the projected cost and what capacity?

Given all steel construction I suspect it will be in the 1000-1200 range. Capacity should be on par with the original which I think was 10but they should be able to squeeze at least a couple more in there.

Originally they said the intended to keep it under $1,000 as I recall.  And use Witness mags.  Where those too stand I don't know.

Let me preface the remainder of my comments with the following:  I like many VLTOR products.  I also really hope they bring the Bren Ten to market.  I would certainly buy one, even if it meant selling a kidney.

That said, this most recent release is weak sauce.  Regardless of financial situation, internal turmoil, production interruptions, etc. the certainly could have communicated clearly the issues they have, and produced a revised timeline, even if it was "indeterminate at this time".  Further, while they may or may not have authorized Spirit Guns to begin taking pre-orders, they were in an agreement with them to distribute, and VLTOR did not comment on the pre-orders.  Silence is consent and therefore they did consent.  Or, they are woefully out of touch with the 10mm community.

I hope they do turn over a new leaf.  I would love for them to produce a sanitized version of their production plan with the weekly (or at least monthly) milestones that need to occur to hit a target date in "late 2014".

But, as someone who works full time in product R&D, I can say they have no idea when they will actually release a product.  If they wanna make me eat those words, lets see the project plan with dates, and lets see it updated for at least the next 100 days with actual progress towards a release.  At that point, I will gladly dine on some crow.

sqlbullet, I concur...my & other people as well, posting on VLTOR's facebook page, did what I wanted it to do! 
It sparked a reaction, Facebook is viewed by many viewers, and the shot but flamboyant post pinned with an attached picture was not going unnoticed.

This led them to either make an announcement of some sort or ignore it...BTW they even opened their Weblog info site!  Therefore it started a reaction and only time will tell if they will act on and actually produce products or have egg on their face.

I am still in the hunt of procurement should they produce them at reasonable pricing.  We all know RIA is producing quality 1911 pistols around $600.  If VLTOR holds to their original price points that would be even better!  I still have a copy of the pricing info that was shown in my files of all the pictures they posted about the VLTOR/FORTIS related Bren Tens.

They don't call me The SHADOW for nothing!
