Many have been following the development of the new Bren 10 clone that Vltor has been working on.

I paid in full for two of these pistols when the distributor first started encouraging their dealers to get a waiting list set for the first years run of these pistols in February. Bass Pro required you pay in full, and fill out the 4473 in order to get on the waiting list. Expected delivery in June.
Delays have happened and the second expected delivery date was published to be September.
Today I talked to Vltor on the phone about the pistol. First I was told to contact the distributor for information. Well, I felt that that was a way to get me off the phone and leave them alone, so I persisted. Why not get the information from the source, them?? After a pause, while the nice lady on the phone talked to someone else, I was told they are not even working on the pistols.
Same lame comment about government contracts as they spouted before. Now this counters their statements that they were in final assembly, and are just about here. I understand the troops need their weapons and they might be busy, but come on, the panic has been over a long time now. Just about the entire industry is struggling to move inventory. Prices have fallen and everyone is caught up, but them???
What makes this worse is they have not updated their website regarding this stop in production since June. They even stopped accepting comments when they started getting called out on their promises.
I want the pistols more than I want my money, that is why I purchased them in the first place. So, no I don't want my money back! That is a chicken stuff response by the company to defer their responsibility for telling a lot of untruths to the public.
I went through this with a 50 caliber rifle, and now it seems that I am going to face even a longer wait and more missed deadlines with Vltor.
This was so much a "done deal" even Fjestad's Blue Book has them listed as if they were out. They got taken into believing Vltor's line also.
They very least a responsible company would do is update the web site and say they have zero idea what they are doing with them, and not to expect a delivery anytime soon.
Rant over.
(If some one has a contact at Vltor, please ask them to join up and address some of these issues. Thanks)
