A Short Message…

Hopefully though, long on content.

We realize it has been a while, but this really is a case of “No News is Good News” — Things are moving along just fine. We did want to reassure folks that the Fortis Project is doing well, and share with you an idea of where we are.

We are making a pretty good size run of pistols, all of these are still prototype, but things are working out great!  All of the internal parts are done and we are busy cutting others… we have suppliers for the grips, magazines and every part that we are not making — and as all along, this stuff is as good as it gets.

But heck, talk is cheap… everyone likes pictures; so here are a few, we’ll be putting more up and sharing some more details of the Fortis release soon. Thanks for hanging in there…

Fortis Barrel Bushings... these are great, probably no part captures the look of the original Bren Ten like these castle bushings. These are great looking parts!

Here are some of the smaller parts... hammers, struts, sears and more.

Not quite as shiney as the other parts... these are the heat treated pieces of bar stock that are used to make the slides. The pieces of bar stock are rough machined before heat treating, this is what they look like ready to go back into machining.

Again… thanks for hanging in there, and thanks for all of the great comments; we are working to make sure that the Fortis is everything you hope it will be. The Vltor Team.
