The VIS-3 is going to be phased out in favor of the new VIS-KM (Keymod). They should hit the market soon.
Rainier Arms has one in stock. PM sent.
Crazy sales going on, but vltor still lists it as orderable on their store?
I thought, from the email, that it was more about another company discontinuing their use of them on some of their offerings or straight-up sales, and not that VLTOR was discontinuing them. Tempting, either way...
(I'm only not naming the 'other company' because no one else has and I don't know the protocol for that here.)
Stick, I received this info from a VLTOR dealer. If it's incorrect, my apologies for posting that.
the standard VIS is not being discontinued at this time and will continue production until the KM model is released, so there will be an overlapping phase. the intention is indeed to phase it out eventually and focus on the KM, but that's not going to happen anytime soon (it's frustrating vltor as well).
the obvious question that came to my mind was: how come vltor can continue production on the VIS and not just switch production to the VIS-KM? the answer is that the KM is made on different tooling that doesn't yet exist, and that's still in work. the prototype KM's you've seen pictures of were all machined from billet. the production handguard portions will be extrusions.
