Vltor VIS update
Production version update – All three versions (carbine, midlength and rifle) of the VIS are now in production and available. Very little has been changed from the pre-production prototype shown above. There have been minor changes to the lower handguard and a re-designed latch. Instead of a small hole for bullet tip, the latch is now bent over to allow anything that will fit in there to be used to pry it up. It’s tight, and designed that way, as the lower handguard isn’t meant to be removed and replaced all the time. Provisions for mounting an M203 has also been added, and a rear mount is supplied with each kit. When I wrote the preview above, I wasn’t able to disassemble the upper, so I’ve shown more photos of the un-barreled receiver below.
