Doesn’t look like they are selling to the public but to manufacturers

Was just looking over that. Minimum order of 1000 blanks for 100-series, 50 pc minimum for the 200-400 series button rifled, 10 pc minimum for the 500 series cut rifled.
Wonder who their customers are?


Any clue on who LMT sources their cut rifled tubes from..?? I know KAC does all their barrels in-house save for the LPR.

They say on their site number one manufacturer of AK barrels. Don’t know

Wow, they're in my neck of the woods! There must be 1/2 dozen barrel makers here in Wisconsin (Krieger, Bartlein, Criterion, Brux, etc). Must be the water.

Curious too who they sell their barrels to?

They are a reasonably large OEM blank manufacturer who makes barrels that are sold by other brands. We have used them from time to time, and they are clearly good barrels, I have not been able to put my finger on where in the quality continuum to place them. I know a few of the brands that use them, and most would be impressed with the barrels under those brands, and have no idea that Vortakt makes them.

Vortakt is a subsidiary of UniSig which makes rifling and drilling machinery. It's a natural progression of the UniSig business.
