Vortek CFL on hold

Looks like they have tabled this project citing supply chain disruptions due to Covid19.

The shop is right up the road from me. The owner cited problems obtaining grinding and finishing services as the reason he had to put it on hold. But he also said he has both R9 and TX200 versions in the works. And he also let me try out the HW30 version. Unfortunately I don't have a baseline for comparison, but I could tell it had a very linear cocking behavior and the recoil was just a little push straight back. He said the gun I tried was set up for around 9 ft-lb. All in all pretty impressive.
