[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2776326, member: 313"] The last Vais brake I had made was done by Ron Bartlett. He was a pleaure to do business with. I'm not confident that he is producing Vais brakes anymore. Here is the Vais/Barlett story which was found on the net: "Vais Arms was purchased from George Vais by Ron Bartlett in 1999. At this time the company was incorporated under the same name because of the association of the Vais name with the muzzle brakes. Ron Bartlett is the owner and operator of Vais Arms, Inc. Ron's career in gunsmithing began when he graduated with an associate degree in gunsmithing from Trinidad State Jr. College in Trinidad, Colorado. After graduation he was employed by Dale Wise Custom Guns in San Antonio for four years where he learned some of the finer points of rifle barrel work .From '71 to '74 he worked for Robert Kleinguenther (now KDF) as gunsmith in charge of quality control. In '97 Ron decided to try the Vais muzzle brake since brakes were getting more popular all the time, and the Vais brake was advertised as being quieter. After making initial contact with George Vais he was invited to order the brakes direct. The Vais brakes were soon so popular with customers that they insisted on no other brake but the Vais. After a friendly two and a half year business relationship with George Vais, George informed Ron that he could no longer tolerate the pollution and food additives in our country and wanted to move back to his home country of Greece. The business in its entirety was offered to Ron. After Georges asking price was met and a non-compete agreement was signed the business was transferred to Ron." [/QUOTE]
