Vortakt Expands Manufacturing Capabilities

Monday, January 19th, 2026

A Single-Source Solution for OEM Pistol Barrels

Menomonee Falls, WI (January 15, 2026) – Vortakt Barrel Works announced an advancement in its manufacturing capabilities with the installation of a new Okuma 5-axis machine that enables the company to produce fully finished pistol barrels for OEM firearm manufacturers.

Building on its established production of pistol barrel blanks and semi-finished “lollipops”, Vortakt can now provide OEMs with a streamlined, single-source solution for finished barrels. The investment reflects Vortakt’s ongoing commitment to manufacturing technology, operational excellence, and its “OEM Promise”.

“One of our goals has always been to expand our offerings in ways that align with our OEM customers’ requirements and finishing preferences,” said Chad Weister, Managing Director. “By adding 5-axis machining, we can now deliver fully finished pistol barrels that meet our customers’ precise design requirements while also supporting the operational efficiency they depend on.”

Key Advantages of the New Capability

• Fully finished pistol barrels are now available to OEM firearm manufacturers

• Precision 5-axis machining for finishing operations to customers’ exact specifications and drawings

• Seamless progression from barrel blanks, semi-finished “lollipops”, and finished barrels

• Reduced lead times by consolidating barrel finishing that would otherwise require outsourcing or internal secondary operations

The addition of this Okuma 5-axis machine further positions Vortakt as a high-capacity, forward-looking partner for both established and emerging OEM firearm manufacturers.

“This investment elevates the depth of our machining and finishing capabilities,” added Weister. “OEMs can now rely on Vortakt for more of their barrel needs, supported by the same consistency, accuracy, and service they have come to expect. Investments like this ensure we stay the first choice for OEM firearm manufacturers.”

XTech Tactical Stands Firm: Continued Support for California Patriots Amid New Regulations

Sunday, January 18th, 2026

Gilbert, AZ – January 10, 2026 – XTech Tactical, a leading innovator in firearm accessories, today announced its unwavering commitment to supporting gun owners in California despite the implementation of Assembly Bill 1263 (AB 1263), which came into effect January 1, 2026.

AB 1263 introduces unconstitutional requirements for onlinesellers of firearm parts and accessories, mandating identity confirmation, a signed acknowledgment provided by the state prior to shipping, and adult signatures for all deliveries. In response to these new mandates, many manufacturers and smaller retailers have opted to cease shipments to California entirely. However, XTech Tactical refuses to abandon its support for gun owners in California.

The company has long prioritized supporting its neighbors in California through innovative products, competitive pricing, and solutions designed to navigate unconstitutional laws imposed by those seeking to undermine the foundations of our great nation. “We view halting shipments to California as a surrender signal to anti-constitutional lawmakers, emboldening similar restrictions in other states,” said Jeremy Deadman, Co-Founder of XTech Tactical. “As a company, we will not contribute to that narrative. Instead, we choose to stand with our customers and continue providing the high-quality accessories they rely ondespite the costs placed on us.”

XTech Tactical remains resolute in its belief that continued support with shipments to California, rather than withdrawal, is the path forward for preserving Second Amendment rightsnationally.

To accommodate the additional costs of these shipmentsimposed by AB 1263, XTech Tactical is implementing a new California-specific shipping policy that increases the shipping cost of the first item ordered from $5 to $15. In a further show of support, the company will offer free shipping on all orders over $100 destined for California addresses. Further, the company is adding 10 products that are legal to ship to California in the first quarter of 2026, making that $100 mark easier to hit.

Current Top Sellers to California Include:

MTX 365 +0 – Grip Extension for P365 Standard Frame

MAG19-10 – upgraded over OEM magazines for Glock 19

MAG17-10 – upgraded over OEM magazines for Glock 17

MAG26-10 – upgraded over OEM magazines for Glock 26

MAG47 10/30 Series –Strongest and most compatible US made AK magazines

Additionally, the company has further enhanced its dealer program to FFL’s in the state to make its products even more accessible.

XTech Tactical encourages California residents to visit www.xtechtactical.com for more details on compliant ordering processes and to explore its full range of products.
