I don't know if they are - their website has been closed down and you get a message saying that the domain name is for sale. I hope that they survive - their guns were fabulous.
The phone # is (907) 333-0243 after 4pm Alaska time and the e-mail is as was given. Ad also says takes Visa & MasterCard
What I can tell you is that I was at the AIM show (RSA annual gun/hunting show) in JHB two weeks ago, and I had a look at the double square bridge mauser action which Vektor manufacture. They had two actions in the white, and I handled the one for about a half hour looking at the quality etc.
I was impressed and nearly put down the USD 1600 they wanted for the action. Why not? I'm seriously considering a custom Sabi rifle in 500 Jeffrey which I also saw at the show which was exceptional. Sabi make some nice rifles.
Unfortunatley I don't have Vektor's contact details with me at this time, but you can contact me offline if you want me to pass on the details in the last week of March when I'm back in the RSA.
