What is arthritis? Arthritis is a general term for a group of more than 100 diseases. The word arthritis means joint inflammation. Arthritis involves inflammation (swelling) in and around the body's joints. Pain, stiffness, and swelling can result from inflammation.
VLTOR weapon systems was founded in 2002 by Michael Mallinen in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. With the release of the original VLTOR Modstock the company quickly became successful in the AR parts industry. In 2004 VLTOR was bought out by a precision sheetmetal and CNC machining company called Abrams Airborne Manufacturing, Inc.
The concept was first created by VLTOR Weapon Systems of Tucson, Arizona, and released through Noveske Rifleworks of Grants Pass, Oregon, before being published in the public domain for adoption by the entire firearms accessory industry.
