Vudoo closed for business?

Dear Valued Customers and Friends,
We’re thrilled to share an update about Vudoo Gunworks and the exciting journey we’re embarking on. We’ve heard the questions and rumors circulating, and we truly appreciate your patience while we’ve been unable to respond fully due to the complexities of our recent transition. Now, with a renewed sense of purpose, we’re eager to share where we’re headed and how much your support means to us.
We’re delighted to announce that Vudoo Gunworks has relocated to a wonderful new home in Prague, Oklahoma, at the former Surgeon Rifle facility. This move feels like the perfect fit, especially with a nearby gunsmithing school that will help us continue to bring talented, passionate individuals to our team. Our core crew—Jack, George, Peter, and myself—has made the move to Oklahoma, and we’re already welcoming new pistolsmiths and rifle smiths to the family. We’ve passed our ATF inspection and are awaiting final approval for our license to be processed. The moment it’s ready, we’ll hit the ground running with production in our larger facility, which will allow us to ramp up output right away.
We’ll be honest—the move took a bit longer than we hoped. While transporting equipment went smoothly, setting up essentials like internet, workers’ compensation insurance, and other logistics took more time than expected. We’ve also faced challenges with our old website, which we won’t be using moving forward, and only recently regained access to our email servers. Our previous phone line was disconnected when the former company closed, but we’re excited to share our new contact details: you can reach us at +1.405.927.2477, and we promise to do our best to answer every call or return messages promptly. Our email, info@vudoogunworks.com, is up and running, and if you’ve sent us a message in the last 60 days, kindly resend it so we can ensure we don’t miss you.
As part of acquiring Vudoo’s assets from its previous ownership, we’ve made it our mission to honor all existing backorders for both customers and dealers, fulfilling them in order of their original number. For the first time in our history, we have a facility stocked with parts and hundreds of receivers, which gives us confidence in our ability to deliver. We’re also committed to settling outstanding vendor payments from the past. Our goal is to ship all rifle orders within 60 days of receiving our license, complete all 2024 pistol orders this year, and keep 2025 pistol orders on their original timelines. A few warranty firearms were moved during the transition, and we’re working to repair and return those as quickly as possible.
Looking ahead, we’re pouring our hearts into new product lines that we can’t wait to share with you in the coming weeks and months. My partners and I are genuinely humbled by the opportunity to carry Vudoo Gunworks forward, and we’re filled with gratitude for your patience and trust during this time of change.
Thank you for being part of our story. We’re excited to build this new chapter together and look forward to serving you with the quality and care you deserve.
Warm regards,
The Vudoo Gunworks Team
I dont believe a lot of what appears here today but thought you folks will be informed of their position

The "new" Vudoo claims to be bringing 60 new jobs and a $8.3 million investment to the new business location in Prague, Oklahoma. The state governor, Kevin Stitt was impressed, saying "This is what happens when you allow the free market to do what it does best." Perhaps Stitt is overly enthusiastic.
Mike Bush, former co-owner of Vudoo, notes that during his time with VGF the number of employees numbered in the "12 to less than 20 range."

It is a little bigger than that ... mags,bottom metals, three or four actions, test fixtures, parts and parts kits for all Vudoo models and generations. And the man makes himself available to answer any and all questions and welcomes our input in his ongoing product development.
New project goes by the name DeLane Development Group.
