An update on the production of the Quattro-15 family of products

Hello Desert Tech customers! I’ve got an update for you, and it’s a big one! We want to tell you when you can get your hands on the Quattro-15 family of products, including the Quattro-15 lower receiver, QMAG-53 magazine, Load Out Kit, and Magwell Adapter Kit for using standard magazines. Sometimes, full transparency is like drinking from a firehose, so here it comes

First things first. Here is a detailed description of our Quattro-15 and QMAG-53 Launch.

Soon after telling you about the Quattro-15 in 2021, we experienced several setbacks. Our forging supplier had a difficult time meeting our design demands, and we experienced a malfunction rate of 1% in the QMAG-53. So we undertook multiple design changes, as well as mold changes to the QMAG-53, to get the design and geometry just right to ensure reliability.

We also learned that developing new machine set ups to produce the Quattro-15 presented several challenges. So we spent the next 18 months re-tooling and modifying the entire manufacturing process as well as reworking the supply chain.

Now, after three revisions, we are producing a product that is flawless.

So where are we in this?

Over the past several weeks we subjected both the QMAG-53 and Quattro-15 to a series of tests to evaluate quality, reliability, durability, and function. The QMAG-53 and Quattro-15 remained fully functional and able to fire throughout the process, and that’s why we’re now confident in making it available to you.

Oh, and if you’re wondering whether the tests were harsh enough, I can tell you that we subjected several standard magazines, made by other manufacturers, to the same tests…. and ALL of them broke or failed to fire. We’ll be making a video of our tests available. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay informed.

So when can you get one?

The first orders will start shipping on November 6, 2023. We stand by our belief that every family, soldier, law enforcement officer, and competitor deserve the unrivaled performance available in the Quattro-15 family of products.

As product rolls out, orders will be sent first to customers and dealers who have preordered in the order in which we received their preorder. After that, we will fulfill orders from dealers and customers who did not preorder.

What does this mean? It means that there will be a backlog of orders. The waiting time will be longer for dealers and customers who did not preorder.

With rifles, our policy is to ship within 48 hours of receiving an order. And it is our intent to do the same with the Quattro-15. We anticipate our production facility will be able to make this possible for the Quattro family of products by early-2024.

The Quattro started shipping on November 6th as planned, and we are ramping up production so that we can achieve our goal of shipping new orders within 48 hours. Unfortunately, production ramp-ups take time, but the bottom line is we intend to fulfill all preorders and our current backlog by early 2024. (edited Nov 29, 2023)

We want to be more transparent with our community and to listen to our customers and act on their feedback. With the MDRX we’ve shown that we will add features and make design changes based on feedback from end users and dealers. That’s because we stay committed to helping you stay in the fight!

I know that’s a lot of info, so thank you for taking the time to read it all. It’s been quite a journey to get to this point, and I want to thank every single person that has joined us along the way. We really can’t wait to get these in the hands of everyone who wants a Quattro-15, QMAG-53 magazine, Loadout Kit, and Magwell Adapter Kit for using standard magazines.

I know I can speak for everyone at Desert Tech when I say, we are excited to share our passion and love for the Quattro-15 with everyone.

Best,

Nick White
