Yeah check their Facebook page. They announced it a couple of months ago and are now taking orders through dealers.

I inquired about colors and prices but never got a response... Maybe somebody else will have better luck.

AFAIK, their plans are to start with 360-6's this summer, 4003's in the fall and god only knows what after that.

I have been gassing for a 660-12FG for years and sure hope I get to snag one in the next year or so. With my luck, ric will come out with 660's right at the same time Modulus starts producing Quantum 5's again :(

Is that Modulus statement for real?

It is definatly on modulus' todo list. Last time I talked to them it was a more of a scheduling/priority matter than a "too much $$ to invest in a new mold" issue. They are well aware they can sell just about every lefty Q4/5/6 they can produce.

At that time they had one major project that had higher priority than lefty's (two years ago it was 4 projects) and hopefully the decks will get cleared late this year, early next year for lefty quantums.

DUDE.

I have always wanted a wide-necked Q5... I would have pounced on that one that was all over eBay a year ago had it not been from across the pond.

I really hope it comes together and they make it happen.
