I thought so too. The "maco" most certainly stands for "Manufacturing Company." "Die Manufacturing Company" maybe? Or the first 3 letters DIE could be the founders, then "Manufacturing Company." Or it could be Dee-Em-A-Co. Never had to actually speak the name until today, then I wasn't sure how to. |

hehehhee...pronunciations are always funny....Colt Canada used to be pronounced "die-mako" (like the shark)
another one is Leupold....... - leo - pold (like leo the lion) - loop - hold (kinda of supports "leupy") in this case I have seen that the proper is "loop-hold" any others that we can have fun with? Mark |

Really. Has this been confirmed by them? How are the rest of you guys pronouncing it. I've always thought that was a curious one. |

Yes. It is a Latin word, and that is the correct pronunciation. From Vltor's website: Question: What does VLTOR mean? Answer: VLTOR is the ancient Roman spelling for the Latin word ULTOR, meaning "Avenger". This word was commonly used to describe the Roman God of War "Mars". www.vltor.com/faq.html |
