The patent-pending O.Z-9 internal steel receiver is now available individually as the O.Z-9 Modular Build Kit (MBK).
The O.Z-9 Modular Build Kit (MBK) offers complete customization to build your O.Z-9 from the ground up. Start your custom build by choosing between a Black DLC or Titanium Gray O.Z-9 steel receiver.
“This is a big deal for the consumer who already owns a custom ZEV firearm or the necessary compatible ZEV components that go into an O.Z-9. It’s also the perfect starting point for the consumer that wants to build an O.Z-9 in the exact configuration they want. The steel receiver is the serialized component, and the foundation of the O.Z-9, so once you have that, the rest is like a set of Lego building blocks, but with ZEV parts.”, explained ZEV’s V.P. of Marketing, Dave Roberts.
Using compatible ZEV components, select the ZEV slide, ZEV barrel, ZEV trigger, ZEV O.Z-9 grip, and ZEV O.Z-9 magwell to build out the O.Z-9 that best fits your needs. Whether it’s for duty, concealed carry, competition, or a weekend range gun, the MBK is the place to start.
The O.Z-9 internal steel receiver, machined from a single block of 17-4 stainless steel billet, reduces the flex associated with polymer frames, has an integrated locking block and longer slide rails which provide more contact with the slide. Less felt recoil, less muzzle flip, faster follow up shots, and improved accuracy is the result.
In addition to an O.Z-9 Steel Receiver in either color, each O.Z-9 MBK includes the following necessary components to get your build started:
ZEV O.Z-9 Slide Lock Lever and Spring
ZEV O.Z-9 Trigger Pin
ZEV O.Z-9 Ejector Housing Pin
ZEV Enhanced Extractor
Extended Slide Release Lever
Really on the fence on this one, They’re VERY reluctant to say this actually works with glock parts, as they have been stating you have to use a zev trigger, zev slide, zev etc. I’m almost 90% certain it should or will take generic/non ZEV glock parts and it’s just a marketing thing, pretending nothing else exists, but it’s still kind of worrisome.
I’ll wait till I’m sure it can take generic glock parts, and eventually build the franken-glock 17L of my dreams assuming it does.
