ZEV Technologies has unveiled their new CORE series, a family of AR rifles and pistols which is more price competitive than their other offerings.
The barrel is guaranteed at 1MOA or better and they are equipped with their Wedgelock handguard as well as Magpul pistol grip and stock (Shockwave Brace for Pistol). However, the upper and lower are forged and the trigger is GI and the gas block is fixed.
Coming later this month in .300 and .223. 224 Valkyrie will follow soon.
Grey Ghost Precision has introduced the new Mk II versions of the S-Heavy and S-Light. Aside from bringing the manufacturing in-house, they’ve also introduced a more open architecture, allowing use of commercial parts. The orgiginal version of the rifle used a proprietary upper, lower and rail which only worked with one another. Now the upper and lower are DPMS style for the Heavy and Standard AR for the Light. Additionally, users aren’t stuck with just one rail system now.

During SHOT Show Kryptek previewed their collaboration with Spike’s Tactical.
The project was the brainchild of three Former Longbow Apache Pilots, two from Kryptek and one from Spike’s Tactical. They added optics from Leupold to the mix, creating the KRUS line.
Offered in Rifle, SBR and Pistol configurations, they are each limited to 300 guns.
Look for different Kryptek patterns on the various KRUS models.
At the request of their customers, VSS has introduced a Carbine and Pistol configuration AR.

When we last told you about the SureFire Advanced Rifle Operating Core and Optimized Bolt Carrier we weren’t sure when it would be available commercially. But SureFire had the OBC on display at SHOT Show and told us the first run are just finishing up production.
While the entire AROC consists of an enhanced Bolt Carrier Group, Barrel Extension, Buffer and Spring, the OBC is a drop-in Bolt Carrier Group which fits both piston and DI ARs.
The OBC features an internal weight which is spring loaded in both directions. This, along with the other elements, combine to offer additional travel time. When the Bolt is at the end of its stroke while using a Mil-Spec BCG, it takes 28 milliseconds for the bolt to travel back into battery. With the OBC, it’s 38 milliseconds. That slight difference is signifigant, especially when firing full auto or suppressed, or both. You’ll also notice that the gas key has a single screw. It comes with a 2 oz H2S buffer and an included Action Spring offers additional tension.
