It’s week three of The ZEV Technologies Experience and I’m told that they’ve cut the new slide, custom designed for SSD, but don’t quite want to let the whole cat out of the bag meaning we’re only going to see glimpses of what they’ve done. So far, ZEV has checked the pistol in and pulled the parts for the custom build.
In this video, you can see the slide being precision cut in house, from 1704 Billet Stainless Steel.
Undoubtedly, the most prominent feature is the cutout for the RMR. The slide cut is specific for the Trijicon RMR and offers 1/3 co-witness, featuring ZEV technologies proprietary RMR mounting posts.
I just received word yesterday that Trijicon has graciously sent an RMR in to Zev Texhnologies to be incorporated into the build. This is going to be an exciting gun to shoot.
The Mega Arms Megalithic AR-15 upper is machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum, giving it a 70% increase in strength over 6061 aluminum. It is black hard anodized with a surface hardness of 60 Rockwell. Its material and construction allows it to weigh only 22.3 oz.
The Megalithic upper features a fore end with keymod at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, and a flat top Picatinny rail. An integrated leveling system placed between the upper receiver and handguard rails can be configured for both left and right handed shooters.
Comes standard with a dust cover door, forward assist, a keymod compatible Picatinny rail segment, barrel nut, and barrel nut wrench. Available only in rifle length at this time.

Orion Design Group has just recently added the Viking Tactics MK1 sling to their product offerings. Made of Murdock woven webbing, the VTAC MK1 is a versatile two-point sling that has been in use with members of ODG since 2007.
In this video from Vickers Tactical, Larry Vickers meets up with a Special Forces Qualification instructor of the 18B course as he takes his students through Small Arms introduction.
Geissele Automatics’ own Bill Geissele demonstrates the new Super Sabra trigger for the Israeli Tavor. It is a derivative of the popular SSA trigger, and will have a similar pull and feel around 4.5 lbs.
That mark on Bill’s face is the exhaust from the use of the SilencerCo Saker556 suppressor. Geissele has stated that the ambidextrous ejection port was not completely seated allowing some gas to escape.
RAND CLP is an eco-friendly CLP that utilizes a vegetable oil base and a proprietary blend of nano-particles which are designed to work into the metal of a firearm and form a shield against rust, carbon, and dirt. The vegetable oil component “lifts” carbon and fouling from the metal which allows for easier cleaning. It is non-toxic, odorless, and is designed to be safe on all metals, polymers, and woods. Also worth mentioning is that RAND CLP is approved by Viking Tactics.
We received a few samples and will be trying them out soon.
Available in 2oz and 4oz bottles, and single use ‘rip & drip’ packs.
