The ZEV AR-15 Core Elite Pistol 5.56mm with a 10.5" barrel is a masterfully engineered firearm designed for enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability. Crafted with ZEV's forged upper and lower receivers, this pistol is precision machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, offering both strength and lightweight performance, and finished in a true black Type III Class 2 hard coat anodize for enhanced durability. The ZEV Wedge Lock hand guard features a full-length continuous top rail with an M-LOK mounting system, ensuring versatile accessory attachment and a consistently aligned top rail thanks to its integrated anti-rotation pin. At the heart of this firearm is the ZEV custom 416R 10.5" match barrel, chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 1:7 twist and a carbine-length gas system, all coated in a striking bronze PVD finish for superior performance and aesthetics. The ZEV muzzle device and low-profile fixed gas block work in harmony with the H3 carbine buffer to increase dwell time and reduce port pressure, ensuring reliable extraction and a smooth recoil impulse. The mil-spec chrome-lined BCG, finished with a manganese phosphate coating, enhances lubricity and corrosion resistance, while the flat face AR Gold trigger from ATC offers a crisp 2.5lb pull with a short reset for unparalleled shooting precision. The Radian Weapons Talon ambidextrous safety selector and ZEV Slide Lock charging handle provide superior ergonomics and ambidextrous manipulation, complemented by the Magpul MIAD grip for a comfortable and secure hold. While this model does not include a magazine or brace, it remains a top choice for those seeking a high-performance, customizable firearm. Ideal for tactical applications and competitive shooting, the ZEV AR-15 Core Elite Pistol is a testament to ZEV's commitment to quality and innovation.
