Remember ZEV Technologies in airsoft? For those who have been in airsoft for some time now, they can recall that ZEV Technologies is about the SOCOM Gear ZEV Tech Trilobite Cut Slide for Gas Blowback Pistols. In particular, this was installed on the Echo1 US Airsoft ZEV Custom Timberwolf GBB Pistol.

ZEV Technologies merged with Mega Arms in early 2017 and by the late September 2017, PTS Syndicate announce that they have bagged the license to produce ZEV Tech products for the airsoft market. PTS Syndicate also has a licensing agreement for the Mega Arms, releasing the MKM and MML Maten Gas Blowback Rifles. But so far, there is no product released by PTS Syndicate under the ZEV  Tech brand.

If ever PTS Syndicate would want to produce another GBB rifle, then our suggestion is the ZEV Technologies Small Frame that uses the 6.5 Creedmor that was just recently announced.

With .308-style airsoft rifles being released by competitors, PTS Syndicate might just want to have a 6.5 Creedmor-style rifles produced, given that the 6.5 has advantages over the .308 for distance shooting. The ZEV Tech 6.5 Creedmor Small Frame has a long range capability and firepower like a large frame caliber at a smaller size. This makes it ideal for hunting and precision shooting rifle shooters.

Here are the technical specifications of the rifle:

• ZEV Billet Upper and Lower receivers are machined from 7075-T651 aluminum and finished in type III class 2 hard coat anodize
• ZEV extended length M-LOK free floating hand guard installs directly to the integrated rail base on the upper receiver which enhances rigidity while giving the rifle a unique and streamlined profile
• ZEV Slide Lock charging handle permits ambidextrous manipulation with an extended and textured latch for superior grip and ergonomics
• ZEV exclusive sniper gray flat face AR Gold trigger from ATC features a 2.5lb pull with a short reset and clean break
• Custom 20" 6.5 Creedmoor fluted 416R stainless steel sub-MOA match grade heavy barrel manufactured for ZEV by Noveske Rifleworks
• Custom tuned gas and buffer system for smooth cycling, consistent ejection, and low recoil
• Muzzle break from SureFire for additional recoil reduction to keep the rifle on target through recoil and aid in making follow up shots
• Ambidextrous operating controls and Magpul furniture further enhance the user experience. Includes one 20 round PMAG
• Overall length of 38.75" with stock collapsed
• Unloaded weight of 8.7 lbs

This is now available at authorized retailers. As for the airsoft version, hope that PTS Syndicate might just produce one if they are reading this.
