As the title says, has anyone built one up yet and wouldn't mind posting pics of their rifle. Can't find any online.

I'm looking to build on their ar-10 reciever set. But small frame builds will also help to get a feel for what it would look like. The company pics are too professional.

I’d really like a large frame Zev build- my wallet doesnt agree tho

Would love to see some builds!

Not many ambi large frames out there- good to see Zev come out with one.  I thought they were working with Mega somehow when designing theirs?

Still, thought this would be more of a fun route than building on a 700 action.

thanks for the additional pics.

I guess they're so new that not many people have them yet. I've yet to find completed build photos that are full take from the side. The zev taken photon are all slanted making it hard to actually gauge.

Bump to see if there is any more info out there.  I went and grabbed 2 sets of forged mega upper/lower a few months back and am looking for some more, but they are few and far between as it looks like they are all gone.  Anyway, does anyone have a Mega and a Zev that they can compare?  If it is the same, then I would just get the Zev.  What I would like to know is if it is just a different roll mark, or has their been a noticeable change in the process (fit, finish, tolerances, ect)?

Zev bought Mega. The Mega designs will no longer by made. Zev is doing their own tweeks to the products and putting them out. Notice the hanguard on the rifle is the same as the Mega Wedgelock handguard, just has the Zev rollmark on it......

Does anyone know if the large frame receivers will be compatible with the Matens?

Yep. I'm glad I got an AMBi and MATEN when I did.

Patent infringement tends to put a damper on things.

Remington/DPMS has quite a bit of IP in the G2 that they will protect.

I've got a maten ambi too, but they don't have an ambi mag release like the zev version.

That said, I've got too much in my creedmoor to start another large frame build.  I'll let someone else try them out.

Anymore feedback on the Zev receiver sets and handguards?  I'm highly interested in doing a 6.5 Creedmoor build.
