Washington-based ZEV Technologies has released a new rifle to their AR15/AR10 line: the Core Combat Rifle.
The Combat Rifle Series features both forged and billet models and will initially be available in .223 Wylde, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Winchester.

ZEV’s Director of Brand Engagement says,
“Team ZEV has worked tirelessly with our engineering team and elite law enforcement and military to develop a rugged, combat-capable rifle series. These rifles are extremely accurate and built to withstand daily use in the field under harsh conditions. We look forward to getting them into the hands of both professional end users and discerning civilians who appreciate a quality self-defense tool.”
All models are coated with rugged Cerakote Elite over Type III Class 2 hard coat anodize. Large frame rifles are built on the ZEV MML platform, while the .223 models are built on precision machined forged receivers. The launch will start with the forged .223 models, and the large-frame rifles will be available shortly after. All rifles are manufactured in-house in Centralia, Washington.
