ZEV Technologies forged lower took about a minute to drop the lower parts kit into. Standard mil-spec dimensions throughout. Black anodize is consistent. Magwell flare helps speed reloads. Solid receiver for the cost.
ZEV Technologies typically does Glock parts but their AR forged lowers are clean. The flared mag well makes reloads slightly faster. Black anodize is correctly applied. ZEV logo engraving on the magwell looks subtle not in your face. Mates clean with any milspec upper.
