Got the same thing. Shame if so.

 News to me .  Maybe a victim of the post O'butthead Firearms bubble era .

Lgs told me Rock River had to lay off 30 people for that reason.

Merged with ZEV, Megas president will be in charge of manufacturing for both now. Name might change but they will be available.

Interesting merger.

I always liked Mega Arms receivers. Very good fit and finish on them. I know Zev is high end Glock stuff too. Article said no major changes in product line any time soon. 

So that means to me that the emails are just a push to move product and drum up a little press.

Wonder if that had anything to do with their political stance a few months back

Might need to snatch up a billet 5.56 upper receiver for the 16" 300BLK gun. It's got the ambi lower, and I always put off getting the matching upper.  Fuk me.

  If they are not changing their product line ( one hopes ) the Billet Upper should still be available , even after the Merger. Unless you think they will change or be more expensive then now . 

 Use shows they have 20 in stock     http://www.jsesurplus.com/megaarms-1-2.aspx

I got to check out a couple of the pre-production ZEV receiver sets yesterday, very well made, fit and finish are excellent and the machine work is beautiful - looks like they will maintain the high standards that Mega was known for and further evolve the design.

They paid a lobbyist to get them cut out of an illinois law that would have about shut down the small gun dealers;
