Zenith Firearms ZF-56

The ZF-56 is a new rifle to be introduced by Zenith Firearms, a company that specializes in roller-delayed firearms such as their MP5 clone series. The ZF-56 is a result of their craftsmanship and innovation, and it offers some unique features that set it apart from other rifles in its class.

One of the most distinctive features of the ZF-56 is its roller delayed blowback operation, which reduces recoil and improves reliability. Unlike other roller-delayed firearms, the ZF-56 also has a last round hold open bolt lock system, which makes reloading easier and faster. The ZF-56 uses AR-compatible trigger grip and magazine, but it has a proprietary lower.

Another interesting feature of the ZF-56 is its folding charging handle, which locks down when not in use. This is different from the traditional H&K-style charging handle, which sticks out from the side of the receiver. The folding charging handle gives the ZF-56 a sleeker and more ergonomic look.

The ZF-56 is chambered in 5.56 NATO, but it will also be available in other calibers in the future. The rifle has a cold hammer forged and fluted barrel, which provides accuracy and durability. The barrel length varies depending on the model, and shooters can choose the one that fits their preferences.

The handguard of the ZF-56 is a free-floating M-LOK heatshield with a full-length Picatinny rail on top. This allows shooters to attach various accessories to their rifle, such as optics, lights, lasers, grips, etc. The handguard also has a built-in heat shield, which protects the shooter's hand from the heat generated by the barrel.

The ZF-56 uses standard AR magazines, which are widely available and affordable. The rifle also has an ambidextrous safety selector, which can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed shooters. The trigger pull weight is between 6 and 8 pounds, which is suitable for both target shooting and self-defence.

The ZF-56 is a lightweight rifle, weighing only 7.3 pounds without a magazine. This makes it easy to carry and manoeuvre. The rifle also has a stock interface that is compatible with stocks like those found on the MP5/HK93. However, the stock attachment method is different from the classic roller-delayed blowback firearms.

The price of the ZF-56 is not yet announced by Zenith Firearms. If you are interested in buying this rifle, you can check their website for more information and updates. The ZF-56 is a unique and innovative rifle that highlights Zenith Firearms' dedication to quality and excellence.
