PRESS RELEASE​

ZENITH FIREARMS TO MANUFACTURE ROLLER-DELAYED BLOWBACK FIREARMS IN THE UNITED STATES​

ZF-5 TO OFFER ADVANCEMENTS OVER THE ORIGINAL DESIGN

AFTON, VA: Zenith Firearms announced today that it will be releasing its first gun model in the fourth quarter of 2021. Their ZF-5 will retain the iconic submachine gun profile, but offer improvements throughout the system. Users can expect improved serviceability along with renewed accessibility to parts and accessories.

“Since the start of this project, our goal was to build a ‘better than the original’ firearm,” said Kutlay Kaya, CEO of Zenith Firearms. “Our team of more than 50 engineers, roller-delayed platform experts, and manufacturing specialists have meticulously revamped the model. We will be offering a completely U.S.-made, Zenith manufactured firearm with superior quality attained through modernization, precise tolerances, improved coatings, and a cold hammer-forged barrel.”

Each ZF-5 will ship with three (3) magazines, a premium sling, a cleaning kit, and a Picatinny optics rail in a high-quality carry case. “You can expect to receive all of this with a lower price tag than the competition,” Kaya said.

Distributors, dealers, and retail customers can follow Zenith’s social media pages for updates or sign up to receive emails at https://zenithfirearms.com/updates.

I figure that they had to do something if they wanted to survive. Apparently their relationship with MKE was over. It will be interesting to see the 'better than original' product that they offer but I expect that I am done buying for now.

Zenith's I was pretty impressed.

My Zeniths were manufactured by MKE and then imported by Zenith. This new introductions sounds like a domestically made Zenith if I understand correctly. Might be a completely different animal. ?????

Surprises me a little that they are including ZQI ammo in the pre-order bundle. I thought MKE and ZQI were tied together at some level. Maybe not??
