Does Your Roller-Delayed Gun Need UpGrades? Zenith Custom Shop Does It All

January 28, 2019 by The Loadout Room Leave a Comment

Zenith Firearms has more than 40 years of experience manufacturing roller-delayed firearms using original tooling, dies, and data. They are much more than an importer. The do extensive work with the guns before they are sold and have a cadre of expert armorers on site.

Zenith Firearms offers a wide variety of Roller lock based firearms imported from MKE in Turkey. Their most popular models are the Z5RS and Z5P pistols sporting the SB Tactical pistol brace.

MKE’s products deliver the exact performance that users of this platform have come to expect. Roller-delayed blowback firearms are known for their reliability under the most extreme conditions. Special operations personnel have employed them for decades in the harshest environments on the planet, and in the most demanding crisis situations.

The roller-delayed specialists at Zenith Firearms offer a comprehensive set of maintenance, repair, customization and DuraCoat application services for all makes and models of roller-delayed blowback firearms. As a holder of FFLs 7 and 10, and a Class 2 and 3 Special Occupational Taxpayer, Zenith is licensed to manufacture and service all NFA items.

Zenith is not a clone factory. The MKE guns are license built on the same German made tooling as German made roller-delayed guns. Zenith also has access to the original Technical Data Package. This means that they have the factory specifications, not some garage gun plumber’s micrometer reading off another gun.

This means that Zenith has quality factory parts. All of the parts, on hand ready to service your gun. No waiting, hunting or begging involved. They do the work in-house and ship it out with minimal turn around.
