Zenith Firearms ZF-56 Rifle, 5.56, 16-Inch, 30-Round

The Zenith Firearms ZF-56 in 5.56 (MPN ZF56000016) is an American-made semi-automatic rifle built on a roller-delayed blowback operating system, an alternative to the direct-impingement action found on most AR-15 pattern rifles. Zenith Firearms builds the rifle around a 16-inch cold hammer-forged 4150 CMV barrel with a 1:10-inch, 6-groove right-hand twist, threaded 1/2×28, under a full-length Picatinny rail and a free-floating M-LOK heat-shield handguard. The rifle features a last-round bolt-hold-open system, an ambidextrous manually actuated safety lever, and a 6-8 pound trigger pull, and ships with three 30-round AR magazines, a high-quality carrying case, a user manual, and a limited lifetime warranty. Among AR-platform rifles in the AR rifles category, the ZF-56 favors shooters who want a roller-delayed operating system in a 5.56 semi-auto.
