Key Features
Roller-Delayed Blowback Operating System
The ZF-56 employs a roller-delayed blowback system, a design renowned for its reliability and smooth cycling characteristics. This mechanism effectively mitigates felt recoil, contributing to enhanced shooter control and faster target reacquisition for sustained precision.
Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel
Featuring a 14.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, the ZF-56 ensures superior durability and consistent accuracy. The manufacturing process of cold hammer-forging stress-relieves the steel, optimizing bore concentricity and enhancing projectile velocity stability for predictable ballistic performance.
Full-Length Picatinny Accessory Rail
A full-length Picatinny rail is integrated into the receiver, providing a robust and standardized interface for the secure attachment of optics, lights, and other essential tactical accessories. This rail facilitates immediate customization and mission-specific configuration.
Last Round Bolt Hold Open
The inclusion of a last round bolt hold open system provides critical tactical and operational advantages. This feature expedites magazine changes by presenting an open bolt for rapid reloads and offers immediate visual and tactile confirmation of an empty chamber, enhancing firearm safety and operational awareness.
Buffer Tube Compatible End Cap
Equipped with an end cap designed for buffer tube compatibility, the ZF-56 offers modularity for various rear-end configurations. This allows operators to integrate compatible pistol braces or other accessories, optimizing the firearm for specific operational requirements while maintaining its pistol classification.
