I heard a few months back (from someone that I believed to be reputable . . . but can't for the life of me remember who) that the next batch of Zeniths was due to be imported in August. I don't want to start rumors, but I'm looking to see if someone can corroborate this.

I heard that the 7.62 guns are in this batch.....fingers crossed on a legit G3K pistol.
|
|
I believe the wording I saw was for mid summer around July or August. Over in the HK forums, Zenith said they knew their schedules and to give them a call.
|
|
|
You can contact Zenith and ask, they have hooked up a few people looking for their guns this way.
|
|
I wonder if Zenith imports will be affected by POTUS' sanctions against Turkey due to their holding that pastor?

Called and they said about a month, if that even. Here's hoping its sooner, I really hate the idea of buying a PTR with the ugly welded on rail.

Quoted: PTR will eventually probably have a non-railed version. View Quote Honestly, in the research I've done MKE being HK licensed seems to be a little better in in my book, as much as I'd love to give my money to an American company and have ZERO doubts the PTR is every bit as reliable and functional as the Zenith. As for the one PTR gun I AM eyeing up, its a PTR91 GI Classic. That gun looks amazingly true to a Bundeswher G3 and at a price point that's pretty reasonable considering what virtually anything besides AR15's are going for these days. |

New imports are due in any day now! Unfortunately, the G3 won't make it out until sometime next year, and it will have a US made barrel. Zenith gave me this information the other day. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I called Zenith last Friday and they said they're hoping for something to come in around October.

For the fullsize or the little K's? Because they told me fullsizes first in August, K's later on. View Quote |

Was told yesterday the RS models are in the customs import process as we speak. Probably have them in the next couple weeks.
|
|
I wonder if Zenith discontinued the Z43P. It's no longer on their website. If so I'm glad I got mine when I did!
|
|
Zenith just posted on fb this am that a batch was being imported currently and will be processing and out to distributors over the next 2 weeks

Quoted: Have you checked your trigger pull weight on yours? Mine's a stout 9 lbs. My Z5K is about 5lbs (4.5, actually, IIRC). I emailed Zenith, but never got a response. I, admittedly, don't play a lot in the roller-delay world, so I'm not sure what to expect. View Quote |

Have to wonder how much longer these are going to continue coming in with the current state of politics with Turkey.

Quoted: Shhhhhhh! Let's not cause unnecessary demand spikes until we have had a chance to acquire our firearms. View Quote |
|
Glad I got my Z5R two years ago; I heard the PTR 9C is a nice alternative, though
|
|
|
Does the current batch of guns include Turkish clones of the HK-93?
|
|
Anyone heard any news? I guess the whole batch from this last shipment went to RSR group...

I gave up and went for a slightly used Z5-P off of Gun Broker. Price was only a tad over retail and no tax.
I figure with supply/demand I wouldn't be finding any deals on the new ones when they did hit the market and this way I was able to get my paperwork to convert to SBR submitted. |
|
Zenith needs to bring in some SD’s in pistol form with a fake can
|
|
Still waiting for the z5ps to be in stock. Been waiting since April. Allegedly there are some z5p s getting ready to come in or are still processing. I know some RS's came later last month/early this month.
|
|
I just got off the phone with Chuck from Kelly Enterprises and he's not sure when a new shipment is coming in.
|
|
I gave up and got one off of gun broker, it gets here tomorrow!

RSR distributes to individual FFLs, who are their resellers/retailers.
|
|
|
RSR doesn’t have any Zenith firearms in stock currently, and actually only lists the 9MM guns now.

I haven't ordered from RSR since 2012, but they used to "allocate" hot items like that to the salespeople, like each one got 10 or whatever. So if anyone logged in and looked on their web interface it'd always show 0 quantity. You had to ask your rep. If you were high enough volume, they'd let you buy it.

Any new information on the Z43P? As mentioned above no longer on their website.

I just snagged a new one. Glad I did if they are going the way of the dodo. I absolutely love my Z5RS, can't wait to try a 5.56 version. View Quote I'm still waiting on PTR and Bud's to send me my HK 93 clone. |
