IMHO, Nope! Five to six years ago, they may have been leading edge in inovation but of late they are dated and not worth the money. Hootbro |

I own one, and I absolutely love it. I don't know about listening to people who haven't even tried one, let alone own one.
There were some rather lengthy threads regarding the LR300 about a year ago. Also, depends on what you want one for. If you like driving the same car as everyone else, then no. If you enjoy performance and a sort of uniqueness, then yes. I really enjoy shooting it at 3-gun matches.. The low felt recoil makes double and triple taps alot easier. I wish I had my ZM over here in IRAQ... |

Why not consider an Armalite AR180B? It has a similar gas system (piston operation) shares the same AR-15 lower parts and mags and will save you almost $1000 over the ZM. Olympic arms is also making a piston operated Ar-15 too with a detachable stock. So many choice's so little $$

Isn't the ZM weapons system basically the same as a standard AR, except the recoil system has been moved in front of the upper. It has an extended carrier key and the spring goes aroud it and the gas tube......it's not a piston operated unit.....is it???

Yes, it's piston operated and the design is cool. Now there are a few piston opperated uppers out there it may no longer be worth the price. The ZM does work exceptionally well though

I hear....under full-auto fire...they have some minor issues...I saw a ZM rifle about a month ago...a little on the heavy side of life....but never the less...I'd take it to war.

That's my understanding. No gas piston. Mike |

That is it EXACTLY! I don't know where people get the idea that it is a gas pistonupper. Must be a gun show rumor. As far as getting a AR180 and saving a $1000, then screw an AR sysem and go with an AK variant, IMHO. I am seriously considering selling my ZM after I get back from Iraq. 6.8mm does a better job than 5.56mm! At least in the REAL world. Then again, maybe Alan will offer a trade in...? Hey HK_DUDE: You still going to Columbia? IRAQ sucks! |

The AR-15 design was leading edge in technology 30 or 40 years ago but of late they are not worth the money and are dated. Just get a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 Watt range. |
