Construction
edit
The Zbroyar Z-15 is designed for both practical shooting competitions and hunting.
The weapon is characterized by high accuracy (the manufacturer guarantees accuracy of 2 MOA), optimized weight (3.5 kg), the ability to install sights directly on the rigid upper receiver. The Zbryar Z-15 comes with a forend with picatinny rails, on which one can place flashlights and other auxiliary accessories.
The Z-15 is equipped with a stainless steel barrel. This model uses a “MidLength” gas system, which provides smoother operation of the automatics.
The modular design allows the user to easily replace various components: stock, forend, trigger, etc., thereby customizing the carbine as desired.
The rifle is manufactured in Ukraine by Ukrop from domestic and American components. In particular, the barrel and trigger mechanism, on which the accuracy of shooting directly depends, are manufactured in the US by Daniel Defense. This model uses the CARBINE gas system with an adjustable gas block, which ensures smooth operation of the automatics. The modular design allows the user to easily replace various components: the stock, forend, pistol grip and other attachments, thereby adjusting the rifle for ease of use.
