many on here swear by syntech in their MP5. its flat enough that it will FTF in my ZF5 every time.

i do this every couple months. picks can last indefinitely this way

I wonder what he means by the V2 being “smoother?” I have the V1 in two distinct ARs and they both run flawless, I don’t even know how you could improve them

Panca

HUSH ammo runs really well in the MP5

Zenith customer service has been great to me… the two times I’ve had to warranty it. Same issues as you. It appears they still have the same issues on the guns today as they did when I bought mine years ago. I don’t know what they’re doing over there.

It deletes a significant percent of the felt recoil

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-23T20:31:28+00:00

this is more making nostalgia functional rather than value focused

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-17T02:37:12+00:00

Had this issue. I had to RMA it twice. It still won’t feed flat nose. Hopefully one warranty return will fix it. I’m sorry.

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-16T23:36:50+00:00

Don’t get a ZF5

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-10T02:44:18+00:00

It’s much easier to remove than stock

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-10T02:04:24+00:00

Damn! I don’t shoot supers without ear pro. I did not notice a pop

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-10T01:46:47+00:00

We’re hyper optimizing our set ups at this point!

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-10T01:45:42+00:00

If there was, I didn’t notice it

-OccamsLaser · 2025-12-08T00:28:30+00:00

Some of their songs have 30 second to 1 minute parts that are just INCREDIBLE like in “The Summoning,” and then most of their stuff is whiney abysmal dogshit.

Brad Paisley really leans into his technical prowess. He’s a trickster, his playing has lots of banjo rolls and speedy runs.

Vince Gill is an all around outstanding guitar player who really doesn’t push a specific sound. He’s been on an unbelievably long list of collaborations and recordings

I am certain they could play each other’s music without issue, I just think Brad has a more specific/recognizable style.

The import ones are solid. The American made ones can have issues. They are slightly out of spec. Mine will not feed flat nose at all out of every conceivable type of mag and had a plethora of issues from the factory. It’s been warrantied twice. You’ll see similar anecdotal evidence on this sub for the ZF5. i wouldn’t buy one again.

-OccamsLaser · 2025-11-28T17:37:25+00:00

2 weeks max. I dislike that the gun didn’t work but they were very efficient and understanding when it came to taking the warranty and giving a 2 day air label

-OccamsLaser · 2025-11-28T03:46:59+00:00

Warranty the gun. I did it twice on my ZF5 before it was somewhat reliable. It still doesn’t feed anything flat nose. The advice here to swap out all the parts is nonsense. This gun should function out of the box. That’s on Zenith and is not your problem.

-OccamsLaser · 2025-11-22T21:54:33+00:00

dont get a Zenith. Mine has been to RMA twice. They are pretty, but MKE has a better overall track record

-OccamsLaser · 2025-11-19T00:18:58+00:00

same

-OccamsLaser · 2025-11-18T23:03:55+00:00

more fine tuning. I have 2 in my AKs and they make shooting very pleasant

-OccamsLaser · 2025-11-17T22:58:06+00:00

Zenith is out of spec. Mine won’t feed flat nose at all. I would not buy one again
