Superior Equipment, Superior People, & Superior Strategies: Partner with ZRODelta

ZRODelta specializes in high-precision and high-volume manufacturing, and we stand ready to tackle your toughest, most demanding projects where others have failed you in the past. Our manufacturing approach is simple: if a part features complex geometry such that few can make it properly, is a critical component for the ultimate performance of an assembly, or is a high-risk liability element, we want to make it. We have state of the art equipment with robotics suites throughout our operations to eliminate human error, and our manufacturing philosophies are driven by individuals with capabilities, experiences, character, and perspectives unparalleled in the small arms field.

We are a multi-disciplinary machine shop and run a highly flexible operation. We are programmer-focused, and have 3, 4 and 5 axis vertical machining, horizontal machining, turning, 2 and 3 turret turn-milling, deep-hole drilling, rifling, broaching, wire-EDM, heat treatment, plating, indoor and outdoor ranges, and environmental testing capabilities all vertically integrated in our North Carolina facility. All of these combine to make ZRODelta the right manufacturing partner to meet your toughest, most complex demands.

An in-depth look at some our off-the-shelf critical component manufacturing is provided below. If you desire to white-label our off-the-shelf components, or desire to variance our handgun or rifle receivers, please reach out to us via the general contact form at the bottom of this page.

BOLT CARRIER GROUPS

Our bolts are manufactured from C158 or 9310 material and are manufactured in a single operation, ensuring proper machine indication and reducing the opportunity for dimensional error. They are heat treated, shot peened, and then ground in-house to a final specification of +/-0.0005”. Our carriers are precision machined in one operation, heat treated, and ground to a final specification of +/-0.0005”. Our standard bolts and carriers are offered to military specification dimensions and processes, but can be modified to customer specifications to achieve higher performance standards. Specifications for our modified carrier are below.

Specs:

  1. 8620 or 416R Bolt Carrier with increased cam pin slot length for reduced unlocking pressures
  2. Custom profile with debris cuts, custom firing pin retaining slot aids in performance and manufacturability
  3. Stability band increases recoil alignment and reduces carrier bounce
  4. Precision ported gas holes, with modified directionality
  5. 9310 or C158 Bolt, MPI and/or HPT and certified in-house to military specification
  6. 4140 Gas Key, properly torqued and staked grade 8 screws
  7. Billet or MIM extractor, per customer specifications
  8. Plating: Chrome & Phos, Nitride, Nickel Boron, Tribological

LOWER PARTS KITS

Our lower parts kits start with investment castings that are machined to exacting military standards.
