The item is supposed to be blemished, but, honestly I can’t seem to find the issue. If I’ve got any gripes they aren’t on Zenith.

I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I couldn’t find what the blemish was on the firearm. Everything looked great and I couldn’t be happier. The amount I spent for the firearm compared to the sales event shortly after…Zenith sales reps were able to provide me some extra goodies for my zf5. The customer service went about and beyond to honor the sales event. Thank you for the help and for everything.
Zenith is legit! Thank you!

Excellent quality on this ZF-5 Blem; to be completely honest, I could not find what the issue was regarding it’s classification for being a blemished model. All finishing seems top notch, no dings or scuffs that I could locate, and I tend to be a bit rough on some of my firearms at the range so I have no intention on keeping this one in pristine condition. The magazine was also high quality in terms of fit and finish. Trigger pull is less mushy than my HK-93 trigger and this ZF-5 trigger has a nice reset to it. Diopter turns easily in both directions and the paddle release for magwell is a godsend. One thing I noticed was that the buttstock cap on this firearm was quite difficult to remove, had to use a rubber mallet to assist with getting that off. Gave her a good cleaning and oiled her down right out the box and am looking forward to our range date. Disassembly of the bcg (firing pin, spring, roller housing) was simple and it was much easier to put back together when compared to my HK-93. I will absolutely be picking up some of the accessories like the 3-lug flash hider, pic rail, and sling. From this unboxing experience, I already have my eyes on the ZF-P for a next purchase! Cheers!
