ZRO Delta Firearms
About ZRO Delta
ZRO Delta was founded by partners John Birk and Pat Harrigan, with the company originally based in Lubbock, Texas.
Pat Harrigan, a former Green Beret and West Point graduate with nuclear engineering expertise, brought military experience and business acumen to the partnership.
The company has evolved through strategic acquisitions, including War Sport Manufacturing in 2018, which brought the famous LVOA rifle line under their umbrella.
ZRO Delta revolutionized the optics mounting industry with their patented DLOC mounting system, which became the industry standard for optical mounting solutions by 2017.
Today, ZRO Delta operates from a 120,000 square foot facility in Burke County, North Carolina, serving as a vertically integrated firearms manufacturer with the motto "The Foundation for Accuracy."
