I had never heard of Zeroed In Armory and their website was under construction. ZIA has a Facebook page and from reading a couple threads sounds like they have been in business since at least 2016. After looking at their FB page it appears they sell numerous firearms and uppers. Really hard to tell if they are selling uppers assembled by BCA or other manufacturer. I doubt they are manufacturing any AR-15 components.
If I were in your situation I would contact ZIA via facebook and see if they will disclose the source for their barrels/uppers. I bet they are using Bear Creek Arsenal or other manufacturer. The bolt carrier group plus charging handle option is $99 so probably BCA, Brownell’s or Tool Craft.
In my opinion your paying someone to assemble you an upper. With the ease of installing many of the M-Lok or Keymod hand guards it is not difficult to assemble your own upper. At least if I assemble my own I know the fit of the barrel to upper, quality of barrel and choice of hand guard.
If you encounter a problem can you easily get a hold of ZIA. Me, I would rather buy a Bear Creek Arsenal upper from BCA, Primary Arms or Midway USA with proven customer service.
The heart of any AR-15 is the barrel and it is usually the most important component for me when it comes to AR-15’s. There have been many 6.5 Grendel barrels for sale for less than $200. BCA was selling 6.5 Grendel barrels for less than $100 during the Thanksgiving holliday.
