I put another 200 rounds of Blazer 115 gr fmj through my Scorpion. I received the replacement extractor, extractor spring and extractor base from CZ for free. So at least they are supporting the platform. The original parts did not appear to have anything wrong. It was my starting point to diagnose the FTE/FTF problem which was at 1% of all rounds fired. So far so good, first time ever with no FTF/FTE. Someone said earlier in the thread that they had the same problem and it smoothed out around the 1000 round count. I am at 1100 rounds through the gun. All the shooting was unsurpressed, we will put the can on next time as some of the failures prior were during suppressed operation.
I will keep sending lead through it and see what happens. If it was simply a case of break in, that is just poor CQ or manufacturing. I like the gun, but have never owned anything that was fickle like this. I am very curious to know what if anything the redesigned factory mags would do. I see the feed lips and follower are different. I applaud CZ for making revisions all the time. Would be nice to see them get it right from the get go. |

Got to test fit my reflex can today (Which is still in jail).
Coulda gone a couple inches shorter with the barrel, but it will do for now. Very well balanced and fits perfect in the Ridgid case. Can't wait to shoot it! Attached File |

Maybe someday I'll get it shorter but not worried about it for now. |

I am looking at the HBI rail and the aluminum charging handles but HBI warns of potential problems running a Aluminum CH with a aluminum rail. Anyone here have experience with that set up? Have you had any problems? I know HBI also offers a polymer CH but I like the look of the red one!

View Quote (Aluminum does not like sliding on Aluminum) Use their alloy CH with the stock plastic handguard, or the plastic one with an alloy handguard. (I already made that mistake. ) |

Can confirm, the Innovative Arms IA-SC9 suppressor is a pretty slick mod. If you go that route, you may want to buy a separate barrel and HB Industries handguard. Let that combo sit in jail while you continue to shoot your Scorpion then change the front end once you get your stamp.

At the end of the day, it's still a stupid cliché.

I picked up an Evo carbine with the pencil barrel tonight. I like it, but I hate how the handguard looks.
Is it possible to mount a pistol handguard on the carbine while retaining the 16" barrel? Make it look something like an old school HK 94? |
|
|
^^ Yes to both ^^

Nothing in can think of.

Put things together tonight... HBI safety, trigger spring, duck bill mag release. Also added grip, brace, Romeo 5 and Surefire. Took the pic before doing the internal work. YouTube and 20 minutes made the installation a snap. Ready for the range. |

I finally broke down and ordered an HBI K kit yesterday. Interestingly I’ve found I actually like the stock CZ pistol grip when I shoot with the Tailhook - the angle works out fine.

For anyone that's pulled the barrel, do you need to remove the barrel nut/rail or can you just split the receiver and the handguard will fall off?

And if my sister calls me crying you can bet I appear pretty quickly, usually in a little cloud of smoke and brimstone, or maybe that smell is cod? ~Aimless

Specifically the tailhook, (which is adjustable) would this be measured all the way out or in? Or would it depend on the relative configuration? Are VFGs still good to go on pistols? (So long as the OAL is 26” or greater and has a LOP of 13” or more) OR should I just bypass the BS and get a “foregrip” similar to the one in picture below? Attached File I hate having to keep up with the ATF antics, sorry for what are probably stupid questions. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide answers |

I think if it’s a pistol (using a brace) you can’t use a vertical foregrip...
Someone more up on the regulations will be along shortly |

Any feedback on the following brace adapters?
Don't really like the look of the SB tactical offerings, and the CZ Custom, and factory + tailhook is $$$ I already have the fixed adapter, tube and brace. The UTG folder was junk so I took it off. Sylvan Titan folding brace adapter @ $130 Lage @ $150 Hera @ $120 Anything out there I should consider? |

I've got a Lage folding stock on mine. It's a well built adapter. No slop when it's locked open.

Put 90 rounds through it, 40 dirty ass rounds of 115gr American Eagle and 60 rounds of Blazer Aluminum, not a single issue. Only things left to do to it are install the HBI duck bill mag release and send the trigger pack off to ShootersElement to install their flat trigger, HBI reduced weight springs and do their full polish job. Trigger isn't that bad, but having SE work some magic on it seems like a no-brainer. Still can't decide what grip I want to try out.. probably gonna go with the YetiWurks Switchback. Decided to sight in at 25 yards...this won't be a long range gun. I'm gonna look into some 124gr NATO from PSA and maybe some 147gr too, as I'm sure it can do a little better than this. I'll have to get it back out after the trigger work. I'm still happy with the results, all things considered.

I cannot find a stock folding setup at all. I can get individual pieces but it adds up. Does anyone have a lead on a folder/cheek rest in FDE with the tailhook adapter?
