So I am debating going down this rabbit hole with a Draco and SBR'ing it. But I also am thinking of SBR'ing an Scorpion EVO instead. Can only afford one right now so what say the community?

Yes I know an undergo leer could be about the same length but I want a side folder ak pistol. Give me some opinions guys, and keep it professional plz.

I don't understand the appeal of SBR'ing an AK. They are already short enough, especially a side or underfolder.

The Skorpion I own and am considering buying a stamp and stock for it. That would be sexy. And the way the gun was intended.

My thing is I have adhd of the gun lol, I'm bad about trading X for Z, so having it as a NFA item locks me into it which I'm ok with. Thing is I can get the AK and tax stamp for the cost of just an EVO, IF I can even find an EVO.

The Scorpion is fairly inexpensive to feed (9mm), has cheap mags that aren't too difficult to get (at least right now), and is a ton of fun.

The Draco is fairly inexpensive to feed (7.62x39), has cheap mags that aren't too difficult to get (Surplus, or Tapco if you're trying to save money), and is a ton of fun.

Obviously you should get both.

I want both trust me, however I'm waiting on this years bonus and have to find a dang EVO in stock. But I can order a Draco today and have enough now to cover it that's squirreled away from my wife

Are you concerned about 41F? If that's the case, probably get the Draco. Scorpions are selling out very quickly right now, so getting one before the deadline might be tough.

That's a little bit of it, the other side is I already have an AR15 SBR and it needs company

Do the AK, I love my m92 SBR.

Picking up my M92 tomorrow, sbr paperwork will be submitted once WA's new sbr clears early June.

I was on the fence about the scorpion, but I already have an AK figured it would be easier not having to by a bunch of mags since I already have them.

You are missing out. SBR'd AKs are a lot of fun and are great for something like a truck gun.

I just finished SBRing my M92. I have probably about $750 total with stamp, so about the cost of just a Scorpion.

But the scorpion is next ony list for an SBR.

I just ordered my Draco today, hopefully it's in next week and I can blast it next Sunday before I go on vacation. Then the hunt is on for an Scorpion, cause why the hell not right? Oh and I guess two more form 1 cans.

Just got my stamp back for my draco. Ordered everything except the stormwerkz hinge as its out of stock at the moment. Never saw the point of a pistol caliber carbine personally. If i had too much money maybe but idon't and not wasting money especially that much for pistol performance.

What do you need? Don't forget, the Draco/M92 route yields a short barreled RIFLE. 7.62x39 at 50, 100 or 200 yards is far more effective as an offensive/defensive round than 9mm. Don't get me wrong, I have a couple of pistol caliber carbines. They are fun, cheap to shoot, and serve their purpose, but they are not a rifle. If you want cheap shits and giggles, by all means go the PCC route. If you ever think you might want/need to rely on this weapon for more, get the Draco or M92.

YMMV

This. Then get the pistol carbine. (semi is just a novelty anyways).

Especially since you're talking HD

I went with the 7.62 ak vs the 9mm. I like the idea of an SBR that cheaper to plink with than my AR and packs more punch for use as my truck gun.

I have both. I love both. My suggestion is to go with the Scorpion first, IF you can find one. If you can't, AKs are a dime a dozen and easy to find. You can always settle for the AK.

What?
Not that I agree with your logic but AKs are steadily increasing in price while Scorpions are coming down (I paid $758 last week) and gen 2 are rolling out.

Draco is more bang for your buck

Also, I have to believe at some point AK pistols will be banned from import.

Evo is cool, but you are going to spend a lot more on it and it doesn't make your dick as hard when you shoot it as the draco does.

Draco was my first SBR. I only paid $300 for it back in the day.

So I'm halfway there, got in the Draco, swapped out some parts for American made stuff to be "compliant"

Here it is pre SBR paperwork with a welded 5.5" muzzle device.
