That's the same mag as an Uzi but with a different mag catch cutout correct? Like many others, I have plenty of Colt SMG mags lying around, and would give this thing a try while I'm waiting for the Manticores to arrive. |

I don't have much knowledge about those magazines. Are there any functional benefits or is it just extra magazine compatibility?

Well my scorpion got a haircut tonight curiosity of manitcore. Still waiting for the 3 lug adapter to be delivered on Friday so the obsidian can go back on it. What a difference the hand guard and shorter barrel makes. Hated those cheese graters and the barrel length.

FWIW UZI Pro mags are also available in 20s & 25s if you want a steel mag option that's shorter. The shorter mags are usually a few bucks cheaper.

Straight steel mags have some benes. |

That's exactly how mine is going to be set up until the SBR paperwork comes back. What're your thoguhts on that Apex grip? I'm also thinking of going with their ambi-safety. Not sure if I'm gonna do that or go with the single-sided safety (i'm lefty, would hate to have a righty pick up my gun and not be able to use the safety). |

Quick question, is not being able to cycle the bolt while the gun is on safe after pulling the trigger a usual thing?
I dry fired the gun, put it on safe, and my gun won't let me hand cycle the bolt unless it's on fire. This a normal thing? I've been reading parts of this thread in chunks but I'm only about 20 pages or so in. Edit: quick google says yes, this is normal. |

Looks are subjective and in my book the stock mags look way nicer and look like they belong in the gun not adapted to fit.

Rocksett is like loctite but it is impervious to heat. You use water to release it. CZ used/uses red loctite and if they put alot on it makes removing the handguard difficult. |

 Attached FileI kinda dig the look of the uzi pro mags in a modified scorpion. I agree with the shared sentiment that they are an eye sore in a stock cz. I'll def buy some manticore mags when they are released, but I may also try some uzi mags. I like variety and don't want to steer people away from innovating. I had a factory cz feed lip break on me a few months back and cz never emailed me back. |

Okay, I expect to get hated for this, but ... I know it's a matter of personal preference, chocolate/vanilla, big tits/little tits, tatts/pureskin, etc., but I don't understand all the pistol and SBR rage with the Scorpion. I have to confess I have never really "gotten" the whole SBR thing anyway ... it's a PITA to get a stamp, and you're basically ending up with a snub-nose rifle. And the pistol just seems to me to an awkward and impractical thing.
With the Scorpion you're chambering a pistol cartridge to begin with, and with the carbine you get a longer barrel for more velocity and energy. That's probably even a bigger factor when running a suppressor, which most here seem to be doing. I'm just curious. |

I think If you have ever really handled an sbr rifle you would get it. For one, cheap shooting 9mm caliber. Not a lot of flash for lower light shooting. Not much recoil, very accurate out to 100 yards. Very compact, a lot less chance of over penetration if using correct ammunition (though most calibers have frangible rounds these days). It's all personal preference and for few maybe a need.

I wouldn't personally chop mine even shorter (barrel and handguard) but it's far more useful with a stock than in pistol form. If you haven't shot one in SBR form, do it before knocking it

I have to confess I have never really "gotten" the whole SBR thing anyway ... it's a PITA to get a stamp, and you're basically ending up with a snub-nose rifle. And the pistol just seems to me to an awkward and impractical thing. The Scorpion, as a pistol IS awkward and impractical, no doubt about that, especially compared to any kind of normal 9mm (Glock 34 or 17L with a threaded bbl are close enough). This shouldn't be a surprise though, it's designed to be a rifle. Holding most rifles are arms length like a pistol is awkward. As an SBR, however, these are fun guns and they certainly could be practical if you really wanted to run one as a practical weapon. If SAS can storm an embassy with an MP5, you could use the Scorp in a similar fashion. Lots of haters of PCCs these days say 7.62x39 or 556 is the way to go for small PDW/PCC type weapons. I'm not entirely convinced. 9mm has much less muzzle flash and is much lower pressure than a similar-length 7.62x39 or 556 would be. They also silence much better. Subsonic ammo is cheap/common. They say that pistol ammo isn't effective at stopping people, but 9mm has killed more people than any other caliber. Maybe not instant death or anything, but the idea that it can't get the job done is a little silly. Spec ops guys toting 9mm sub guns have wacked a LOT of people since WWII. If you do your job it can get it done. Can't help you on the NFA front. Some people are willing to do it, some aren't. It's personal preference. I have a medium sized stamp collection (13...or 14? I forget). At times the waiting is annoying, but it is what it is. No (legal) way around it. I can tell you that if I had to put a 16" bbl on my Scorpion, I probably wouldn't own one....but I don't, so I do.

It's a cheap accurate reliable lower report 50 yard gun that's pretty cool to look at too. I E-filed which was pretty easy and wish that was still an option. It was my first SBR but not my last and I do plan on suppressing all the things, just hoping HPA advances. For me also, it's a great way to show new shooters the difference in accuracy between a shoulder fired weapon and a handgun. |

I wasn't putting the hate on those who like SBR's, it's just something I've personally never really understood. I can see how they make sense for SS, spetsnaz, etc., who have to go into tight confines and do lots of CQB work, but for the average guy it just seems to me to be something cool that's really not very practical. But that's just me.
The only reason I mention it at all is that I've found 10 times as many review and test videos on youtube about Evo pistols and SBR's than about the carbines, and it made me scratch my head. I'm wanting a 16" carbine myself, and as soon as I can find the dough I'm going to get one. I guess it's supply and demand at work, but I find it amusing you can get an AR or an AK for $400 less than a 9mm PCC.
