So what was CZ's original motivation for 18mm threads? Are they popular in Europe?
I refuse to believe CZ's US market research led them to think the US market wanted them... |

They didn't care what was popular in the civilian market when they designed it for military use. It was probably the closest size to the barrel profile to minimize machine time. |

I'm going to shoot mine for the first time tomorrow. If it doesn't blow up or malfunction, I'll submit a stamp soon too.
I have the world model, does anyone foresee any issues regarding the oval insert and the cut in the bolt? Sort of a strange question but I want to make sure mine is good to go before I file for a stamp. |

I was going to have mine rethreaded too, but I didn't want to bother with it, so I went ahead and bought a Silencerco direct thread adapter as I will be using my Octane 45 on it until my Omega 9k gets approved. Having a dedicated can I don't see the need for rethreading or 3-lug. If I was switching it between host, yes. But for my application simple is best. Edit: I'm also hoping the flash hider spring clip keeps the can from backing off. If not, I will have to do a 3-lug. I will know soon enough, as my thread adapter should be here by Wednesday. |

You may find someone who will do the disassembly for you but unless they're local, you have the hassle of shipping a pistol. |

Its not that hard to get the barrel assembly out, and it can be threaded with the trunion thing still on it. I had mine done by US Machinegun and he did a fantastic job, was about $100 with shipping. |

Does anyone know the thread pattern of the ejector pin (http://shop.cz-usa.com/ProductDetail/366005500703_Ejector-Pin-Evo) for the Evo?
I ordered a new lower and the hole for it isn't threaded and was debating on threading it myself or just trying to get the screw to self thread. |

I just picked up a scorpion Friday with the cz brace kit and sig brace. I just found this topic today and saw the post about the welded trigger group nut. Unfortunately mine is welded and before finding this out I was going to order the HBI trigger spring so I guess I will have to wait. As far as turning this into an sbr, what other parts can I use to make it 922 compliant? I can't change out the trigger spring so that's out. Does the brace kit or sig brace count? I assume not but I'm not sure. What would be the best parts to choose? New grip, charging handle, trigger shoe? Thanks and sorry if this has been addressed.

Just drill out that welded screw. Plenty have done it already. Or just file your form 1. You can wait for CZ to start swapping out the lowers and do the upgrades then.

Drilling out the welded collar is easy. Took 5 mins to do. I used a dremel with a grinding bit. It worked better than a drill bit. Then just unscrew the bolt. The collar is not needed. Here you can see what mint looks like with the welded collar removed.

And 18mm is common? It just seems very large given the barrel thickness seems like it was the obvious size to use. screws/nuts/bolts etc are made with 1 or 2mm increments usually... 18 is quite common, 17 or 19mm I guess would have been weird even for us european ETA: I dont know why but couldnt resist and ordered a barrel cooler (item no.4) that is usually missing on the civilian version..
anyone installed one already?

That will work. An alternative if you don't want to spend money on the barrel, you could just remove the factory flash hider. Replace with a US made one from Manticore or CZ Custom or nothing at all. |

There's been a lot of talk about rethreading. I would like a different spin on the topic. <--- (You see what I did there...
)Instead of rethreading, is there a list of suppressors that have an 18mm mount? I ordered the Gemtech multimount because I found, and bought their Scorpion mount. I just don't know who else plans to have or makes a scorpion mount. |

CZ is finally sending me a free replacement firing pin. Should be here Saturday. Too bad the one I already ordered and paid for got here 3 days ago.

I just don't know who else plans to have or makes a scorpion mount. I had started a thread awhile back on the suppressor forum about the same thing. Here is the list that I have found: Gemtech Multimount Octane Fixed mount (Octane, Omega 9k, Griffin Revolution 9) Bowers Vers 9, 9s |

I paid to much for it and it was before I saw the post on about Rainier having them in stock  KYGunco is slow in shipping them out. I should have mine on weds and finally my SBR can be created. I've had the form 1 back for months but no 922r kit. I'm not sure about the gen type from KYgunco but I will post it when it arrives.

I have the Octane 45 and the gemtech mulitmount. If I were to do it over again it would be Octane only. The Multi mount is a good suppressor and shorter than the Octane 45 but I really have developed a hatred for cleaning aluminium baffles on gemtechs. |

I agree they were painfully slow on shipping it was 8-9 business days before mine shipped .... I am just spoiled by Amazon prime and Primary Arms |

I overpaid for my Scorpion on gunbroker thinking that I was getting one of the last of the pre-world guns. Instead, I received one of the first of the world feature ones just as the flood gates opened up on the supply (i.e. I could have got one much cheaper one week later). You won't remember what it cost you a year from now, but you will be happy that you have it... |
