Picked it up today from my FFL, purchased on gunbroker for way too much money but oh well! First impressions are that it's much more solid than I expected. It has a good weight to it and the magazine system is one of the smoothest loading I've experienced. I only put a couple rounds through it just for a function test more than anything. The ambi safety is horrible and was immediately digging into my finger on the off hand side. I hated to do it, but ground it down immediately. I don't think it's shootable without gloves the way it comes. The safety attaches with a small allen bolt through the top, I couldn't find the right size but looks as though you can just unscrew the bolt to remove it and dremel it down. Once I get the right size allen key I'll round it and sand it up so it looks better. I put a primary arms aimpoint clone on it and with a Vortex low ring it cowitnesses about the 1/3. I only wish the mount had a QD, the height is listed as .83" or 21mm. I can barely slip the front cover on, it makes contact with rail but shouldn't effect anything. My brace adapter should be here today I'll post a range report when I get a chance to shoot more. The iron sights are very high quality but I did notice the rear is shifted to the right quite a bit, not sure if they were factory sighted but seemed odd.

My original plan on the safety was to just grind the lever down more flush, but the stem sticking down is hollow so that wouldn't work. I'm seriously impressed with the sights, I'd love to buy another set for my AUG since they are lower than standard. I thought the four peep sizes was kind of a waste but it's actually pretty cool. I have the largest shown in the picture and it really washes out with your eyes when your looking at the red dot. The smallest size is perfect for longer shots and I like that they are same plane.

Got the pistol buffer tube adapter and is very nice. Don't have a brace for it but it works great just using as a cheek weld. I noticed I could only get 18 rounds in one of the mags. Opened it up and found the spring was in backward. Switched it around and now it works perfect.

That's what I got for whenever I get a scorpion... It seems really well made. I have a buffer tube adaptor coming too so I'm not sure of the tube length vs a carbine buffer tube. But I have one of their keyed buffer tubes and castle nut for the brace as well. Does the adapter come with the set screws for a diffrent buffer tube? |

I'll grind mine down tomorrow. PA red dot should be here Thursday. Yours looks great.

The Thordsen setup is much more compact and looks more "clean" than the goofy ass rubber brace. |

Didn't come with the set screws for a standard buffer tube but provided the size in the paperwork. I thought about selling off the sight and getting a micro style but I was concerned about whether it would still cowitness. If it does I'll probably throw a Bushnell or PA micro on there instead.

I currently have a holosun HS403A on my vepr 12. I recently got a PA MD-ADS. I think I will put the PA on the vepr and the holosun on the scorpion. The center of the holosun is about 11/16" above the rail or .687" I think that will be closer to an absolute co-witness rather than the lower 1/3 you have now. |

Yeah they are cool for sure. But the recent reiteration that a arm brace is not to be used on the shoulder makes this pointless unless you sbr it.
And am I the only one that would rather it in 40sw or 45? |

Just shot 40 rounds through it in the freezing blowing snow. Sighted in 25yd and can shoot easily 1" groups with optic or irons. Shot a catail in half at 30yds with a few rounds. Shot a couple around 150 and could easily hit a person didn't have a chance to check grouping at that distance yet. Mags ran great no issues. I think its as accurate as any close quarters gun. The buffer tube rested against your cheek makes it rock solid. Overall I'm absolutely satisfied!

I would definitely be on board for 10mm. |

Scope doesn't look right on it I noticed that with mine. I think I will be taking the optic off and just using irons. While the sights are nice, they don't work that great with cowitnessing. They do cowitnessing lower 1/3 with the Sparc II, but the irons crowd the optic.

Wonder how it'd look with just a red dot on top, no iron sights crowding in.

I think 20 rounders are available but 30's are out. I'm going to wait for more 30's to become available and pick some up. The guns come with two 20 rounders.

Is it easy to get behind optics with it? |

I'm gueeing LOP would be perfect along with cheek weld if you were to shoulder it.

How do you remove the selector? I'm ready to grind mine down after shooting it.

If you put it on "fire" you can see an Allen head bolt that holds it on. I believe it was on top and removing the trigger assembly makes it easier to get to. Just remove the screw and it comes off, then grind it down.
