I've been looking everywhere and can't find any announcement. The gun was announced in Nov, reviewed by Colon Noir, and at shot show they said a few months. Are we close? I'm feeling the itch. Last recent update from CZ is that they are waiting for ATF approval. ATF is busy doing other stuff so they have no idea when it will be approved. |

Per my point of contact at CZ-USA the Scorpion 16" carbines have started shipping to distributors as of last week- they will start showing up for sale very soon.

Put one w/ the faux can on order yesterday. Our rep says 'soon', but I figure there's more than enough time to shop for upgrade parts and select an optic.

I'm wanting to order one... but I want to know about the difference in barrels - does the faux suppressor barrel actually have a short barrel with a pinned fake can on it?
I'm definitely going to SBR when I get one, and use my can on it. I just want to go with whichever version will end up being the easiest to SBR. |

Excellent question and one I asked our distributor's armorer, but he couldn't answer as they haven't seen them yet. My guess, it's mostly likely pinned to make it 16.2", less likely that it's a shroud.
I wonder if we could get some details out of SilencerCo since they build the faux can? CZ was saying that the 08505 (or 08506 10rd mag version) could be 'easily converted...or ready to be convert to SBR'. Although, as I search for it I'm not finding that description any longer. What are you planning to upgrade? So far I know I'm going to change the safety but haven't decided with what, possibly trigger springs (want to shoot it first), and add a rear QD socket from Parker Mountain. That fast paddle release from Gear Head Works also looks interesting. It's good to have choices. |

I think it's easier to make the pistol an SBR though isn't it? I'm guessing the carbine will be easier to SBR, but I guess it depends on what you call "easy". The carbine just needs a barrel swap (or cut+rethread). The pistol needs a stock+922 parts. Barrel swap/work might be cheaper too. As far as the fake suppressor - I'm guessing it has the same 16" threaded barrel, and the fake can just threads on like a shroud. :( It might be better if it has the pistol barrel with a pinned shroud, but I kinda doubt that's the case - pretty sure I read somewhere that both versions of the carbine have the same 1/2-28 threads but there wasn't mention of them having the same barrel so I guess we'll see. |

As I recall it is a 16" barrel with a slipover fake suppressor, reason being there is no way to actually pin a suppressor on the 8" barrel on the extended forend due to the handguard mounting mettod

Quote HistoryWould a barrel have to be cut or can it be swapped with a shorter barrel easily? It could be cut and threaded or you could install a new shorter barrel. Installing a new barrel would require sending it in and paying for fitting the new barrel. The prices i have seen for the new fitting are $60-$100 plus the cost of the new barrel($180). So it would be cheaper to just cut and thread. |

Yeah, that makes sense. I have some confidence that ETS is going to come through and make USA mags, so there'll be less concern about 922 then, especially if you're going to run an aftermarket trigger / muzzle device / stock anyway. Should be good to go... but yeah, 922 brings the suckage and certainly makes the carbine more attractive. Be good for states that ban SBRs too.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I just want a usable gun without having to wait for or deal with the additional hassle of getting an SBR approved. If down the road I change my mind I can SBR the carbine and have the barrel cut down without having to worry about parts but that's not strictly necessary to enjoy carbine and use it for what I want to use it for. |

So to all the people saying they will cut and thread the barrel eventually, is cutting and threading a DIY job? Or is it a little more complex and require sending it off to a gunsmith? I know it's hard to say without actually seeing these, but if anyone has any extra info I'm curious on how easy these are to get to SBR configuration. If it does require pulling the barrel then the cost of getting it SBR'd might go up pretty quick.

Mine is shipping in the next day or so, so they're in the country and through customs.
Thought I'd have more time to evaluate the various upgrade options. Now I've got to decide on a safety. That AK safety intrigues me. I wish there were more grip options too. Decisions decisions.  At least I've already picked up an MRO for the optic. |

Are the ones everyone's seeing available the ones with the faux suppressor? I kinda don't want that one. If it's all I can get, well, fuck it. We'll see. |

I am seriously looking at the Trijicon RMR and Reflex because I like the big dot they have. I mean realistically a 6 MOA dot is perfect for this gun. I'm not shooting it much further than 100 yards ever. I'd put it on about 10 mins before I took the photo. It's the basic Trijicon lower 1/3 mount, but seems suitable. My initial impression, with a solid cheek weld forward on the stock, just behind the hinge, it's comfortable. To get a good sight picture on the iron sights, I have to move my head back to the lower portion of the stock which doesn't feel as natural. Plan to shoot it in a carbine match this weekend if I can get the trigger group cleaned up and new springs installed. I'll know pretty quickly if I need to make some changes to the mount. I've also got a Mepro RDS I could throw on it, but the MRO is quickly growing on me. |

Do they paint over the weld, top of the spacer?.. The welded nut could be seen inside, in front of the trigger group. It was definitely welded. I wasn't patient enough to wait on the carbide tipped bit (see the exchange program thread) and it was a lot harder job than it should have been. |

My carbine trigger pack is welded. :(
The gun looks and shoots well though 
The only problem I ran into was I almost had to bottom out the front sight post to get it to hit COM at 25 yards. I sighted it in at an indoor range and that was the furthers I could do. It shoots exceptional well. I'm going to drill the trigger weld out and swap the springs but otherwise it's fantastic. I really really want to get a Trijicon Reflex with the 6.5 MOA green dot to put it on it. I think that combined with the trigger springs will make it a crazy good USPSA PCC gun. I also put some Parker Mountain Machine Safety Levers on it along with his rear QD sling attach 
And I put a Magpul M-Lok QD sling on the front of the handguard 
The Parker Mountain Machine Safety Levers are a HUGE improvement. Huge. They feel so much better than the standard one and the short one I put on the right side of my gun is the perfect place to push up with my trigger finger kunckle and doesn't get in the way when shooting. |

Nice! That rear QD mount looks like something I need.
I'd also suggest the HB industries refresh pack, or another trigger pack screw replacement. The stock 2mm hex nut strips like it's a top heavy blonde working her way through college. |
