About suppressor: I bought a hybrid for mine--because it looked so cool in silencerco's marketing pics.
Also, for those who want an Omega 9k--sico opened up speq pricing for all ex mil for May, my price was $599 + tax, so about $640 OTD |

These homebrew cans may seem hokey (I certainly thought they were) but they are no joke when it comes to performance. I built a 22lr can with SD Tactical tube and endcaps, and it works like a charm. Shot it alongside a friend's Spectre II and only the first round pop was noticeably quieter with the Spectre II. |

I'm building a dedicated can for my Evo but it's gonna get welded on to make it a 1 stamp gun so I'm worried about concentricity and it being a good can for the gun. What was the source of your poi issues? Your can seems to be nice and short, but a good thickness unlike throwing a skinny pistol can on a rifle. |

Will order me a couple set for sure if they do. Amazon reviewer: I just received this magazine pouch, other customers are correct about the fact that this pouch is intended for straight mags. That being said I was able to squeeze CZ scorpion magazines into the pouch, they are extremely tight, and I'm going to leave them in to see how it will break in since it has elastic bands to help with retention. As of now I would recommend this product for CZ scorpion mags, just be aware it will be a tight fit but I can't complain because of how cheap these are.
I will update this after I let the pouch break in, if any issues with how they fit arise. see less By Matt on January 2, 2016 There must be some manufacturing variances at play here because there's no way I'm getting Scorpion mags into these pouches that showed up yesterday. I manned up and after some wrangling, they do fit. It took a little time and effort but they will fit with some muscling.

It also has a corresponding shiny mark on the barrel "fixation insert". My scorpion has functioned perfectly for the 100 or so rounds I've put through it so far - and while I'm not worried about this, I will keep an eye on it. Bob S. |

I pull them out and put them back into it often I'm hoping it will loosen up more in time. For the cost though they will serve there purpose no doubt. |

Just submitted my first Form 1 for a can; something I'd never thought i'd do. I plan on using my scorpion to test it at first.
This will be a pistol can mainly but I thought it might be cool to make it out of titanium and create it in a way so that I might be able to use it on a rifle too. Hopefully I can also design it so that it can accept wipes. I got plans for a few more cans too! Is there any company that is offering modular tubes? or would I be better off submitting a full sized stamp and a "K" stamp? |

I left this thread a while back for monetary reasons..... But I saw multiple scorpions at saxet gunshow in San Antonio today. Price was $750-799 and I believe they were original, the one I looked at did not appear to be a world model. In case anyone is worried about availability still.
I was at Capitol armory and they showed me the omega 9k on a 3 lug. Gonna have to buy that now for the scorp. |

I doubt the CAD files have this "feature" in the diagram. Please post a pic of your clean bolts. I have seen about 2 dozen Scorpions and every single one has this, so I am genuinely curious. |

I shot 125 rounds today with no issues. I will post a pic of the bolt when I get around to cleaning it.

I'm eyeing up some of the SD tac "B" cell solvent tubes for my form 1 build.
Does anyone know if anyone has thread protectors for the 18x1 threads? Or would I have to get the 1/2x28 then get an adapter for the 18x1? Also are there any modular tubes out there yet? |

And unless you want it to fit under an extended handguard, a wider tube like a D tube will give you more volume at a shorter length. I don't know of any 18x1 thread protectors out there besides the flash hider that came with the gun. If you have an existing can I can understand using an adapter but if this form 1 is going to be dedicated for the Scorpion you can source a 18x1 direct thread for your can, Big Waylon helped me. |

Interesting... That's why some other people weren't responding to my questions, lol. Thanks! I submitted a form 1 for an 8" can. Thinking I could use it for both pistol and rifle if I use mainly Ti components. I'll also be submitting a stamp for a "K" can. The K can will probably be D sized. The K can will most likely be mainly for the evo. However I'll probably use both my 8" can and my K can on my evo. |

I'm considering going the form 1 route with a DM aluminum kit with a 6" long 1.625" diameter tube. They have an 18x1 endcap for the aluminum and stainless kits; not titanium though.

I know there's an answer out there somewhere but I assume I can order them, no problem. |
