I've been waiting on this since I seen the Israeli one. I'm in for one as soon as they come out! And I'm already good on scorpion magazines. Thanks Palmetto!

Dang I want one with a shorter barrel. PSA looks like they're going to knock it out the park this year.

Any ETA on these rifles?

All they’re saying right now is coming soon. I do hope it’s quicker than their unicorn MP5.

I can't be the only one that thinks this looks like crap..... blocky and unrefined.
Maybe my perception is off, but the Emtan MZ-9 is what I dream of when I think of a scorpion mag AR.

It will be interesting to see if New Frontier or Quarter Circle 10 jumps in the Scropion mag AR game.

Looks pretty good, but I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have AR style mag release buttons. If it's going to be on an AR platform, I at least want all the standard AR controls, but that's just me. There's another company coming out with a Scorpion mag lower, though never heard of them. It does look better designed to me than the PSA lower personally. Full ambi AR controls in addition to a paddle mag release.

I completely agree, I had high hopes for this and still do, aesthetically speaking I am disappointed though.

This one more than slightly resembles the PSA version. Although the PSA version does have a conventional charging handle. But I really did want more of an Emtan style with AR controls. I've got two AR Pistol Carbines that use modified UZI mags, a Colt and a RRA. Both work fine but always thought the stick magazine looked off. And the versions using Glock magazines look worse.

I know people say you want function over fashion but if that was 100% true, we wouldn't have such a diversified gun market. Sorry, but part of my decision in owning a weapon is aesthetics kinda like buying a boat or a car. We all have our likes and dislikes. I just want an AR style platform that uses Scorpion Mags. If the PSA functions ok and doesn't break the bank, I'm definitely in for one. And if someone comes out with ones thats better, I'm in for that too. That's what the game is all about. I like guns or I wouldn't be on this forum.

Lets just hope that High Point doesn't get the idea to make one of their carbines that use Scorpion mags.

Too funny not to comment lol! But, yea I'm in for one too. I know Josiah over at Palmetto will be relieved because I've nagged him for over a year for something like this to come out.

I like it! I'm glad to see that companies are finally getting on board with the CZ Scorpion Mags. Give it another year or two and I think it'll outdo the Glock mags both on price and aesthetics.

If you were in the market for a 9mm pistol would you wait for this to come out or get something now that takes glock mags?

Or build a stadard lower with an adapter until one comes out and then use that lower for another build and swap in the scorpion one

I have a Scorpion, I have a glock mag ar9.  My opinion the scorpion mag will be better than the Glock mag AR9.

I also have a Scorpion, Kel-Tec Sub2000 that takes Glock Mags and two Colt pattern AR 9mm carbines. Ones a Colt, the other RRA. I'm still going to purchase an AR-pattern rifle that use Scorpion mags. One, I like the geometry of the curved magazine compared to the stick and two, I've got 4 times the number of 30-rd Scorpion mags compared to the Glock 33-rd ones. Both the Colt 32rd and Glock 33rd round magazines are currently running $30 each or more while I picked up 20 Palmetto AK-V/Scorpion mags for $12 each that have been running without issues.

With the new Scorpion mags by CZ, Magpul now in the game with the 35 rd mag and 50rd drum, I feel that would solidly cover my bases in addition to the other Scorpion mags I have.( PSA & Manticore Arms).  As always, YMMV but as for me I'm still in the game for one or two.

Pick your poison, both are fugly.  I went with the Endomag system.  I expect there will be other Scorpion mag options with much better ergo's coming out soon.

Dont even say that. Dont distract QC10 from their P320 goals.

Actually go ahead and let them. I want to see New Frontier, QC10, and PSA duke it out over this stuff

I like where your head's at. I have Colt mags and no 9mm AR.

It may make the wait for the NFA folding Scorpion lower tolerable.

Well, being I have a Scorpion, I see a one of the Scorpion mags lowers to go with my Colt and Glock PCC's

I just want one of these lowers to be compatible with CMMG's radial delayed blowback system. Missed out on PSA's colt mag lowers and PSA branded colt mags(here is to hoping they make them again one day) so I definitely want to get in on this. Especially since PSA makes cheap scorpion mags.
Combine it with a side charging upper, and i would be set.
