Probably an uptick in demand as people see Magpul getting into the game and a critical mass being reached to ensure long lasting popularity / after market support.

I shot my Scorpion carbine over the weekend and noticed the handguard was moving slightly as the barrel warmed up.
Got home after it cooled and zero movement but I was concerned. Checked online and the carbine tools were sold out so I ran to Lowe's and bought a 21mm socket and cut it, then attached to a 1" pipe to use on the barrel nut. I was able to remove the barrel nut by hand without the vise or a wrench. There was no loctite on the nut. So now it is snugged down and has some blue loctite. I need to get out and shoot before a USPSA local match Saturday and make sure my red dot is still zeroed....a split second of inattention and I loosened the vise after torquing the muzzle device and dropped the Scorpion off the bench onto the garage floor...... |

Anyone know the official torque spec in foot pounds for the Scorpion barrel nut??? |

God help me I just snagged a Micro for $1150. I have a Franklin binary trigger laying around and didn't want to put it in my first Gen SBR, so the micro was the obvious choice for a new project. Should have it next week, but I'm really excited about the way CZ has embraced aftermarket add-ons like the handguard and the collapsible brace.

I took an old file like this pictured above and ground the end flat, put a screw driver or bolt thru the hole in the other end to make a “T wrench”. Place the ground end with masking tape to keep the file teeth from scaring the faux suppressor. Apply a good amount of down pressure and start twisting to remove. As long as you take your time, keep good pressure while twisting it will unscrew. Something to hold the gun from moving will make everything easier. I have a old acog mount that I clamped onto the rail to hold the gun in a vise upside down. |

More on my Micro . . .
To get the faux suppressor off the gun I had to fashion a tool like Andrewz reported above. I used a 1" wide chisel and ground/files two steps into the end. The first step was approx 1/2" wide to give a portion of the blade that would drop into the barrel extension and help keep the tool centered. The next step was approx 3/4" wide which is the approx width across the extension and sits in the slots at the end of the extension. I clamped on a set of vice grips to be the lever to turn the tool. I carefully tightened the muzzle end of the gun in a padded vice for the removal. I then used a small propane torch to shoot flame into the opening of the extension at an angle. I applied heat until there was some smoke coming out from under the handguard telling me it was heating up the factory oils and hopefully the locktite on the barrel threads. I inserted my tool and applied inward pressure while turning with vice grips. Due to the heat the extension came loose easily.

Another note from my playing with my Micro today. The collapsible brace is held in place by a small set screw that goes in at a downward angle. Remove the set screw and you can pop the brace mount off the gun. In un-elegant fashion, the set screw just gouges into the polymer at the back of the receiver.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jmreagan: Is the PDW brace different between the Micro and the 7.72" barreled models? I got my 7.72" barreled Scorpion back in January. It came with the Manticore/SB-Tac brace. Mine is 3 position and it's very solid. It's held on really snugly by the mounting bracket slots, the Scorpions rear receiver's "plunger/detent", (for lack of a better word)... said plunger/detent is spring loaded and locks into yet another recess locking hole on the back-side of the mounting bracket, and lastly with the set-screw... I actually took my brace's mounting bracket off Sunday morning to replace said mounting bracket with a replacement one from Manticore. The original mounting bracket/plate's QD attachment hole was slightly enlarged and therefore, out of spec... allowing every Magpul QD I own to pull out with just a medium to firm yank. Manticore was great about sending me a new one out fast so no worries there. Anyways, I was/am impressed with the mounting sequence on mine and it's rigidness. Mine is attached firm & tight. I made sure to put 2 dabs of Blue Loc-Tite on the set screw and the bracket/brace is set and good to go. That said, I'd like to have at least one more position slot in the rails on mine but otherwise it's pretty damned good!
