Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HALFNATTYGAINZ: I'm increasingly mixed about this but I agree. The problem is PCCs are in a mixed spot.

It's essentially a handgun firepower in a bigger package so it's easier to shoot....and if that's the case I might as well just train more with my handguns to get better at them" . Then I tell myself to not take it too seriously and that not every gun has to be a "go-to" with a ultimate utility.

PCC are just about the last thing I'm going to grab if I'm worried about terminal ballistics. I'm keeping the longer barrel just for the hand space on the factory handguard. |

Like they make(made?) a short 5.56, a super short 7.62...but for decades every military, LE, organizations units wanted 9mm. Making things easier to shoot isn't always a handicap thing like on the range. Making something easier to shoot means more shots on target, faster follow up shots...etc. |

I keep looking at it & that's how it appears. What am I not seeing or missing? Ah I understand now. There a pretty significant step down from the barrel to the threading on the muzzle. But no, it's not internally threaded like a shotgun. The Gemtech tri-lug male adapter screws on like a flash hider. https://www.gemtech.com/male-3-lug-adapter-1-2-28.html This pic kinda shows what the threading looks like on my CZ barrel (under the flash can).  https://hbindustries.net/store/shop/cz-scorpion-micro-k-barrel/ I read it's best to buy all your accessories for suppressors from the suppressor manufacturer for best fit. So with my Gemtech Lunar 9, I bought the above male tri-lug adapter and female tri-lug "receptacle." The theory is that these will have the tightest fit without loosening up. https://www.gemtech.com/3-lug-mount.html  Attached File |

Sure They fit a specific role and cant be used as an AR but they work fine on bad guys |

Making things easier to shoot isn't always a handicap thing like on the range. Making something easier to shoot means more shots on target, faster follow up shots...etc. Agree. I think the military folks only switched away from 9mm because the % of bad guys being engaged with body armor/ higher level armor increased. The police units always want what the super cool operators are using so many also switched to 5.56 platforms but didn’t need to. They get sued so much anyway, the frequency of situations where they’d need the longer reach of a 5.56 platform vs 9mm is basically nil because once it’s out at that range, they probably have the SWAT marksman/ sniper on a .308 or larger platform anyway. For home defense uses, there is basically very little advantage to a short 5.56 platform vs a PCC. |

I'll tell you I'm not sure what he is getting at. Watch this. 3 lug muzzle device this is basically what I did. That being said I did not put an adapter/cover on the other threads the flash suppressor came off of. I think mine has both the 18x1 AND SAE standard 1/2x28 muzzle threads. If yours is newer I suspect you will want the 1/2 x 28, unless your getting a suppressor with the other threads. I suppose you can but why you would,. I don't know. |

Not in a place to watch that video right now. Will try to watch it later. Having never seen one and not having access to one makes it realllly hard to visualize it all… I’m going to be using a cz scorp + YHM R9. So tell me if I have the concept down…. A tilting barrel hand gun requires a 9mm suppressor + Nelson spring + Nelson booster. A fixed barrel gun like the cz scorp has a fixed barrel that does not move so you don’t want to use the spring OR Nelson booster… So… if your suppressor is designated in one way, you remove the spring and Nelson booster & then Stick a spacer inside there to take up the space…. Other suppressors do not require that spacer and you just use them the way they are… So with my sc scorp I was just going to use thy following… R9 + mine QD flash hider (YHM-4315'S) + phantom QD adapter (YHM-3060) Note: I’m doing those parts off the top of my head. Hopefully I put the right ones down with out being able to look at my comp to check. Do I still need a spacer with that stuff? Or with the R9? I know the R9 also has a Nelson booster assembled you can use with it and it also has a 3-lug assembled you could also use. |

I haven’t followed this thread in a while. I remember a while back people were having trouble with the magpul scorpion mags. Are they still problematic? I’ve got a bunch of the old school clear 30 rounders with cracked feed lips. They’ve already been replaced by CZ once and they’re cracked again. CZ wants me to return them again and wait till god knows when they’ll be back in stock to replace them. I’m fine with that but I shoot it quite a bit and I’d rather not be that low on mags. What are the best mags that I can get now days?
Also, I’m sure this subject has been beaten to death but I’m not going through nearly 250 pages. Thanks in advance for the help! |

Just traded into a Scorpion S1 carbine. Two questions on upgrades:
1. Manticore Arms claims their rail "free-floats" the barrel. Do the other rails, HBI/MI, not? I'm looking for a 11"-12" rail either MA or HBI 2. I'd like to SBR down the road with a replacement barrel? What are my options for the 7"-9" area? Id rather a 2nd barrel and keep my 16" as a spare. |

 Got an ejector and mag spring coming in on Friday. Any recommendations where I could find a cheap take off charging handle and safety pieces from someone who upgraded? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Frens: Latest windowed mags have been super reliable in my limited experience. Order some while you wait for the replacements. Hopefully the replacement will be the black windowed as well. I’m asked them if they’d send me the black windowed replacements. This is the second time I’ve had to send mags back because of the feed lip issue. While CZ has always been easy to work with on this I’m tired of it. I want to be rid of the clear mags for good. We’ll see what they do. |

Haven’t seen them for sale locally in along time. |

Midway just dropped the price on the black windowed one a couple more bucks. Now $15.99. I picked up 4 more a couple weeks ago with free shipping; if these are still around for the next free shipping I may need to grab more.
