Only things left to do to it are install the HBI duck bill mag release and send the trigger pack off to ShootersElement to install their flat trigger, HBI reduced weight springs and do their full polish job. Trigger isn't that bad, but having SE work some magic on it seems like a no-brainer. Good looking CZ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Atschach: Wish someone I knew had a Scorpion with Shooters Element polish job & HBI spring kit I could shoot side by side & compare to. I have the CZ custom trigger pack & just put on a HBI theta forward trigger shoe which ain’t the cheapest setup but worth every penny in my opinion. The most crisp single stage trigger I have on any gun. I’m probably gonna pick up a second scorpion soon and just wonder if the cheaper option is close enough to be worth saving the money (roughly $120 difference if you install CZ Custom trigger pack yourself) Good looking CZ Just ordered the SE trigger/polish and a Gen 3 Switchback. Should be all set once those are done/installed. I'll be sure to post some thoughts once I get it back. |

I'm about to submit my Form 1 e-file.
Factory folder and HBI icro/K conversion with their 5.3" barrel. What should my OAL be? Do I use CZ USA as manufacturer/ brand? |

Oh, and the scorpion with factory folder is 17" from butt to front of the clamshell receiver, so maybe just add the length of
the HBI guard or your barrel to that, so let's call it 22"? Close enough for government work! Mine was listed as 26", but that was when it was completely stock, now it's shorter. |

Edited to Add - Franklin Armory contacted me and gave me directions on re-torquing the trigger assy screw and polishing /lubing the bottom side of the bolt It is working now!
 easy fix!
Has anyone else had trouble with the Franklin Armory Binary Trigger? I installed mine on my Gen 2 Scorpion Evo and in binary mode it still functions as normal = Fire on pull of trigger only, not on release. Feeds functions fine otherwise Just no binary and selector verified installed properly! Installation was easy and I was able to verify binary function in manual checks with the trigger frame and binary pack outside of the gun - exactly As per directions. When inserted into the gun = no binary. Upon close inspection removing the trigger group when it happens (and keeping finger holding trigger back -the hammer appears as if it gets depressed to far downward by the bolt moving - if it goes to far, it catches the front hooks of the trigger, not the back sear that would old the hammer until released by the release of the trigger - so its behaving just like a semi auto. Not too thrilled after $500!!! 
I called Franklin nobody answered (its on the weekend) and emailed - hopefully they know if there is a fix. Anyone had this happen? My serial number is in the 900s. |

Debating between the tailhook and holding out for the CZ PDW from SB tactical. I will eventually convert the pistol to K/Micro.
Anyone know the length of pull for the CZ PDW? And is it even still going to be released? SB Tactical took the product page down... |

Time to jump back into this thread. Purchased one of the first Evos and immediately form 1’ed it prior to 41p. Barely shot it and it’s been sitting for a few years. Due to my lifestyle, not the gun.
Anyway, I’m home and got a fixed barrel spacer for my Osprey so I’ve been blasting steel all week.  Put another 350rds through it. So much fun.All I have done is throw on a Burris FF and some rail covers. Just ordered the HBI spring kit. I’d love that binary trigger, but not anytime soon. I’ll probably throw on a vfg, but I’m pretty satisfied with the stock configuration, besides the horrendous trigger pull of course. I’ve had the original 2 20 rounders and 4 original 30 rounders loaded up for a year or two. No cracked feed lips! I was thinking about trying some aftermarket mags because why not. The PGS/Manticore mags appear to be less than stellar based on reviews. Anyone have any luck with those, or are there any other options out there?

I have a tailhook with the factory folder on my scorpion pistol and love it, but that hbi zhukov folder looks awesome enough that I'm considering SBRing. Am I crazy? The tailhook doesnt really give up anything in terms of practicality or function.
Also going to do a form 1 can to dedicate to it. |

I was thinking the light itself could fold out like a FAL para charging handle, but that would be a little weird if you're trying to keep the light on something and also charge the gun

Of just under 100 have had issues, the vast majority being from the very first ones made where the molds had a some edges we ended up touching up. Also most of the mags that failed seem to be in batches run through individual guns, ie a guy would have all 4 of hos mags crack. This leads us to believe that a small number of guns have bolts contacting the feed lips. It is a theory, but this may also be why some of the CZ mags have failed. I will let you draw your own conclusions from those numbers. Sven Manticore Arms |
