Anyone here have a CZ Scorpion and know if the model year makes a difference? I'm seeing 2016 and 2017 and not sure what the difference are. I'm planning on buying the pistol to okay with while the form process to convert it to an SBR.

In case you're still wondering, here are the differences by year, from what I can tell:
2015 = plain sling slot backplate, 18x1 barrel threading, non-welded trigger pack screw
2016 = QD socket backplate, 1/2x28 barrel threading, welded trigger pack screw
2017 = QD socket backplate, 1/2x28 barrel threading, non-welded trigger pack screw
There was also a very slight change in the magazine release texture/shape sometime in early 2016, but the difference is negligible.
I'd recommend a 2017 production Scorpion. The backplate isn't that big of a deal in the long run, since you're going to be swapping in a stock eventually. But the more common 1/2x28 barrel threading makes attaching muzzle devices or silencers easier, without requiring an adapter. And the non-welded trigger pack screw means you don't have to drill out and replace the welded screw in order to swap springs/triggers/etc. (It's not hard, but it's annoying.)

So, no you cannot add a stock to it, but you can add an arm brace and any other parts you want.

Except for a vertical foregrip. Per the ATF, vertical grips are a no-no on a pistol. But angled foregrips are fine.
Save the stock and the vertical grip for after the tax stamp.
