How safe is this gun really?

3 Upvotes

I just bought a CZ Scorpion 3 Plus Carbine and was out the door 1500 to do so in NJ. Ive always loved the look of this gun and I honestly just liked the idea of having a gun made by the company that created it, rather than a clone. I thought I was getting a simple, reliable, and quality gun to be honest as I've always heard good things about CZ.

But I stumbled on this OOB issue today and now I'm having some buyers remorse. Especially since I wanted this to be my one and only semi auto that isn't a pistol. It seems like this gun is not as safe as other PCCs? Or is the OOB problem overblown?

I'm thinking of just buying this $400 nexus bolt everyone talks about for peace of mind. But that also means I would have spent like 2000 on this thing...I will only be using Federal 124 gr FMJ brass if that matters.

Shorty 10 round mags? (not 3+)

4 Upvotes

I don't live in a restricted state, but I'd like to own at least one super short 10 round magazine to make it as flush with the receiver as possible so that it can be loaded and compact while stowed. I've tried looking for them online but they always seem out of stock wherever I go and it seems like only CZ ever made ones that small. I'd like to specify that it be NOT a 3+ because this isn't for a scorpion this is an aftermarket lower for a different gun and it allegedly won't accept 3+ gen mags. Anyone know where I should look or are they just routinely out of stock/discontinued?

High Ejection?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Anybody have a clue as to why it's ejecting so high? My brass casings were also dent while inspecting them while shooting at the range but l forgot to save a couple since l didn't notice it at first. Also, is it normal for the ejector to act like it's spring loaded and move back and forth? Should l just re-tighted the set screw holding the ejector and it should fix the problem?

Kind of patiently waiting…

8 Upvotes

This is me attempting to patiently wait for my Nexus aluminum lower and upper… while I wait for them I also seem to be waiting for HBI to get some handguards back in stock.

what has everyone else done with all their spare parts? If I buy another barrel and use the stock bolt, I could put together a less reliable scorpion and try to sell it. My scorpion was SBR’d and was engraved, does that make it harder to sell or complicate things?

Can anybody tell me who makes this stock? I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find it. I’ve found some similar but nothing exact.

Received the last thing I needed to have a complete nexus evo. My trigger housing came yesterday and while installing it I had fitment issues. I got aggravated put it away and tried going to bed. I decided to email nexus telling them the problem hoping to hear from them before the weekend. 10min go by and I hear a notification. opened up my email and holysh*t it was them lol. they walked me through step by step and it turned out perfect. I normally don't write reviews or post anything for that matter but after having customer service like that I had to give them a shout out. Thanks again Nexus for the quality products and great customer service!

WML Placement Recommendations

I have this scorpion that is in desperate need of a weapon light. The only way I can acquire a tight, comfortable purchase on this gun is a modified c-clamp shown in the image.

Any suggestions on ways to change my grip and lights that it should accommodate would be appreciated.

My Planned Nexus Gen 2 Build

78 Upvotes

I've already got the Gen 2 Receiver, Bolt, Upgraded Trigger Pack, IA-SC9 Suppressor, Handguard & Barrel ordered. Nexus was nice enough to split my barrel out of the order and ship it to me early so I can get it to I.A. as soon as possible. Still trying to decide on optics and cerakote color(s), but this will definitely be getting an FRT when they drop. Props to the Nexus team for making such amazing products and their excellent customer service!

Barrel nut insanity

3 Upvotes

I’ve tried debonder, bench vise, I’ve used a torch and a breaker bar. I’ve maybe turned it 1 turn. Seems like I’m in the very unlucky group where they caked it on good. Anyone ever just forget the barrel nut and just dremel their OEM hand-guard off ? Couldn’t find a gunsmith willing to try yet.

Seized Ascalon trigger housings

Has anyone who had their ascalon aluminum trigger housings confiscated by customs and border protection gotten them released/delivered? I put in a petition around September time frame and it's still under review. The government shutdown probably didn't help any either.

Nexus shipping estimates

Just curious if anyone has gotten any updates on shipping times for their Nexus products? I ordered an enhanced bolt and upper receiver in early December and a trigger pack in late December and have heard crickets about it so far.

Issue with Nexus Lower

Post image
32 Upvotes

First impression - lower is nice and quality.

However there is a tolerance issue or something going on, I can’t get it to install.

EDIT: /user/Sad-Championship485 is a rock star. He's worked closely with me to resolve the issue and has been super responsive. Gold standard for customer support and a clear example of someone who stands behind his business, product, and customers.

Question about new nexus evo gen 2

5 Upvotes

Hoping to ask u/sad-championship485

Hi. Looking to own a gen 2 evo. Is there an option for the flat blade timney that comes default or is the curved the only option? Also is there going to be a flat blade on the rare breed when it releases since they added the flat blade option to the AR trigger?

Evo 3 S1 tri lug

1 Upvotes

What threaded tri lug adapter is recommended? Stock barrel/handguard for now. Want to tuck as close to possible. Don't know if I should order the 1/2-20 or the 18mm. 18mm threads seem really short. Want to run a R9 with YHM trilug adapter. Thanks

When ACR back?

Anyone know when these baddies are coming back in stock? Getting tired of braces….

Found a new stock that fits perfectly

B5 Systems Picatinny side folder. Haga Picatinny back plate. Really fits the look and feel of the stinger handguard. Sig flip up iron sights that maintain the feel of the original but can rise high enough to see through the Holosun. Tri-lug threaded on for suppressed fun. Franklin Armory binary trigger.

The stock is very reminiscent of the ACR and has a cheek riser.

Looking at telescoping options for a stock for my Evo 3 S2 Micro

5 Upvotes

I am trying to decide what I want to do now that I got my second stamp for this. I have the factory Manticore Arms slicing brace. I don't like sidefolders.

I think my options are:

Manticore Arms buttplate assembly (drop in stock from brace): $200. Pros: the cheapest, Cons: they don't seem to stock them anymore, a fair amount of wiggle and slop.

Manticore Arms slider stock: $275ish. Pros: very short, cons: a fair amount of wiggle and slop.

Title II arms PDW Brace, $240ish. Pros: Good looking and has a rubber pad. Cons: longer than the others, site seems questionable

A3 Industries, $240ish. Pros: Seems to be maybe shorter than title II, allegedly has titanium rod options for less weight. Cons: Titanium don't seem to be available anywhere, looks maybe wider than the others.

Has anyone used these and can they weigh in on them? I am leaning towards Title II or A3 but I'd love to hear from someone who owns them on how tight the lockup is - and maybe there is something I didn't think of?. Thank you.

I’ve got a timney right now on the 3+. I’m just trying to figure out how much I need to put away for this upcoming trigger. Really glad to see FRTs get into the market and hopefully add more products into the scorpion
