You're welcome to test drive it if you were thinking of getting one. I'm going to get another safety for it asap,that's my only complaint so far.

 

Thanks for the offer, but I'm a bit ahead of you. lol Got a few mags run thru mine. I Suggest you look at the HBindustries site. They have some replacement parts for the Scorpion. I got the Theta trigger and extended charging handle for mine. As well as the spring kit and the AK style safety. All four parts were a bit under 175 if my memory serves me this morning. Oh...be warned that the parts sell out quickly on the site. I was about 5 weeks getting them all in. But when all installed, it was well worth the wait.

It's a tossup as to whether the new charging handle, which really makes a difference; or the AK style safety lever was the better choice of the two. Both are a major benefit for the Scorpion.

 The slightly longer and better grip with the extended CH makes a major difference. The safety change is fantastic. No more awkward finger positions and rubbing almost raw when firing.

 And you can get the trigger and charging handle in red or black. Red if you want to be stylish and get more attention. Or black if you wish to remain incognito with your weapon.

Short version. I love the changes and it's worth it.

I like the gun but I'm really envious of the cleanliness of the bench... I'm so pressed for time it always looks like a pig sty...

I will be honest, not my bench, bet a dollar mine looks like yours.

Pic is the sale ad of another forum where I bought it.

Was a good week. Went to a factory Ruger sale at my local gun shop and picked up a SP101 stainless revolver in .22 and 2 bricks of Blazer .22 ammo. Then went to a gun show today and could not pass up the new Ruger Mark IV, the Target model in stainless, couldn't justify the price of the Hunter model. Since they gave me a coupon for a discount on the overpriced .22 ammo with the purchase of the Mark IV, I picked up a brick of MiniMag CCI at not to outrageous a price.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the AK safety, left safety delete,spring set up and black trigger. The charging handle was out of stock for now maybe next time. I'm not sure what they were thinking on the safety. Do you have a sling or did you put a brace on it? I found a place to pick up some decent VZ 58 mags 23 bucks apiece. Just in case.zahal :biglol:

Yes, the charging handle goes really fast. I hope you signed up for the notification when it's restocked. I did. But I couldn't wait for it. lol I was checking the site every time I got near my PC.

I bought a brace kit for mine initially, but soon decided I wanted the folding stock kit so I could go the SBR route. (If you would like the arm brace kit, let me know. I'll put you in it below current costs.) So I have everything ready for it to be complete. Just have to do the form 1 and send the blackmail payment in so I can assemble it. I've not been a sling sort of guy, but as I'm thinking of this as a poor man's pdw, as well as home defense and range use, I'll probably do a single point sling on it at some point.

What do you think about a laser?
