CZ Scorpion EVO 3 Carbine

[straight-shooter]

Last week I picked up a CZ Scorpion EVO 3 Carbine. The only other carbine I have is a Marlin 38/357 lever. I've wanted a 9mm carbine for a long time but something else was always on the table.

The same day I bought this I ordered some upgrades. First was the Holosun 515C red dot. 50,000 hour run time when using the solar option and 20,000 on battery. It came with a kill flash, flip caps, two options for height mounting and quick disconnect. Initial impression, the dot and circle are very crisp.

Next I hit up the HB Industries website and ordered the Theta forward trigger, spring kit, hardware kit and right side safety delete. First thing I notice is my finger has plenty of purchase on the trigger and being set forward it's in a much better position. The stock trigger felt set back to far to be comfortable. More importantly the trigger is set to a much lighter pull and very smooth.

Other plan is I'm looking in to a set of QD mounts and sling but will further research that later today. I know I want a combo 2 point 1 point.

I have yet to take it out to the range and the plan was initially to do just that today. Problem is I worked so hard this last week that I'm completely worn out so It may have to wait. Well there it is, I'm the proud owner of what I consider a very nice rifle.

Good looking rifle. Is the barrel that thick all the way back to the receiver or is that a pinned fake suppressor?

I have been been eyeing an Evo 3 for a while but with an MPX and a Sub2k already in the stable, I just cannot justify it.

It's a removable faux suppressor. There is the option to unscrew that and install a flash hider. I don't believe it's pinned and have read that it's just installed using blue loctite.

It has to be attached in some permanent way, otherwise you have an SBR.

And that is sweet, btw. Congrats on the sweet carbine!

This. I figured it was a faux suppressor pinned to make a 16" barrel length. Just wondering how easy it would be to remove the faux and replace with a real once you got an SBR stamp.

I have a TNW Aero in 9mm, gen 2 sub2k in 9mm and a Evo pistol and none of them get any love because I haven't had time to shoot. Hopefully yours gets more love than mine

You should be able to unscrew that fake can. It's just a shroud

Check out Yeti works for your QD points for the scorpion

I found a link that shows that it is indeed just a barrel shroud that is just screwed onto the barrel. It's simply attached using loctite.

Thank You for the lead on those. I found them and bookmarked the site.

Gearhead works, shooters element also have some parts. I have been researching and hunting for parts for a while now. I have acquired a carbine and 2 pistols already

HB Industries also has some good CZ Scorpion options, and some new freefloat handguards are in the works. (https://hbindustries.net/store/)

Those handguards look very interesting. First I'll see how this rifle reacts on the front during recoil and if a little weight needs to be added up front then that may be the way to go. Although 9mm shouldn't pose a problem at all I suspect but every advantage shows on target.

 

[Simon6101]

Every one I have shot so far has been dead on right out of the box. Not much recoil at all. easy to go through a couple hundred rounds fast.

Gosh this makes me want to SBR a Scorpion again! Looks good OP, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

The barrel under the faux suppressor is 16" long so no need to pin. It is made so you can remove it and add the muzzle comp if you wish.

Very nice. A CZ has been on my radar for some time. What did you give for it, if I may ask.

Thanks.

I have the pistol of this waiting on the SBR, but it shoots just as good and I prefer the shorter gun because it was originally designed to be a handgun little subgun on par with an MP5. I do like this carbine better than the MPX's carbine model. That one's handguard felt too bulky

Thanks.

It was $969 before tax.... Not too awfully bad since I was supporting the LGS.

I took the Evo out today for it's initial run. All I can say is this rifle is a hoot! I fired 100 rds of Winchester Nato 9mm at 50 yards and I feel it did very well with zero malfunctions. I sighted the iron's and the Holosun red dot. I can see this will see a few trips soon to the range for some more fun.
