I want to buy **BOUGHT** a CZ Scorpion Evo 3

[indykid]

Was going to say this in purple, but then realized that I am not being sarcastic, just sick: Still trying to find "compliance parts" as required by the people's right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Too bad CZ's lawyers aren't standing up to ATF but bowing down before them.

Since ATF has previously said that nfa items are not subject to 922 rules, I am tempted to forgo the CZ stock and add another type of stock instead, solely to avoid having to buy other parts in order to add their stock.

I've seen a letter since that stated otherwise, not that it really counts for much...

It's ridiculous that where a part was made makes any damn difference whatsoever.

It's ridiculous that where a part was made makes any damn difference whatsoever.

What's even more ridiculous is that it is effectively unenforceable. Other than the actual receiver, most firearms parts are not stamped with manufacturing location (and I would bet that the few that have stamps are most likely marked as such so they can be sold as "compliance" parts for a mark-up).

What are the ATF's prosecution numbers for 922r non-compliance against individuals? I'm betting they are virtually non-existent, unless they just stack it on top of a bunch of other charges, trying to bury someone in paperwork so they'll plea out.

922r was meant as a means to stop importation of "assault weapons" as components to get around the other completely arbitrary (and arguably unconstitutional, at least in spirit) import bans. It was never really conceived of as being applied to individuals and honestly, the ATF hasn't really tried to change that. They just will issue a letter here and there, to keep the paper tiger alive.

And the ATF just told CZ last week that 922r does apply.

What's to keep somebody from removing the half a dozen parts and engraving them "made in USA"?

 

[engineerpower]

Not a damn thing. Forensics could make a pretty good case if it went to court, and you'd better believe that ATF would spend the lab and lawyer bucks on making the first case stick.

I think since it applies to the maker, simply possessing a non-922r compliant weapon would be a danger for confiscation rather than prosecution unless the building can be pinned on you somehow.

The real hawks are forum trolls; I can't think of too many scenarios that LEO/GOV would be taking down your AK to check the piston. Unless you had already done something criminal, or ran your fool mouth, I can't see probable cause coming up. Doesn't stop "the man" from making arrests/seizures that they know won't stick. How many guys haven't been able to get seized guns back even with a court order, or that they were "destroyed" (aka taken home).

I scored 4 of the 30 round mags just a little while ago. CZ had 1000 of them come into stock on their website at 1300hrs and they sold out in 20 minutes.

nice! every time I've tried to find the mags on their website so I can get a notification when they are in stock, I can never find them.

Hope you got a Hoosier lotto ticket too today. Did you get an email or facebook notice from CZ?

I have not received any email's for anything since I registered with CZ.

 

[VUPDblue]

I got email from CZ notifying me that the mags were in stock yesterday. They posted on FB yesterday also that the mags would be released for sale today at 1300.

Dear Customer,

We are writing you about your CZ-USA webstore order for 30 Round EVO magazine(s).

Rest assured, your order will be filled when we receive our next weekly shipment from the Czech Republic. You do not need to do anything to keep your order in our system. We expect that we will be able to ship your order on 5-15-15. Once we ship, you will be emailed a FedEx tracking number when FedEx picks up your package (after 4pm central time).

Again, we apologize for any aggravation our mistake has caused you and hope that the fun you have with your 30 round magazines makes up for the delay in receiving them.

[Beowulf]

Well, at least it isn't delayed by too much. They could have said 5/15/16 instead.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Gregcotellc.com has 30 rnd. Mags.

Has the 922r kits been released?

 

[VUPDblue]

922 is supposed to release at the end of August.

Thanks, got 3. For anybody with a SilencerCo Octane 9, they now have a fixed barrel adapter to directly thread the Octane to the weird Scorpion threads. Cost is $61 from Lanbo's.

Is there enough barrel exposed to just cut it and have it rethreaded in 1/2x28? Though I guess maybe you could get a 1/2x28 adapter made and just fixed into place.

I looked into this not only for a more common thread pitch but also because a cut/thread changes the barrel from a foreign part to an American part so one less 922r to worry about. When talking with ZR Tactical, he didn't feel there was enough barrel exposed for a suppressor to clear the handguard.
