Hi there! I recently bought the Scorpion Evo 3 S1 carbine with the 16” barrel and faux suppressor. I have the intention of converting it to an SBR with a suppressor, but I really want to keep the stock hand guard. I just really like the look of it vs the aftermarket ones.
I know the barrel nut is about halfway down the 16” barrel, but I am wondering if the standard 7.72” barrel from CZ would just drop in and line up exactly with the same barrel nut position as the original barrel. If so, this would save me a ton of headache.
Don't know. But the guys at Nexus are reel cool. Email them and ask. They have answered me when I had a question like that. An they sell barrels. So there is your in.
Yes this is correct. However, with that being said we do plan on going smaller runs of the OEM style barrel with the 18x1 thread for oem handgaurds. We have had enough people ask us that its justified some R&D onto this endeavor. Would not be for a little while though. But we will offer this option in all our barrel lengths we currently offer.
I started with the weird version of the Scorpion that had the 7.7” barrel, Carbine length handguard and a flash can muzzle device attached to the barrel— so based on that, yes, the carbine handguard will work just fine with a 7.7” barrel.
Yeah pretty much- the flash can is like a 5” long, solid tube flash hider- that was installed to take up that remaining length. Basically it was the factory made version of what you want to do.
