CZ EVO S1 Scorpion *UPDATE*

Yes Fenceline and Tyler Durden are correct ^^^

Think Thompson Contender pistol. You can put a rifle stock on it and buy a longer barrel and it always stays a pistol. But you could buy the same basic gun in rifle designation and you are good to go. Its a rifle.

I was ready to place an order with CZ for an 18.6 inch barrel model but their salesmen tells me they are not interested in pursuing this. In all honesty the Scorpion is proving so successful that they (CZ) are struggling to keep up with world wide orders and the few 18.6 inched models we would require would not make it cost effective for CZ to interrupt their production. We would have to look at having an after market barrel made up and fitted, this would not be cheap. I would be interested in hearing from any gunsmith who could offer this service.

Any info on how the barrel is retained in these?

They are bolted in ^^^^

My major concern is that when we import firearms like this as rifles and NOT as pistols, we forever lose the opportunity to sell them with 10 round magazines.

As was noted earlier in the thread, anyone could apply to import the rifle variant and the 5rnd restriction would then be imposed on all the people using 10rnds.

Alternately, why not do some minor changes to the pistol receiver to make it accept a pistol only magazine?

For example, a single extra protrusion and a matching path machined into the receiver. Pistol magazine would then not fit in rifles.
Or a change in the magazine catch?
Surely there's other ways as well.

Actually, as posted by Mr Wolverine this is a CV - converted variant of an SMG. It will always be limited to 5 rds. As well, the pistol and rifle variant both have FRT's. Whether anyone actually imports them or not is irrelevant, they exist and have been classified.The factory mags will be pinned to 5. Finally, as detailed elsewhere, CZ is having trouble producing enough Evo's to fill demand. I don't think we're going to see them do a bunch of prototyping etc for the few thousand that will be sold in Canada.

It's a competitively priced PCC and a cool product but it is what it is.

John you mentioned at the top of this thread the Bren is that still a possibility??
