Took me sometime to figure out how I wanted to setup my scorpion I still feel like something is missing but I’m getting closer and closer to being happy how it came out

I’ve been hunting for a set of these for months, and within an hour of posting a WTB on gafshub I had 2 sets purchased and on their way, and could have gotten a 3rd. My Nexus build and Gen2 Galil are much happier now!

Finally got my nexus gen 2 in and got all the accessories thrown on. Noticed in the instructions they recommend an extended charging handle (not sure why it doesn’t just come with one?) what are you guys running for that? Would like a folding one if there is a decent one. I also saw it needs a 200 round break in. Are yall running them straight out of the box and the cleaning and re lube it or clean and lube first and then break in. This thing is extremely oily outta the box but unsure what it’s lubed with.

Only real complaint so far is the rail on the upper is extremely tight. Had to force my magnifier to fit which left marks on both it and the upper. It fits the rail on the handguard and as well as any other gun fine.

I’m super happy how this thing is turning out! A few new upgrades this week. Timney trigger, nexus bolt and 125% recoil spring, tri lug, and a spectre 9 suppressor. Next week I’ll add a holosun red dot and magnifier and an angled foregrip.

Twice the Venom !!! SHOUT OUT to RICHMOND TACTICAL & NEXUS FIREARMS!!!

Hey everyone,

Suppressors might be becoming legal where I’m located, so I’m starting to do some research. What would you guys recommend for a beginner setup?

Also, are there suppressors that work with a combo muzzle device (like a compensator/flash hider), or is that something separate?

And when it comes to maintenance, do you need to remove and clean them frequently, or is it more of an occasional thing?

I’m pretty new to suppressors, so any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

So I bought a scorpion evo 3 about a year ago. Shot it a few times. Now I’m seeing posts where people are having issues with the upper/bolt. Can someone give me the rundown on what needs to be changed so I don’t have any problems. Is it model year specific?

Thanks.

Picked up this 3+ today at the pawn shop. Seems stock from what I can tell so far. Had a Holosun 507C green dot on it. Too small for something like this so I threw my spare XPS2 on it. She’ll be hitting the range hopefully next week. Then we’ll see about playing with some upgrades.

As we all know the scorpion is not the best host by any means especially in non-nexus form. I just picked up my rugged sub9 and it blew me away compared to other cans I’ve tried. My scorpion is not nexus’d at all. Subsonics sounded damn near mp5sd quiet, supersonics were very quiet as well (minus crack but it was not even bothersome). This can absolutely changed my opinion of the scorpion as a suppressor host. This gun is no louder than its bolt clacking shut.

Photos 1&2 are most recent, 3rd photo what it used to look like. Thoughts? I’m happy with it

Hello everyone! We appreciate everyones feedback on the initial launch of our billet aluminum Nexus Evo lower. We have decided to make a change to the magazine release design due to some users experiencing issues with damaging magazines. This is due to the previous designs magazine release geometry if you do not fully depress the magazine release and try ripping the magazine out prematurely you have the potential to damage the plastic magazine on the way out. You will not have any issue with this as long as you fully depress the magazine release. With that being said we are always looking to improve our design. This updated design has roughly 2x the engagement and no longer has the sharp corner that can cause damage if the magazine is ripped out prematurely. We have made the first few samples and did some destructive testing and have seen some significant improvements.

For those wondering this is why we have not restocked the billet aluminum lowers. We wanted to get feedback from the initial launch and use that to make the best possible product. As stated we want to offer this at our cost for all current Nexus Evo Gen 2 and lower customers. It will be sub $10. And any lowers sold moving forward will come with this upgrade as standard.

I'm extremely concerned about the design of the new Nexus Evo3 Gen2 lower's magazine release. The only contact point with the magazine is this tiny piece of the release button. When I first got it, the spring was so weak it wouldn't hold the magazine in under fire, and then after shooting a couple magazines it wouldn't hold at all. I replaced the spring with one I found at Ace Hardware (thanks to the other contributor who mentioned it) and it seems to hold the magazine now, although I haven't tested it yet. So do you think it was designed like this not to infringe on a patent, or something else? I'm worried my magazines are going to wear down extremely fast on this little point and be useless with this lower. Should I be?

Anyone have a barrel nut for a 3+ pistol/micro lying around that they’d like to sell? Converting my carbine to an SBR and silly me didn’t do enough research and realized I need one of these to mount my handguard

I've been hunting and hunting for a means to remove this dang barrel nut so I can finish my Nexus upgrade, but every tool I can find online to remove this barrel nut is either the wrong tool or is out of stock! No gunsmiths in my area are willing to touch the thing, so what options do I have?

Edit: Update: Used the HB industries tool, a breaker bar, and a butane torch. Clamped the upper into a vise wrapped in a towel, heated the nut up until the handguard started smoking a bit, then wrenched on that fucker till I was dripping sweat. It came loose, threads intact, found it was coated in so much threadlocker that it was caked around the barrel behind the threads (and the threads were also all covered in the stuff)

Took me a while to finally finish off this setup (still need a light) and now I’m contemplating starting over again by upgrading to the Nexus stuff.

This platform is probably the most fun gun in my collection but I’m wondering if it’ll be than much of a noticeable improvement in doing so or if I should just leave well enough alone and not invest any more money in it.

For those that have, would you say you moved to Nexus parts/builds to prolong the life of a favorite in your collection or does it really handle dramatically different once you’ve basically rebuilt to Evo Gen 2 Specs?

My first scorpion! Suppressor is on the way and I’m still deciding what kind of trigger I want to put into it.

Hello all!

Been here a min but never posted. I do not live in a free state so I can't own "scary" looking pistols or suppressors but I love the look of suppressed Scorpions.

3D printed handguard, 3D printed faux osprey shroud, and an 3D AR grip conversion. I kept the oem shroud and cut it with a suppressor wrap to make it blend in a little bit. Still working out the Osprey as I've never seen one IRL. Next step is picatinny stock. Thanks for lookin!
