Scorpions really that dangerous?

So now we all need to remake the gun???

Interesting but sorry no; I don't want to make another SBR.

Is this enough mitigation to NOT spend hundreds with Nexus?  Is it a good practice?

Where are all the examples of exploding Scorpions???

Does anyone know if the select fire military model has the same bolt with the FPB?

If my Scorpion fails due to this condition, I'll throw it aside and grab one of my other battle rifles.

Only if you are gullible enough to believe Nexus fear mongering marketing. 

The Czech military will stick to stock Scorpions.

Robski seems to side with the Czech military - not too scared…

Looks like it might be pure hype.  It’s hard to believe enough steel can deform with the hammer sliding across the top.  Mine also seem to be relieved such that it can’t happen.

So there is one bubba on YouTube shooting it binary and it kabooms and it results in all this?  Wow.

I thought the main feature of the new design was to turn the evo in a delayed blowback, less recoil & less noise for those shooting suppressed. Which I find very appealing.

The sell the enhanced striker block separately for $30 if oob is your main concern [urlhttps://nexusfirearms.com/enhanced-striker-block/][/url]

I think it is hype to generate market - not a bad idea, but I don't find it convincing.

Having softer recoil is a consideration.  But I found that just cycling the action on an MP5 is not trivial.  They mention that it is harder on their Scorpion upper - not a feature I would enjoy.  I can double tap very well as the weapon exists out to 25m on a steel plater barely larger than a chest plate.  Not sure I would 'need' this feature.

You have to weigh this with your ability to clear the weapon if need be.  And again, I don't mind using it as it comes to the military for a handful of countries now.

I'll keep watching my FPB and surrounding area.  I MAY pick up a few FPBs. 

I have more than one Scorpion and all mine have been beveled at the factory.  I MAY decide to clean them p a bit.

I don't see ANY evidence that anyone has had so much steel deformation that it traps the FPB in the UP position that has resulted in an OOBD - unless someone shows me - it doesn't exist.

If you change the bolt to a HARDER material and it dents the hammer bad enough I could see a problem in the OTHER direction. 

CAN ONE change the spring and ball bearing OUT when they wear?

[Asylum9]

That was my first thought. What happens if the 2 bearing wear out, get dirty or obstructed?

I was really tempted, almost hit the buy button. Until I remember my evo is a registered sbr and I'm not paying to restamp it. Would make way to much sense for the atf to have an option to edit or update a s/n incase of damage or upgrade.

I think the price is reasonable or was reasonable before the sale ended.

Interesting…

Will watch to see how these hold up over time, but $350 for the receiver is not prohibitively expensive.
