Anyone SBR the new Scorpion EVO Carbine?

[e1911]

I'm curious to know if anyone has SBR'd their carbine yet?  Also, I would be interested to hear thoughts on pros and cons of SBRing the carbine vs adding a stock to the pistol version.  Thanks in advance.

Much easier to slide a stock on the pistol than it is to replace a barrel on the carbine.

I wasn't thinking of replacing the barrel on the carbine but rather just having it chopped and threaded by ADCO.  I'm actually having trouble finding the 922r stock/kit for the pistol version.  I suppose the only added benefit with SBRing the carbine is that the suppressor would sit under the handguard but that would mean I would always have to run it with a suppressor.

I read somewhere that someone is working on a barrel nut wrench for the carbine, so a barrel swap/chop+rethread shouldn't be too difficult.
I have the carbine, as I didn't want to hassle with 922r or pay an extra 200+ for the stock. The handguard is a nice bonus too, and if you put a flash can on the shortened barrel, you could probably still shoot unsuppressed if you ever wanted to.

I was thinking of doing the same, shorten & thread the barrel.  EKW Arms sells a carbine socket for $75.  And you can get flash cans up to 5" in length.

$225 for the stock kit

SBR the pistol and buy an HBI or CZ carbine handguard.

I'm currently waiting for my pistol stamp to come in. Already been 5 months for the stamp and 6 months for the suppressor.

I'm a gluten for punishment apparently  because I just sent off for an Omega and another tax stamp for an SBR AR.

I was checking the carbine at a gun store and notice the barrel appears to be 2 piece. I noticed looking into the handguard at the middle, the barrel has threads showing and appears to be threaded in some type of a coupler.  Anyone else seen this.

[st381183]

It's not a two piece barrel, it's a threaded section of the barrel for the handguard retaining nut.

Thanks for clarifying st381183.  The clerk at the store did not know much about it.
