Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine

Do any of you guys have the CAM loader? Does it work for Scorpion Mags? More specifically, does it work on the Manticore Arms steel lip Mags sold at Pepper Gun Shop?

I too would like confirmation from a forum member.

I've not received mine yet but I emailed them asking if they had tested it on Scorpion magazines. Before they responded I had found Scorpions hidden in the middle of their sites list of gtg's. Missed it at first read through. They did confirm compatibility via email in a timely fashion. Hope to have personal testimony soon.

Please let me know how it works on Scorpion Mags. Especially if you have the steel lip Mags. I would like to hear of first hand experiences before ordering. Thanks!

I'll be able to let you know on OEM mags next week.

No 30 rounds to play with as yet.

RECOMMENDED!

Just hiked back to the house from the mailbox, slit open the plastic mail envelope and cut the CAM from its blister pack.

I fumbled a bit figuring out orientation of loader to magazine but the first 10 rounds loaded great.

I scooped up another 10, pressed the magazine against my sternum. The loader pushed round after round into the magazin as it closed on my chest. Each round just clicked into place....perfectly stacked.

I've viewed a couple of videos showing folks failing miserably. It was uber easy for me, and fast. I'm sure it will only get quicker.

I recommend it!

[/quote]Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I'll be purchasing one shortly.

Remember to order the rifle loader. The difference in it and the pistol model is the angle of the magazine to the mag well.  The pistol loader wont work with the scorpions mag well.

FYI guys, Lula has a mag loader for the scorpion.  I've been using one and it is slick!  It clicks onto the mag and off you go, all the way to 30, just like its bigger brother for the AR mag (this is not the same as the regular universal baby Up Lula).

+1 on the Lula loader for evo!

[mountainrider]

I've never had a Lula I didn't like. So why switch?

This CAM purchase was a gamble to gain some speed. It worked. I did. A lot of it!

It's hard to make an error with any Lula and I'm especially impressed with the dedicated Scorpion model toggle. The ETS CAM differs in this regard too... but not in a good way.

You gotta hold your mouth just right with the ETS or you can spill the rounds instead of loading them. I also think familiarity will see this tendency (if you exhibit it) wane. There is a technique needed and you have to have a minimum level of coordination. For me? No difficulty was experienced. In fairness, I had watched videos of people struggling and I learned from their mistakes. My initiation went smooooooth. I also profited from watching vid's demonstrating proper technique. But that brings us to the reason for my fumbling for a few minutes on my first attempt.

I had the idea that the ETS CAM would lock into the magazine and wasted a handful of minutes convincing myself it couldn't be done. Once I accepted this fact and executed my first mag load, I asked myself what was so difficult about that?

Finally took the Scorpion out for her maiden voyage.
It was cold. Single digits, but I couldn't wait any longer.
Shot 60 rounds of 115 gr. FMJ Winchester range ammo
without any issues at all. Seems the iron sights shoot
a little low. My Strikefire II red dot came loose during the second
mag. Didn't get it torqued down well enough. All in all it was
an enjoyable session till my fingers started aching. Anyway,
I installed the HB mini AK safety levers a few weeks ago. They
are sweet! Really like them. I didn't mind the factory trigger at all. In fact
I thought it was pretty good. Some creep at the beginning, not
unlike my Browning BLR, then a nice break. Reset was relatively
short and positive. I think it will even get better with use. I'm
not going to mess with it. Love the weapon so far, just waiting
for some warmer weather.

I know you said your ?not gonna mess with it? but it will be worth your while to pull the trigger pack apart and polish all the mating surfaces nice n smooth.  Trigger will still be a little on the heavy side but it?s a very nice smooth pull and a relatively predictable break.  A good trigger for a ?sub gun?

Keep an eye out for when primary arms does their blemish RDS sale, $70 for a pretty good red dot that is perfect for co witness with factory irons in the low mount

My current situation [emoji16]. Just installed the HB Industries Theta trigger on my new CZC trigger pack. Getting ready to install the trigger pack on Scorpion post haste.

The Strikefire II that I didn't have tight enough will work real well. It's on a cantilever mount
that is see through. It allows me to use the iron sights by looking through mount underneath
the optic. I felt no grit at all in the trigger and was happy with the reset and pull weight.
I will give it a more thorough workout when the weather warms up a bit and then decide
if any trigger mods or work needs done.

That?s awesome, I didn?t know that the new strikefire nouns were see through.  Sounds like you got a good trigger too, mine was pretty gritty and heavy, about 30 minutes to take apart the FCG clean and polish and throw it all back together and it was entirely different.  I will have to give my new spare pack the same treatment I suppose, I was gonna save it with hopes of a binary trigger coming out but looks like that isn?t happening yet
