The last thing you should do is clean your new gun before you test fire it, right? I looked at the Scorpion and figured, well, this is a big piece of machinery, probably gonna be a chore...*sigh*, let's get started.
Then I read the instructions. Bolt back, charging handle locked to rear. Push pin out, pull trigger unit back and up.
OK, so NOW comes the hard part, right?
Reach in, push bolt back with thumb, lift out.
Ok,
NOW comes the hard...I'm done? That's IT?
That's it.
Clean and reassemble. I did need to use the longer rifle rod to run a patch through the bore, now I know why they threw in a Bore Snake! I think this thing is easier to clean than anything else I own!
One small issue - I dropped the bolt on the carpet while cleaning it...and cat hair got on it. Tried to get it all off, but I'll bet the first few rounds smell like burnt cat hair...
