I still have not fired my brand spanking new Scorpion EVO.
However, I am all wrapped up in installing a few interesting after market goodies!!
I replaced the "small" factory charging handle with a much larger HBI one. I put the factory one in my parts drawer. I installed a second large HBI handle on the opposite side.
While doing this I had to firmly tap the hand guard pin (the one with the "fin" pointing back to the receiver) to get it out and then back in. I noticed that the pin looked sort of fragile.
The YouTube instructions show the pin out and in with just fingers. Should I be concerned that I may have damaged it?
It is still tough to cock with either of the new charging handles. I hope it is just a matter of break in shooting.
I also installed a HBI duck bill magazine release. The pins were
really tight to punch out. I had to use a carpenter's hammer to get my new aluminum release back in. Is it common for the pins to be so darn tight.
Again, the YouTube instructions showed much easier in and out!
The spring was a real pain in the rear to position for the reinstall. I lost the new spring TWICE in the carpet, but my wife saved the day and found it both times for me.
Please excuse my piddling questions, but this is all new to me. I may be overly cautious.
