EVO accessories
« on: January 18, 2015, 02:26:12 AM »
Looking at CZ-USA web shop, they list in the Scorpion EVO section spare mags in 10 round, 20 round and 30 round capacity (not available yet, but you can leave your email to be notified).  30 rounders are only $20.

Adjustable non-illuminated sight set ("gunsmith install recommended", booo).

Double mag nylon pouches,  I am sure they fit 20 rounders, not sure about 30 rounders.   Mag pouches are only 5.99 each, picture posted is relatively poor, stiching looks uneven.  I think these are made by a third party in Czech Republic.  I hope they are not low quality cheezy pouches.  I will buy a couple and report.

EVO sling is 9.99, also cheap in comparison to other tactical slings on the market.  One or two point attachment.   It probably attaches at one point to the grenade-like ring on the left side of the receiver.  I might replace that ring with something less odd looking, unless designers are smarter than me and it works really well.  Would like to see other people's solutions.

Adaptor for the Sig Brace, made by a third party.  Wonder how many people will buy that now that ATF forbids shoulder mounting of the brace.  Having the brace attached/Velcroed around the forearm and pistol rigidly attached on the other end seems bizzare, unless you are an invalid or a RoboCop.  But if you buy and use it, please report.  I hope that they are able to import the original stock for SBRs, which looks great.

Someone here bought the Meopta red dot sight.  Would like to hear opinions about this sight, Aimpoint and others.

I like this red dot. It is more heavy duty, "military grade" as compare to Burris Fastfire for example. The QD is nice. Plus, it made in CR.

I need to get another AFG, gave my last one away when it looked like I wasn't going to use it for anything...Very nice setup, sir! So...how does she shoot?

I shot about 70 rounds yesterday (without AFG).
I think AFG will help stabilize it a lot.
The trigger is little heavy for my taste but it 's OK. I will keep her. :-)

The AFG is nice but the PTK is even better.  I have on all of my rifles.  It gives me much more control.

Might have to take off the existing hand stop to fit that puppy on there.

How do you like the Meopta? I have been wanting to get a mini red dot for my Scorpion, but Trijicon is offering a military discount on their RMRs that make it too good to resist. Later this year I may purchase a Meopta for my Tavor if there's more favorable reviews out there.

There was a lot of criticism w/in the Czech armed forces regarding the meopta sights on the Bren.  Basically, less durable and much heavier than aimpoint, eotech, etc, US Military optics. 

With red dots and the 9mm round, I'd go with whatever keeps it lightest, so that's Aimpoint micro on the high end and Bushnell or Primary Arms on the low end (primary arms latest generation stuff is actually mid range and they continue to improve in quality and technology but also have increased a little in price)...

I'd think you'd also be pretty close to a lower one-third cowitness with irons to with the micro red dots.

I like it especially I paid less than $260 for it.
But at full price, I don't know.

I got a mag pouch together with my EVO. They're good for "admin" storage of your mags. They will fit two 20rd mags, they will not fit a 30rd mag. Closure is via velcro & a press stud. Stitching is relative to the cost of them.
I'm definitely NOT going to use them in competition. For that, there's better options, but of course these options require more $$$.
But that's just my 2 eurocents, YMMV.

I tried the EVO with what I think was the Pistol Builders Kit, the buffer tube accessory that gives a cheek rest and battery storage. I would love to get it for an EVO when I get one. It felt good and seemed to give some balance. Now if the buffer tube could be opened for more storage....

I was afraid of that.   If you find a mag pouch that fits 30 rounders and is also a quality pouch, Shooting Systems comes to mind, please let us know.

I want a few of these. I do not work for TT or am I endorsed/sponsored/whatever by them. They are just a company that is 50 miles from my place and I have a bit of their gear, specifically the magna pistol pouches. They are really good pistol pouches when you need retention of mags; with and without the top flap.
