Mine is in fact not working. What is the fix?
@theuncouthtruth95513 күн бұрын
It’s a long answer so bear with me. Because It’s two fold. A) As I discussed , there is an issue with the striker block not functioning or losing function due to damage incurred from hammer reset and as a result it is possible to have an OOBD detonation prior to the round completely seating into battery. As such, if the striker block isn’t functioning, the hammer can strike the firing pin and there is nothing preventing the pin from hitting the primer and causing ignition before it has completely seated in the chamber. . B) the is also an issue is not so much with the scorpion but direct blow back action itself when firing extremely high pressure (IE: “hot”) ammunition. Unfortunately, as the scorpion is made of polymer, it is MUCH more susceptible to damage vs a steel or aluminum receiver with blow back action. It’s also exacerbated by bolt bounce when the bolt rebounds off the breach face like a basketball hitting the ground. Providing more opportunity for a hot round to back out of the chamber before it has finished detonating… Most blowback platforms like the stribog, AR9 variants, etc , it is unlikely the shooter even knows when it happens unless they examine all the spent casing because of the aluminum receiver, the likelihood of damage is extremely low…not saying it can’t happen, even Glocks have been blown up on occasion. But generally speaking, the problem of hot ammunition in an aluminum receiver is moot. And it’s extremely rare to see it. The scorpion, however, has a polymer clam shell receiver. And being direct blowback with no delay to let higher pressure ammo complete ignition before cycling, it is much more vulnerable to case rupture and getting blown apart. No. As of yet, CZ has not addressed this or remedied it. They’re basically fixing them case by case as they blow up. The only remedy is an aftermarket company called Nexus that has full billet aluminum receiver replacements and tool steel bolts. The receiver works with the OEM bolt and has a delay. Thats most important.

I won't lie. I regret my Scorpion purchase. I stopped shooting it in 2021 when I learned about OOB's. I purchased the Nexus completebolt assembly earlier this year, and still never shot it, after I learned there were still OOB's. Admittedly, I nowonly have it for the sad yet fun process of a seemingly never-ending build project, much to my wife's anguish. 😂 Will I be getting this new receiver? Absolutely. I just can't resist. I am already too deeply invested in mags, and aftermarket parts to stop now. Plus I rattlecanned it, and all my mags. So selling it would be too hard.

@theuncouthtruth95512 ай бұрын
Polished ramps always helps. But even if you remedy the issue of OOBD, there is still the problem of hot ammunition. Meaning even if it seats and performs as function, by nature of a blowback design, it is still vulnerable because its polymer. Nexus will soon be releasing a full billet receiver with Bering delay that will entirely remedy any issue. No matter how hot the ammo is and works with the oem bolt. I’d strongly consider this. It’s the ultimate remedy for the platform. Because even if an OOBD or super hot round sneaks in, it’s a non issue.

I can't believe I've owned my Scorpion for this long without knowing to check this. I have heard of OOBDs with the Scorp but I was always just careful when I fired mine to ensure proper lockup when pulling the trigger. I specifically did not purchase and install a binary trigger in my Scorp because of this, actually. Thank you for this video, this was really super helpful. It seems I'm lucky and got a bolt where the firing pin block plunger is to proper spec, it sits just higher than flush with the bolt. When pressing on the rear, the firing pin does move some, but not enough to protrude from the bolt face, not even enough to be flush with it either. When the firing pin block is actuated, I can observe the firing pin properly able to protrude past the bolt face. This gives me some much needed peace of mind, thank you for this.
