    The spring and forward set trigger basically cut the trigger pull weight in half. Night an day difference.

    +1. First thing to install when you get the gun home.

    It’s a muzzle device with an integral 1/2x28 thread protector. After reading this thread I wondered why nobody had made basically this exact thing to address the problem, and lo and behold it turns out someone has.
    $60 and out of stock of course, but it exists.

    Personally I’m wondering if you wanted to just keep using the factory muzzle device, if there is any particular reason you couldn’t just remove the troublesome 1/2x28 thread protector entirely and just use like a short strip of heat tape around the 1/2x28 threads. The factory 18x1 flash hider would still protect them from damage and the tape would serve to keep fouling or whatever out of them.
    Just a thought.

    EDIT: I don’t think I meant “heat tape”. I think I meant that aluminum tape used on heating ductwork.

    The thread protector coming loose issue isn't really solvable if you also run suppressed, as loc-tite makes it impractical to repeatedly take the protector on and off. You should never use the thread protector imo:

    Unsuppressed - just use the flash hider. It doesn't come loose, and it acts as the thread protector by itself

    Suppressed - non-issue. Very nice if you didn't loc-tite on a thread protector beforehand.

    My Scorpions are all ~2 MOA at 25 yds with 124gr Speer Lawman and 147gr Gold Dots.

    Per CZ tech support, the thread protector will always come loose (WITHOUT loc-tite), the more rounds you shoot. Numerous reports of it fully detaching, rattling around inside the flash hider, and the next bullet hitting it and shooting it and the flash hider off the gun.

    Funny story about this loose thread protector business....because of the frequently reported issues with it coming loose I opted to just preemptively buy an HB Industries 1/2x28 Micro-Comp and use that instead of the factory muzzle device. When I went to install it....my thread protector was so tight I had to use a strap wrench to get it off. I had previously removed it by hand once, then threaded it back on by hand, and fired maybe 50 rounds through the gun. So unless I somehow cross-threaded the thread protector, which I don’t think I did, I guess that small amount of shooting was enough to carbon-lock the protector in place?
    Then, after putting the Micro-comp on, with its high temp O-ring that is supposed to keep it from backing off the threads, I find that it backs off anyway. So I’m going to have to try something else there I guess.

    My Scorp is pretty accurate though, just dicking around with it with iron sights at 100 yards I’m surprised by how well it shoots.

    That doesn't sound like anything that should be acceptable. Every firearm I own with a thread protector / flash hider doesn't have this problem.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.
