The result of a multi-year development collaboration between Manticore Arms and CZ-USA, the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 bullpup kit transforms a standard CZ Scorpion rifle into a bullpup configuration with an overall length of 26.25" (about the overall length of a 16"-barreled Scorpion carbine with the stock folded).
The bullpup kit uses a combination of new components unique to the bullpup, along with utilizing many of the Scorpion's original parts that must be transferred onto the bullpup chassis. In this video we take you through the assembly process step-by-step and finish up with trying out the Scorpion, in bullpup form, on the range.
CZ's part number for the bullpup kit is 40600. MSRP for the kit is $399.99, Scorpion carbine not included.
