### CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine — 9mm
This is the full-size CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 **carbine**, chambered in 9mm, with a 16-inch barrel and factory folding stock. A proper rifle, not a pistol with an arm brace.
I originally built this Scorpion for USPSA Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) competition. A professional CZ gunsmith installed an aftermarket trigger, charging handle, safety lever, and magazine release to improve ergonomics and make the controls faster and easier to operate under competition conditions. As often happens with ambitious shooting projects, I got the rifle exactly where I wanted it and then never actually entered a USPSA match with it.
It has, however, competed successfully at Desert Sportsman's Rifle & Pistol Club (DSRPC), **winning a PCC match**. The Scorpion has an excellent reputation for reliability and accuracy, and this particular example has demonstrated both.
**Included with the rifle:**
- Two factory CZ 20-round magazines
- One factory CZ 30-round magazine
- One factory CZ 30-round magazine with a Taylor Freelance +10 extension (40-round capacity)
- One Magpul 35-round magazine
- Factory iron sights
- All original parts replaced during the competition upgrades
- Original factory box
The only missing item is the muzzle thread protector. I always used the rifle with a silencer attached, so the protector was removed and subsequently misplaced.
This is a well-equipped, professionally upgraded Scorpion carbine, configured for competitive shooting but equally at home as a recreational range rifle. It has been maintained as part of my personal collection and retains its original components for anyone who prefers the factory configuration.
**Built for USPSA competition, but already a proven match winner at DSRPC.**
At $1000 OBO, you are getting the upgrades and magazines for free.
Despite the tactical furniture, intimidating appearance, and enough black plastic to depress a goth teenager, her family tree leads straight back to the civilian Browning BAR sporting rifle. FN took that proven gas-operated hunting rifle design, dressed it for a tactical convention, gave it detachable box magazines, and introduced the FNAR in 2008.
The result was a rather interesting rifle with an excellent reputation for accuracy. FN advertised a factory accuracy standard of one MOA or better with suitable ammunition. The best I did with my match loads was a depressing 1.5 MOA.
She wears the ever-fashionable tactical black. Not midnight black, charcoal black, or some exotic shade. Just black. FN spent the entire color-development budget on engineering.
She's currently equipped with an Athlon Helos BTR 8–34×56 scope, which provides enough magnification and resolution to examine the target's personal shortcomings from a considerable distance, and the first-focal plane reticle to hold the proper wind call based on the direction their nose hairs are blowing. The Helos is Athlon's premium scope with much nicer adjustments. There's also an additional 20-round magazine.
The FNAR is an interesting combination of Browning sporting-rifle heritage, Belgian FN engineering, and modern tactical styling. It's also a reminder that an accurate, interesting .308 battle rifle doesn't necessarily need SCAR money.

Without:$1100$1200 OBO
