OK, I'm going to admit it. The stock sights really work with the gun. Especially with a red dot that 100% cowitnesses. The height over bore is great as is.
I installed a set of AR flip sights on the gun and really disliked it. Cheekweld wasn't comfortable and my times running the gongs slowed down a lot too.
But, there are hardly no options available for alternatives to the front sights for the scorpion.
So, I'm tweaking it a little so the front sight will accept AR15 front posts.
This will allow fiber optic front sights, tritium front sights, as well as most any other AR15 sight.
The through hole on the factory evo front sights is just a fraction of a mm smaller than AR front posts. So, by using a #29 drill bit through the hole and then an 8-36 tpi tap, is all it needs to accept AR front posts.
The AR post bolt will be a little too long and will need some of the length taken off the bottom, but not much. This can be done with a hacksaw, dremel, grinder or whatever you have at your disposal. Only reason it'll need trimmed at all is because the scorpion doesn't have as much depth below the front sight as the AR front post.
To start with, I am going to swap my post out for one of the KNS "crosshair" front sights because I think the "circle in circle" diopter style sight will work well on the 9mm, especially with the round rear peep.
Like this:
And if I'm disappointed with it, or if the crosshair style slows me down too much by being "too crowded", I'll put a meprolight tritium front sight on it.
But nevertheless, by slightly enlarging the hole and rethreading it, will give me a lot more options for the future.
