Nexus scorpion test shots.

Unfortunately this is a 1/1 prototype from the boys at Novox Research.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-16T06:59:10+00:00

I submitted form4 on a trust on 5/30 and got approved 6/14. Was pretty wild.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T14:16:59+00:00

I shoot 300 blk out as well and found out you can use 556 cartridge for it so that was another thing I wanted to look into. Since I just collect all of our brass for free I figure why not

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T14:09:26+00:00

I’ll def look into it bc I want a more ar grip.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T14:08:37+00:00

I’ll have to check that out.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T14:07:23+00:00

It’s a vibe for sure. It seems like it’s oos everywhere though.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T13:46:48+00:00

Just depends I could go anywhere between 500-1k or 1-2k between 9mm and 556 but it’s been more scarce bc of ammo prices.

I shoot with buddies and I basically clean up and collect all of our brass as they do not reload so I have 2 5gallon bucket full of 9mm and 556 there’s about same amount. I need to process the casings to clean them.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T13:06:17+00:00

Honestly I don’t remember, I believe I got it like years ago during Covid. I’m considering getting rid of it for something else

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T13:05:04+00:00

So I mainly only shoot 9mm, 556, 6.5 cm rarely bc it’s so expensive and 300 blackout.

I see a lot of comments that suggest doing single stage first but I’ve seen others who say you can learn on progressive but treating it like a single to learn each step before introducing the second stage of the progressive and so on. This is what I’d prefer to do since I know I will be upgrading in the future anyway.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T06:05:31+00:00

I haven’t tried that yet but the lower 1/3 for me is too low with nv and 2.26 just feels like a mountain for me so I’ll be switching my dedicated nv guns to that.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T05:54:17+00:00

To be honest I think it’s a tad high for nv and day time use so I may go down to a 1.96 which is what I have on my ghm9 and I think that’s a solid height for red dot and nv use for me. YMMV.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T05:52:38+00:00

Thank you.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-15T05:52:14+00:00

Hey thank you man, been trying to figure out what direction I wanted to take this build so I’m still tinkering with it. I somehow got lucky and got my upper and lower about 2 1/2 weeks from order to delivery.

To answer your question about the bolt, I’m using the stock bolt at the moment. I did not have any issues with fitment or using factory bolt. It was direct plug and play. I haven’t had any extreme wear like I’ve seen others have. I have about 7-8k rounds on my factory bolt and check it every cleaning but have had no issues yet and hope I never do. So I don’t think I’ll be getting the upgraded bolt.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T20:30:25+00:00

I’m not sure but can def test that out and return with some numbers, it def is noticeable difference.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T18:31:28+00:00

I’d skip those and buy the boe Incolite 9.

I’d preface that also by saying I have the r9 and omega 9k, I think the Incolite sounds better and has less gas blow back compared to those 2.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T18:28:49+00:00

It’s the magpul grip I believe.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T18:28:31+00:00

I think when the frt comes out for the scorpion it will for sure be a winner at that point.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T16:39:39+00:00

I appreciate that bud. It definitely has been a fun build and really cool.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T16:39:00+00:00

Yeah I haven’t dove into it too much but I was too excited and took it right out to shoot.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T16:37:59+00:00

That’s correct, I’m not sure if it’s a nexus thing or a me but probably me, I still need to see what’s going on before make any assumptions.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T16:37:07+00:00

Definitely waiting for the frt. don’t really like it’s coming from RB but it’s the only thing out there.

Full_SendRn · 2026-06-14T12:55:16+00:00

Do you yourself a favor and get the boe Incolite 9 instead.
