Tbh, I've never hunted hogs, so I'm not really one to ask. This is in 5.56, so I don't know if that' is enough oomph for hogs. My instincts say no, but I don't know for sure. For the optic I have a Primary Arms Raptor LPVO, illuminated ACS and all that. Personally, I love it. Although I can't for sure recommend this exact rifle for hogs, I can say that the rifle itself seems to be at least decently made. It's not something I'd carry into battle, but I think range shooting, or game hunting would be appropriate. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers.

@@RadaghastBrown thanks for the fast reply! I reached out to the maker of this rifle so hopefully they will respond with an honest answer. I’ll look into this optic you’re using as well. From your description it sounds like a great choice that will not break the bank. Thanks again.

@@RadaghastBrowni have hunted hogs and would highly recommend 300 blackout and 350 legend for the task!!!! Great hunting 😊

Well, if it's new, that may be the issue. Mine is a bit more worn in these days. If I recall, it was a bit stiff when I first got it.

@@RadaghastBrown Thanks man. I’ll give it some wear and get back to you lol

Last night I took er out of the safe just to cycle through the positions, and it's still firm. It's not so firm that I can't engage it with my thumb alone, but it's not like an AR selector which is very forgiving. I suppose the best way I can describe it is as intentionally moderate. In that, you are unlikely to accidentally engage it, but that It takes a willful, intentional, act with moderate pressure to do so. Maybe a bit more than one would like. I don't seem to mind it, though, or I've just gotten used to it, because I've put thousands of rounds though that thing, and it's not something I've ever really actively thought about, or noticed recently, so I'm guessing that, over time, and use, it should improve. Either way it means you get to send a bunch of rounds, which is the best part. Cheers.

@@RadaghastBrown Perfect explanation to get a first time binary guy like me to understand lol. Thanks for that man, you’re the best!

Do you care to elaborate?

Personally, I've never heard of anyone getting sick from cleaning firearms. I suppose it's possible, but I usually scrub up pretty good when I'm finished. When I reload .45 Colt, I use cast lead bullets, and I wear gloves then, but I'm also directly touching lead for several hours, rather than particles for 15 minutes 4 times a year. Thanks for watching!

You can get ar grip mounts for the scorpion

Hey, thanks man. Yeah, I do too. It initially wasn't my intent. I had looked for a 9mm picto select fire housing, but didn't feel like spending 350 bucks for one. This just happened to work out with the double round marking, and... it was a lot less expensive than the 9mm versions. Since the 40/10 housings fit on the 9mm, I felt like it was a sign.

@@RadaghastBrown thats sweet. Does this have the missing space for the bolt release tho? Also, is the group a push pin?

Yeah, I see a lot of guys with the Surefire handguards, and red dot mounts, and the like. I love all that stuff. My Scorpion is all kitted out with modern aesthetics and optics, but I really wanted to keep this one pure. Takes me back to my early teens seeing movies like Predator, and Die Hard when these iconic things first made themselves aware to me.

Because sitting next to your anchor while you are driving is nice to quickly use them.

The collapsible bit is from Safety Harbor Firearms. Go to their website and look for KES for tailhook. The brace is Gearhead works Tailhook MOD 1

@@RadaghastBrownthank you just ordered one!

@@hill8407 In my view, they're fantastic, and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just don't make the mistake I did and assume the tailhook was included. I had to wait for a further 10 days after getting the collapsible base for the tailhook to arrive because I assumed they were sold together.

@@RadaghastBrown yeah I picked a tail hook up as well!

No sir, I talk just the right amount! :)

Hello! Thank you very much. We love this thing. We often camp at places that offer electrical hook ups. I have not attempted to run this on a genny yet, but I would imagine the water heater draws a fair bit. One option I considered was going with a propane water heater. The issue there is you will still need power for the pump, but I would guess it is significantly less than the heater.

As I state in the video, the only issue I have had with this firearm is the handful of stovepipes that occurred due to improper installation of the binary pack. The OOB issue occurs when the striker safety key is worn, or hung up. This is easily avoidable with regular maintenance, inspection, and cleaning. I, personally, have not had any issues with OOB, but then I'm also meticulous with care and inspections. With all of that said, my Scorpion still remains as one of my favorite, if not my favorite, weapons in my collection, and has chewed through nearly 10k rounds without issue. It also makes a fantastic host for a suppressor.

@@RadaghastBrown THANK YOU very much for this detailed reply. I really appreciate it. I am planning to get the Evo 3 Plus Carbine. Thanks again.

Certainly nothing wrong with that. I'm a bit of a S&W revolver guy, but I hope to obtain a Python someday.

No, I did not. I believe I damaged it through negligence. I can say on a 9mm it functioned just fine. On a 10mm with full power rounds, it was fine until I monkied with it. Some of the coating on the bracket that holds it on to the lower rail began to peel back because I believe I installed it improperly. This made it fit a bit loosely. I can probably alter it so it functions properly again, I just have not had time to do it. It's with that said I can say that it's OK. I don't feel I tested it enough to make any conclusive judgment. But I can say it's constructed reasonably well, and, when it is ON the pistol, it functions well enough that I ddidn't have to bend over and pick up brass for an hour after my therapy session. I... should... probably do a follow up on it here. I hope this helps in the meantime.

Yes, it will shoot hollow points no problem. The only issue I ever had with this firearm is the issue I outline in my video. When I installed the binary trigger, I didn't do so properly, and I had approximately 4-5 feeding issues, all occurring during the same range trip. Once I went back, and re-installed the trigger pack correctly, I have not had a single issue, and that's some 4+ thousand rounds ago. It runs like a champ, and eats whatever I feed it. That said, its primary diet is hand-loaded 147g subsonics.

I did rewatch it. Thanks!

The link I posted is still up on the other comment.

@@RadaghastBrown some reason i dont see it

Cheap? lol No, sir. I can link you to the ones that I have on my rig in the video, but they are not cheap. That said, I love them, and would recommend them to anyone planning on putting in a binary on a navy housing. If you plan to stick with the SEF housing that comes with the AP5, then these will not work, and you're on your own. :P So, again, if you get a AMBI/PICTOGRAM style housing (like mine), I suggest these. hkparts.net/all-parts/hkp-ambi-housing-franklin-armory-binary-selector-set/

@@RadaghastBrown damn out of stock

@@RadaghastBrown ok will that selector pack work for the original trigger pack the ap5 comes with? So id have to wait to get the binary pack its alot right now.

@@kevinthorn9672 The selector link I sent is for Franklin Armory BSF trigger packs only. So this will NOT work on the pack that comes with the AP5. I do believe they have many different varieties on HKparts.net and it'd be worth your while to poke around and see what you find.

@@RadaghastBrown i just want a navy lower for mine lol so it looks more like a orginal mp5 lol. So that housing will not work unless i get the binary trigger pack? Damn

Guess what, bud. This is how you get me to 100% avoid your channel. You make an irrelevant comment on one of my videos about a brass catcher, to promote your fledgling channel. Hard pass.

Haha.. yeah. I did. I was pretty excited and if memory serves, it was pretty early in the morning. I now have it set up with dual handles to make it fully ambi.

No, it isn't. In fact, I prefer the Gen5 G20 over the Gen4

@@RadaghastBrown yah well I ain't never seen a gen 4 g20 jam 🤣 all u see on the Internet is gen 5s jamming an not cycling

@@cbg482 Cant relate, sorry. Mine runs perfectly.
