A few caveats why I went this direction. The looks of the SB Tactical brace kept me from buying one. The lines of the folding 922f stock from CZ was much more attractive and I was resolving myself to spending $200 to SBR the thing. It has an inch or so of adjustability and look so much nicer. I also wanted more LOP that SB tactical offered. Adjustability is great, but it offers 10.25" LOP I believe. A folder was non-negotiable.
I recently found the Yetiworks Tailhook set up. I did not see until immediately after placing my order their folding mechanism supplied in their kit was not CZ but aftermarket. This worried me. A lot.
Yetiworks sells the plastic adapter to attach a tailhook to the CZ folder separate for about $20. Last I looked they are out of stock, but other websites sell it as well for a buck less if you look around.
Down to business. This thing rocks. Working our way back, the hinge is rock solid. No wiggle and the button is a bit stiff for my liking. I'll chalk it up to being new and expect it to break in. Polishing the catch and a little silicone should expedite that process. It locks up solid as a rock and feels firm. What I would expect from an OEM hinge. I believe the stock itself to be OEM CZ. I've handled a CZ 922r kit in the LGS contemplating a purchase and this appears to be 100% identical. The hinge is preinstalled on the stock.
The adapter and tailhook come loose in the package. The adapter had 3 or 4 holes allowing the end user to choose LOP. The tailhook is fixed into the adapter by a roll pin. This eliminates fast and easy collapsing/extending, but is a non issue for me. I installed it extending all the way out. Before you install the roll pin the adapter fits VERY loose. Once the roll pin is installed it locks up with no play whatsoever. I have a bit of concern this could begin to get loose with use, but would be simple enough to eliminate with minimal work on my part if it happens.
The tailhook has a female indexing groove that matches to a male groove on the adapter. Slides on easy and tightened in place with 2 hex head bolts.
The bad. As mentioned in Yetiworks ad, there is no magnet to fix the stock to the pistol when collapsed. No big deal right? I'll put my own magnet on. Not so fast. The tailhook, having a wider profile than the stock CZ butt, pushes the stock too far away to reasonably install a rare earth magnet, which was my plan going into this. I'd guess maybe 1/2" away from the pistol.
In operation, this is a great set up. Getting a proper cheek weld to use the stock sights is a perfect height for me. Feels natural. Not like putting a Sig brace on an AR pistol and maneuvering for the right height. My cheek naturally fell to this like a rifle. CZ did a great job designing designing their folding stock. Yetiworks did an outstanding job making a pistol brace out of it.
Originally I was going to install a Gear head works tailhook mod 2. Actually got one for Christmas. Its a nice piece of kit, easily adjusts, but too wide and unwieldly for my taste on the Scorpion.
