Description
The Theta Extended Charging Handle for the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 and 3+ gets your fingers away from mounted accessories such as lights and optics, and provides a larger and more robust control handle for charging the weapon. The Theta Extended Charging Handle is ambidextrous and can be used on either the right or left side of the Scorpion. The finger catch/handle is machined from 6061T6 aluminum then hard coat anodized to MIL-A-8625, and the charging rod is machined from precision ground 17-4 stainless steel and black nitride finished.
- 11.5mm Extended Charging Handle
- Drop In Replacement, Ambidextrous
- Fits all CZ Scorpion EVO 3 and 3+ Pistol and Carbine Models (See note below for S2 Micro and Aluminum Handguards)
- Increased Clearance to Picatinny Rails
- Machined Aluminum 6061-T6 Finger Catch
- Machined Stainless 17-4 Charging Rod, Black Nitride
Designed and Manufactured completely in USA.
PLEASE NOTE: These charging handles are intended for use with the factory Evo 3 and 3+ handguards (made from polymer). If you have an aftermarket aluminum handguard installed or an S2 Micro we recommend that you consider our Pro-Stock extended polymer charging handle. Aluminum charging handles (including our own) can cause increased friction/remove the finish in aftermarket handguards and in some cases may not run as smooth due to the aluminum-to-aluminum interface with aftermarket handguards. If you need any help deciding what setup might work best for your application please just call or email, we are here to help!

Just got in the charging handle. After a quick visit to YouTube I had the info needed to swap out the tiny factory handle with something far easier to use. In less than 2 minutes, the handle was swapped. The HB handle is really nice and the fit and finish is off the charts. This is a high quality piece that makes a huge difference in the ability to charge the pistol. Where the factory was maybe a finger wide, the HB unit you can get 2 fingers on and keep your knuckles away from the top rail. Ordering was fast, and responses to my emails and questions was prompt. Thank you to Phil & the tem at HB. Great product & customer service.

Great product great customer service the handle saves the knuckles also looks really good I have the red one along with the trigger and safety delete….. Next is the AK safety
greg (verified owner) –
this is the first and most important change you need to make to your EVO, if you don’t want bloody knuckles after a shooting session. The finish and feel of the handle are perfect! can’t wait to put on the trigger!
Josh (verified owner) –
Very nice, a lot more purchase on it. Must have item.
Daniel Tubbs (verified owner) –
As with all of their products (I have the right side safety delete and trigger springs) the fit, finish and function is excellent. This small change makes a huge difference.

no more beaten up knuckles. a HUGE improvement over the cz factory part. thanks so much.

This extended charging handle is great. It lets you get two full fingers on it, and keeps you from busting you knuckles on the handguard rails. It is a serious improvement to the overall function of the Scorpion, and only takes minuets to replace. It also makes the return slap (HK MP5 style) even more addictive!

These guys rock, I got all my parts super fast and they fit great. super nice stuff at an awesome price.

I RECEIVED MY CHARGING HANDLE, RIGHT SIDE SAFETY BAR AND DUCK BILL MAG RELEASE. AFTER A PAINSTAKING SEARCH, I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE EVO 3 S1 IN THE CARBINE. THESE NEW UPGRADES FIT PERFECT, ARE OF HIGH QUAILTY AND REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE, ESPECIALLY THE CHARGING HANDLE. VERY NICE TO CHARGE THE ACTION WITHOUT DAMAGE TO MY FINGER… WOULD GIVE A 10 RATING….

Love this Charging handle it is a little bigger than the other charging handle ,I have both of them they are well made an work well.They help make your gun work great an look better a win win.
Vern Walls (verified owner) –
This is an excellent addition to my Scorpion! I don’t have use of my left hand fingers, so having the longer lever makes use of this gun much much easier. I recommend it to everyone!

Another one of those must-have upgrades. You will see a world of difference when you replace your stock charging/bolt handle with this one.
And replacement steps are very easy – anyone can do it.
And might as well get the other things too.
Here’s how I would rate the upgrades I added.
Theta Charging handle (or Delta) — this is a must have replacement
AK safety-lever – another must have replacement
duckbill paddle release – recommended since it makes it much easier
trigger springs – recommended if you want improve the pull

Just received Theta charging handle fit and finish are perfect. Customer service is topnotch Phil and the crew at HB are very quick to help get any issues you may have resolved. Thanks

This is one of the three upgrades I made so far. All three are I believe must-have upgrades. Ease of operation increases dramatically when you replace the stock charging handle, the mag release and the ak style safety. Fit & finish on all three are great.
All three were quick and easy to replace – unless you have ten thumbs you can do it.
Theta Charging handle
AK style safety-lever
Duckbill paddle mag release

Every HBI upgrade I add to my Scorpion makes an already great shooter that much better. Each item fits like it grew on the Scorpion. I could not be more pleased. The Red Charging Handle and matching Trigger not only function perfectly but , look Cool too. I also added the right safety delete and trigger spring kit and am waiting for the Duck Bill Magazine release. HBI is such a pleasure to do business with…Keep up the good work ! Randy , Dinwiddie VA.

Another 5 star product. Stock lever works, but is pretty cheap quality and def small. This one you can grab it with authority and fits like a glove in your finger. Installs in less then a minute. Just grab a small punch, pop the pin out, then use the punch to puah in the hole and it will depress the spring in the old changing handle and slide it out, slide new handle in, re-install plastic pin and away you go. I’m so happy I found this company.

One of the biggest headaches about the scorpion is the minuscule charging handle. This new charging handle should be one of the first upgrades you do to the firearm. It literally take 2 minutes to do and makes a massive change to the ease of operation. Great product!!!!

outstanding

Works like a charm. Solved my knuckle busting issue. Makes the Scorpion better

Awesome!

Imagine reaching for the stock charging handle at a crucial moment, and having your hand slip off that little handle. My Evo also serves as my H/D weapon, so I’m eliminating that possibility. The HB unit is very comfortable, long enough, and well built. It’s a MUST HAVE part.

As with all their products the fit, finish and function is excellent. I have the right-side safety delete, reduced weight trigger springs, Theta Forward Trigger and Theta Extended Charging Handle

Another HB Industries home run. Outstanding quality and finish. A must have upgrade for the CZ Scorpion!
David R. (verified owner) –
I still can’t believe how easy this charging handle was to install!!! Trust me if I can do it then anybody can. What a difference. I would recommend that a punch kit be purchased for this install. The stock charging handle definitely left me with a few knuckle bitters at least enough for me to start looking for other options. I purchased the red theta and it looks so cool on my CZ Scorpion and besides the look it has enough room for me to get almost two fingers on pull back. I LOVE that HB Industries posts install videos on their site for each product. Thanks much HB Industries!

If you’re running the factory charging handle and hand-guard on your scorpion, you may be familiar with having your knuckles cheese-grated off the pic rails because of how close the charging handle is. This replacement by HBI is an absolute home run. The additional length means my knuckles no longer feel the sting of the pic rail when getting the firearm into battery. Take heed of the notice that this should only be used with polymer hand guards such as the factory original, or an aftermarket guard such as one of HBI’s. Overall, another great product by HBI.

So much better than the stock charging handle, I can get a much better grip with my sausage fingers, highly reccomend
James Pabst (verified owner) –
Looks great and its much better than the stock charging handle. The only thing is its VERY loose. Like the diameter of the actual rod is a bit small so it rattles a lot and jiggles and moves around a fair bit. I am a little worried that over time its gonna cause a bit of wear.
Joe S (verified owner) –
This Handle is very big. I really like this charging handle but I would not recommend it if you have a Pistol or SBR SCORPION. I have this on my “scorpion carbine” It protrudes out a good bit, witch I can see as something not dizzied on a SBR or pistol. If you have a carbine I’d highly recommend this handle over the others.

This is a huge improvement over the stock Scorpion charging handle. Easy to install, and even if it wasn’t, HB’s customer service is top-notch, they would make sure you got it on there.
George N Despotides (verified owner) –
The HB Theta Extended Charging Handle helped to give a more positive finger control over the stock handle. It also now prevents your finger/hand from rubbing against the picatinny rail/hand guard. Very well built, & easy install. The only issues they were not mentioned in online install videos, is the retaining pin/clip fell into the pin hole on both removal, & install. I used a plastic punch to depress the pin through the pin hole in each situation, & fixed the issue.

I got the red and it looks nice on my Scorpion which is fde color nice contrast. The pictures make the handle look more of a matte finish some shine. It is actually a nice anodized finish very nice quality. Shipping was very fast. Very satisfied with my purchase.

This is one of those mods that make me wonder why it doesn’t come from the factory like this. So much better. The video made the install super easy and dropped it in in no time.
John Walsh (verified owner) –
I chose this over the Delta and very glad I did bc I have a light up front and this longer handle is just easier to grab. I’m not worried about it sticking out too far and think those comments are a bit silly when one considers folks are attaching lights, red dots, grips, etc that stick out far more than this little charging handle. Bought it in Red to match my Theta Forward trigger and my CZ looks fantastic if I do say so myself!
Easy install, watch the video, quality product. Thank you HBI for Made in USA great products (also bought the spring kit and safety lever).
