Thank you everyone, for your replies. I wanted to circle back around. I ended up buying an Aero EPC-9 set from B. King's Firearms. Now to order everything else to complete it.

I found the Aero Precision EPC-9 receiver set in stock....so of course now I'm looking into that rabbit hole.

Thank you. I guess my dilemma is that I can buy quality, even a JP-5, but just because I can doesn't mean I should. If I can get something that's a fun experience for $1k or around there....then why spend the $3,400 on the JP-5. I'm older and my peak shooting years are behind me. Really though, is where the JP-5 is appealing is for when my young kids shoot with me. I keep looking at the MPX PCC for the soft recoil thinking they would enjoy it.

@jrdoran and @bigdawgbeav - Thank you. It's nice to know I don't need a JP-5 to play the game. lol. @Maximis228 - I'd have fun building one, especially when I have everything to do it...but it looks like quite a bit of the popular options are out of stock. What's required to dampen the recoil when you build 'em yourself? I'm assuming we can't replicate the JP-5 or MPX recoil.

Will the recoil on the CZ Scorpion be similar to the JP GMR-15 ? I read they are both blowback....so I wasn't sure if they are comparable. I can make those changes you recommended. I watched the MCARBO tutorial.

Thank you. Coincidently, I see there is one in stock. I should have specified cheaper than an MPX PCC, too.

Other than JP or MPX, what's an attainable "can't go wrong" out-of-the-box PCC option for a new competitor that will solely shoot local small-time matches and be ok with not dominating. I saw the CZ, CMMG Resolute, Banshee, Springfield Saint, Lead Star Arms Barrage, Foxtrot Mike, etc... I have the tools to assemble an AR9 if that's the recommended route. I was hesitant in putting one together because I don't have time to try different parts until it's reliable. Thank you
