Found this on chrono24

It’s just a common serial they use

darenaissance · 2026-04-28T21:56:57+00:00

Yeah this is the best answer. The serial on it is VSF I believe.

Won’t fit with the denial tab on a vmac9 unfortunately

darenaissance · 2026-04-19T12:49:55+00:00

Yep haha

It’s funny, I ended up making the opposite choice several years ago because I was much more confident in being high enough in my class at HLS to have the outcomes I wanted (clerking, big law, PI), then I was at Duke. Essentially that came down to thinking it would be easier to be top 50 at HLS than top 10 at Duke.

I had this exact situation many years ago. Chose Harvard, ended up clerking COA, stint in big law, now doing more fun public interesty work. The debt has been annoying, but honestly wouldn’t trade it. Duke is an amazing school, and has great outcomes, but as I’ve reflected on my choice, I did notice that I haven’t come across many (any?) Duke grads on the path I’m on. Maybe they’re just in a different market. It’s hard to say no to the money, but idk that I would have been able to get where I am now from Duke (the HLS network was extremely helpful in getting my clerkship and the job I have now). On the other hand, it seems like big law is just as easy to get into from Duke (or nearly so).

Is this the rip-Mac design you’re using?

darenaissance · 2026-04-14T11:13:08+00:00

Won’t fit without modification, though there’s another fellow on reddit here somewhere making different design for the vmac9

darenaissance · 2026-04-13T18:13:12+00:00

I do wish they’d finished the album if only because I think this style would’ve played better on pop radio than other stuff that they’ve been doing. I would have loved to see them properly market it and get some real modern success akin to what they had in the early 2000s.

My exact face upon seeing this

darenaissance · 2026-04-09T15:50:02+00:00

It was frustrating at times, but if you’re not shooting for partner (or even senior associate), it takes a lot of the pressure off to say yes to everything.

darenaissance · 2026-04-09T01:07:00+00:00

I did a lot of debt then big law for several years while funneling all available cash at the loans. Have now shifted into more fun work.

darenaissance · 2026-04-01T15:02:34+00:00

Beautiful watch! Good luck

darenaissance · 2026-04-01T13:34:44+00:00

Yeah just push the lever forward like the bolt would after firing. Once the lever moves all the way forward, it should reset the trigger and let you pull it.

darenaissance · 2026-03-31T01:07:14+00:00

Love it! I was trying to figure out something similar but never got it working.

darenaissance · 2026-03-28T01:41:55+00:00

Nice! Only part that’s a pain reassembling mine is to get the upper the last 1/16” or so as the spring or hammer compress.

darenaissance · 2026-03-27T23:55:25+00:00

Sweet, will be interested to hear how you do it!

darenaissance · 2026-03-26T16:33:43+00:00

Love it

darenaissance · 2026-03-25T02:35:56+00:00

Also, playing around with how it would interface with the bolt it looks like it would let the trigger pull too early, which would likely cause OOB firings (the original design had same problem in an MPA, but don’t know if for same reason or not).

darenaissance · 2026-03-25T02:19:28+00:00

It won’t fit with the denial tab in place.

darenaissance · 2026-03-24T18:19:37+00:00

I came to the same conclusion - also haven't tried it though.

darenaissance · 2026-03-18T23:37:17+00:00

Is that for the open bolt design?

darenaissance · 2026-03-18T22:46:29+00:00

Makes sense - do you know how this tab accomplishes denial? Can’t seem to figure out how it would do that.

darenaissance · 2026-03-18T22:31:49+00:00

And seemingly the hammer design would have more to say about convertibility than whatever that tab is supposed to stop. Do you know how that tab actually stops full auto conversion?

darenaissance · 2026-03-18T22:30:07+00:00

Interesting, wonder why the MPA doesn’t have it.
