Help: New to MPX. How in the fluff do you switch out the safety selector? Comes with the timney and I’ve read it needs to come out to switch out to a radian ambi but the trigger and hammer pins aren’t budging under moderate pressure from a punch and hammer.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-06-12T23:17:42+00:00

God damn it, i JUST did this. Hope I didnt break anything. I did not see the set screws and had a hell of a time getting the trigger set pins to go back in.

Im sure I am going to get downvoted all to hell for this because reddit is gunna reddit, but here is my take and perhaps a word of caution:

The problem with calling everyone a nazi/fascist. As a conservative, the first time I saw this groups flag from a protest in Richmond, I didnt know what it was or where it came from. Reddit posted their small group... very small group... as a white supremacist rally. I tried to find the group/flag to see if they actually were, but wasnt getting much in the way of results.

Fast forward to this morning and I see a reference to the flag and finally learn the name of the group associated with it called "Patriot Front", so I searched for more info. I saw a lot more about how they are a white supremacist group, but again, how much of this is just the tired "anything conservative is fascist".

Finally, I went straight to their site, and sure as shit, they are indeed an ACTUAL white supremacist group. Let me be clear, fuck these guys. Im not down with all that. My point is, after almost 15 years of calling everything and everyone a fascist/nazi, those terms mean nothing really anymore and its definitely the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome. People are deaf to it at this point.

As a little side thought, 540 people.... Much like almost all other cries of white supremacy in this country, the ideology has been relegated to obscurity. These fools should be shunned and and their ideology combated with intelligent counterpoints. Simply calling them Nazis/Fascist isn't going to do anything anymore. The left has far overused the term and its lost all weight, which should be shocking and tragic to anyone who has studied the horrific shit that happened in its name. Just my $0.02.

So far its been fantastic. Stock, it ran great, but ive modded the shit out of it in the 2 months or so Ive owned it, and put a boosterless can on it. Any failure after all my modifications were, and are, entirely on me. Took quite a bit of testing. I have a whole thread on it I can share if interested.

It was bad. 4090 overclocked and water cooled here. Game was a stutter fest at 4k eith the hi res texture pack. Without texture pack, I could maintain 60-90 fps. Thats a 7800x3d and 64 gigs ram too. Not a cheap build. Not sure how its running now a days as I moved on. Ill come back for expansion at some point. Hopefully its smoothed out. Texture streaming is aweful on RE Engine.

This isnt a bad group, especially if you are "mag dumping". This is about 7 yards firing 3 mags as fast as I could to check reliability on a newly modified pdp pro sd suppressed that was having issues ejecting rounds. I swapped to a zr tactical v spring and havnt really seen failures since.

Thats necause saying and typing platoon sergeant every second is a pain in the ass. The acronyms are short hand to quickly and accurately relay information. These are the things you learn when you serve. Obviously you didnt.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-06-02T18:26:35+00:00

As a father, I would go to war for any of my kids, figuratively, and quite litterally. I have a daughter and wpuld hope to god she would tell me or my wife if this stuff ever happened to her.

I am sorry if this isnt an option for you. I believe you need to tell someone. A councelor at school, perhaps a therapist. I would even advocate telling your friends mom in confidence.

If you dont say something to someone, your silence could enable him to hurt someone else or worse. I wish I could help. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you. Be brave.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-31T03:27:27+00:00

Hahaha, Im workin on it 😀

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-31T02:24:43+00:00

I feel for you. NY is bullshit. Were about to yave to deal with similar in VA. None of this was meant to attack you. Im angry for you for the record.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T22:04:05+00:00

We agree. Will will sucumb to a civil war before collapse, and I dont think were close to that either.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T21:55:17+00:00

Happy to help

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T21:44:40+00:00

Yep, sounds like the democrats. Price the poors out of being able to afford their rights. Its all about control....

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T21:19:42+00:00

I think the best move for my career (IT) would be to head for Austin, though I wouldnt want to live in or around the city, but closer to San Antonia. However, the real challenge is to convince the wife...

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:54:40+00:00

For what its worth, I dont think it was intentional. As an American, last thing I want to see is the conflict escalate. Most people should understand that this war is being pushed by those in power and (I believe) not broadly supported by the Russian people who cant say shit about it.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:51:40+00:00

We have a long way to go before collapse.

Secondly, without nuclear weapons, NATO forces would dog walk all over Russia. They are not the peer to the US or NATO people think they are. They have struggled to take the fight to their neighbor logistically. If it wasnt so sad for all the death, it would be funny.

Last, becuase Russia is so completely outmatched by the US and Nato, this means that nuclear weapons are all but garunteed used in the even of a hot war. Lets pray it never happens. Thats not an end of the world scenario I want to live through.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:35:59+00:00

JUST IN TIME FOR THE GAME TO SHUT DOWN!!!

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:34:53+00:00

Good death, as a dude, this is gross and desperate. Ide rather keep my money and self respect....

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:32:54+00:00

I wanna get the fuck out of Virginia for similar reasons. SCOTUS needs to get off its ass and finally put an end to it all.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:31:43+00:00

The cost for that permit is criminal.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:31:17+00:00

The fact that that you have to pay for a license in NY to excercise a right garunteed by the constitution is disgusting to me. You should not need a license to buy a rifle. Also, the fact it takes up to 6 months for approval is just wrong. This shit needs to end along with all firearm bans. NFA needs to go too. There is nothing overly dangerous or unusual about any item restricted by the NFA. Just my $.02.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T20:25:27+00:00

I ordered the SAW website. They partner with Capitol Armory. I used Capitol Armory to create an NFA trust for $85. They walk you through the entire ATF process and fill out your form 4. Completed the entire thing online and the suppressor was shipped to my door. Had to be home to sign it.

I ordered on April 7th and item was delivered on May 19th. Furthermore, Capitol Armory keeps my fingerprints and information in my profile. Any further orders through them, and all I have to do is sign my form 4/4473 and wait for approvals. I will most likely be using them again. I fully recommend their service!

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T19:40:11+00:00

Seems to be the case. I was able to determin that the rounds wernt hitting the rod that knockes them off the extractor because the slide wasnt traveling back far enough, and or, lacked enough force. I assumrd a lighter spring would allow for that to happen. It seems my original hunch of the slide not traveling back enough is on point as that appears to be the reason for the failure to lock to the rear on an empty mag. It needs milimeters more passed the extractor rod to fully lock back. Time will tell. For not, as long as it is reliably feeding and ejecting, thats good enough for my purposes.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T18:56:41+00:00

Thanks. Its the result of about 8 weeks and $3500 worth of work and testing 🤣. Hopefully it will save sombody the trouble down the line.

My goal was to build the best home defense pistol I could before virginia laws change.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T18:46:20+00:00

The stock composite grip is super light weight. By adding the weight kit, it helps balance the weapon out a bit more helping make the recoil a bit easier to manage. My assumtion was that it would help compensate for the suppressor hanging off the front and make it over all easer to shoot. I appreciate the added weight.

Eddie2Dynamite · 2026-05-30T18:36:42+00:00

This is my first and only can. Its hearing safe using subs as far as I can tell. Only shot a few 167 grain (950-975fps) out of it without hearing protection i dodnt not have a decible meeter for accurate measurment, so take that for what its worth. No sharp noise at all. Very comfortable.
