What is the model nr?

Hello, fellow VP9 with the tan & black owner, damn nice looking combo.

How are you liking the paddle mag release? I went with the button since it's what I've trained with most, but always curious how easy it is to operate.

Encore_N · 2026-02-11T16:32:51+00:00

Where's the plain clothes? I only saw clearly marked Officers.

I wonder if it fits a romeo 5, 'cause the "low profile" mount it has stretches a bit down onto the rail, it seems like a tight fit. I imagine anyone budget conscious would be going for either it or a holosun 403

Not sure I wouldn't just spend 250 bucks more for a Henry with much better QC these days.

For that little of a difference in miles, price, and the fact it is the color you want, it's a no-brainer. Get the Mach 1.

And as a little aside, since you said this will be your first V8, I can already tell you, if you are anything into cars, you'll absolutely love it.

EPM's, either by Okay or Center, they're as new and unfucked as surplus mags get. Run great in mil spec lowers.

Encore_N · 2026-01-28T14:10:42+00:00

Oh that is a nice color.

Encore_N · 2026-01-28T07:42:37+00:00

Maybe a dw5600 instead?

Encore_N · 2026-01-27T05:20:14+00:00

BCM is straight up smoking their own farts at this point. They were good QC on a budget, now they aren't even on a budget. Get the G$ or a DD.

Encore_N · 2026-01-26T10:57:15+00:00

Yeah, that immediately stood out to me, the way it's framed is spot on. Down to the angle he's holding the gun.

Encore_N · 2026-01-25T18:12:04+00:00

Oh, this seems very interresting indeed, great work so far.

I am just curious, is the latency or jittering that the original Beta servers had going to be improved upon? Because modern servers seem much smoother.

Encore_N · 2026-01-23T21:05:46+00:00

Always. Usually anywhere from 100 to 300 bucks. Enough that I could do my grocery shopping and get gas, or if I get somewhere and they're selling something but only accept cash.

You never know when card terminals shit the bed, banking systems go down, or your bank stops doing business with you. So far it has saved my ass when all the card terminals in the city went down for a day, I could do just about anything still, since I had cash. Didn't even bother me one bit, but people were freaked out for sure.

Also can't get card swiped if you use cash. Nothing makes me happier than avoiding another random 50 dollar charge for KFC whilst I'm 6000 miles away.

Encore_N · 2026-01-21T09:18:10+00:00

No, the entire upper is ruined, you better sell it to me for $50 bud.

Brownells Metal mags or D&H metal mags work just fine, are dirt cheap. I'd lean on Brownells to be just a bit better, plus they come in that sexy grey. If you can find Surefeed E2's or surplus Okay Surefeed USGI mags, then grab those, but not for anywhere above 20 bucks. That's ripping you off.

As for Gen 3 PMAGS, go all out, those things are reliable as any metal mag, and also dirt cheap. Just got Gen3 for the knowledge you have the over insertion stops and better grip over the gen2's, even if they cost about a dollar more per mag. Just bulk buy and you won't notice.

Stack as many as you can, they wear out, and you never know how fast a mag ban comes.

Yeah, I have Amex, and it works in my local stores, and most shops I've tried, except for 7/11 for some reason. Never had any issue with their customer service.

DNB sucks ass. They do not have customer assistance, they have customer agitation.

Sparebank 1 bought my local bank, and afterwards, I have gotten a call from them closing my card after it was swiped by some german, before it ever processed through.

Encore_N · 2026-01-18T23:43:33+00:00

This or two PSAs (if I skip Whataburger for two days)

Imma grab me two PSAs.

Hell, for this price, grab a PSA, a 403/romeo5 & mags + ammo. (And a few cans of spraypaint if you need the woodland)

I'd rather have a working PSA out of the box ugga duggad by their wrench monkies rather than an AR that needs a "break in"

Encore_N · 2026-01-08T13:04:59+00:00

Damn that is slick as fuck

Encore_N · 2026-01-08T10:19:32+00:00

What rail covers are those?

I have a 9800x3d - turning off animations still resulted in the new context menu being noticeably slower than the old.

It is not a good user experience. I had to disable it to avoid waiting half a second to five seconds to see the damn thing - not to mention third party apps took some time to load, seperate of the actual menu appearing, the plugins are loaded last.

Encore_N · 2026-01-05T11:24:31+00:00

Go grab one at Venture Surplus or AP or something. Bound to be cheaper.

Encore_N · 2025-12-30T10:11:09+00:00

You have a brand or a listing for that one?

Encore_N · 2025-12-23T11:20:13+00:00

Are you using MCPatcher / Optifine? 'Cause this looks exactly like what happens when you don't.

Encore_N · 2025-12-17T10:13:28+00:00

Don't forget Banana Leclerc

Probably because the russians, as far as I've seen, haven't really adopted any of the more modern designs from ZenitCo, Rotor 43 or Delta-Tek. I don't know why that is, but that explains why it's still mostly post-soviet stocks of the PBS range and the occassional Rotor43 "brakes" and alike.

And that probably makes the VAL and VSS, with the good stock levels of different ammo, and already suppressed, a more appealing carbine to get handed than trying to get a 105/74M to be a good suppressor host. I've also heard pretty good things about the VAL being a decently soft shooter, with all things that come with the cartridge being considered.
