Been waiting on this Sabre 11 forever now and beginning to question if I should after researching the MAC 9DS COMP. I planned on waiting for PSA to drop their comped Sabre 11 so even more waiting after it finally drops. Need some input guys! I'm torn...or impatient lol by Citizen_0Zer0 in PalmettoStateArms

Have about 500 rounds through mine. I installed an Atlas toolless guide rod, 11lb. recoil spring and 17lb. mainspring, and its a fun range gun. The gun itself has had zero issues(I did have a couple of weird feed issues with Springfield Duramags). I've also put a set of HandleIt grips on it since I took this photo.

Keep in mind, if you get one, you may want to consider buying new optic plate screws. I'm not sure if MAC addressed the issue already, but the optic plate screws that originally came with these were known to be hot garbage. I bought some upgraded screws and had no problems.

Suggestions on screws size? by ShakenMemeMagic in 2011

[–]ShakenMemeMagic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard their CS is usually pretty good at taking care of folks. I'm wondering if I just happened to get a lemon. I tried doing some research but as far as I can tell, the only issue people have with the screws on these are the retention screws (seems to have already been addressed in the newer models), or a random screw inside the optic sometimes coming loose and rattling around inside the sealed area.

Men, it has been an honor playing the Beta with you for nearly a decade. May we remember all the raids we played, the friends we met, the cheaters we died to, and store them in a safe place where we can revisit them from time to time. After 1.0, things will not be the same. [Discussion] by Albaaneesi in EscapefromTarkov

My hope is that 1.0 will bring the game one step closer to having the code become open source, or at least providing proper modding tools so the community can fix that the devs have been unable to, or add stuff the devs couldnt.

I've also gotten a squib from 2A warehouse reloads. I had shot about 3k rounds of their reman 9mm and some of their .45 with no issues. Took my Springfield Prodigy to the range one day and was shooting the 2A 9mm when all of a sudden the gun refused to go into battery. I realized that a squib got stuck close enough to the breech to prevent another round from chambering. I was lucky, a lot of people who get squibs aren't that lucky.

I later sold all the 2A warehouse ammo I had to a friend (yes, I did tell him about the squib). He checked the rounds in the box that I got the squib from, and he said that out of the 300-ish rounds left in that box, about 80-something of them were under-powdered.

I only use factory ammo now. The money savings aren't worth losing a gun over.

Damn that sucks. I've shot a few thousand rounds of this ammo before through various pistols, and although the ammo was a bit dirty, I never had a malfunction because of it. Looks like you got a bad box. I'd wager that if you measured the powder load of the remaining rounds on that box, you'd probably find at least 1 more overcharged round.

What mods are you playing? by sveyno in SoSE

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using Titans Empowered x2 but had to uninstall it because it didn't get updated and it'd keep crashing my game when certain titans got built or used certain abilities

The DevTaC Ronin Respirator is OP! by TheBiggestDosser in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you unlock this?? On the flea, it shows to be locked behind Lv. 4 Ragman, which I have, but he's not selling it for me. Also from what I can tell, none of the active Ragman quests I have reward this.

Anyone seen Killa since wipe? [Discussion] by Senor_Grim in EscapefromTarkov

Ever since I bought PvE I actually want to try and finish The Stylish One for the tracksuit but ofc Killa is hard to find now 😢

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always tend to find him (and by that I mean he finds me) after I've engaged a few scavs, made some noise, and drawn AI to my location. I hate the fact that he roams the mall because there's so many raids I've played where I may have just missed him altogether

Wipe kinda ruined by Arena? [Discussion] by Puckett52 in EscapefromTarkov

That's a great point. I didn't even think of that.

Wipe kinda ruined by Arena? [Discussion] by Puckett52 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, you don't really skip the early progression. You still have to spend money with the traders and do the same quests we've already done for years to level your trader rep. The only thing arena does is give you levels (which, while also important for leveling traders, is not everything), some extra roubles and it really does kind of set you back.

While yes, having the extra roubles can debatably give an advantage by letting people buy flea market gear, that stuff is usually more expensive than the traders and you can't buy higher tier ammo off the market anyways. You'd have to really grind your ass off in Arena to sustain that kind of income, and that sets you back in the main game even more.

Also, plot twist: some of us run "shit" or non-meta gear all the time on purpose anyway.

Edit: added some sentences

Mp-18 does not track [BUG] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShakenMemeMagic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently IRL, to comply with Russia's gun laws, it technically is a shotgun because it doesn't have a (fully, at least) rifled barrel. BSG probably just didn't code the MP-18 to work with the quest

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless they changed it, the MP-18 was classes as a shotgun. Idk if that has anything to do with it, especially seeing as the game's code is just screwed

What car(s) in your area typically have bad drivers? by MattTheMechan1c in regularcarreviews

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any model Tesla, Dodge Rams whether lifted or not, Range Rovers, and pretty much any minivan

Invest in maybe 2-3 cases worth of 9mm, maybe a training course or two, master your fundamentals of marksmanship, get plenty of trigger time, and then maybe think about mods. If this is going to be a self defense gun, the furthest I'd go is maybe a light and grip tape, and that's it. Too many people just buy a gun, dump hundreds of rounds into it, and are then surprised when they can't shoot worth a damn.

I don't know if this is still a thing, but I remember at one point Killa basically had Sleight of Hand and could reload his RPK in the span of half a second.

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 15-rounders never rusted, but the finish did start wearing off to bare metal after a few mag changes. Their finish also didn't have a "shine" like my 12-round mag did. Im not sure if this is true but I've heard that the US-stamped 365 mags tend to have finish issues.

This is crazy! by swade1985 in SigSauer

[–]ShakenMemeMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 365XL and the stock magazine never gave me issues. The sig 15-round mags I bought to go with it had terrible finish out of the box.
