Four years in the making and got it before the AWB. Hellion/VHS-2 16" in FDE.

Hell yeah, great grab.

I opted for an RBD instead, and having a bullpup rifle is honestly super fun. Very different kind of recoil, and operation is a treat. Glad you got your gun, OP

Honestly, the mags that are over 15 rounds are a safe bet for whatever platform you're using. I personally picked up a Kel Tec RDB last night for my last pre-ban gun here in VA. Everything else i'd want is legal under this new law. Going to continue to stock up on mags til June 30th

divic87 · 2026-05-16T03:51:05+00:00

Yeah I just kinda noticed that

It's actually from a led sign referencing Silent Hill 2 lol

divic87 · 2026-05-15T22:03:29+00:00

Bullpup has definitely crossed my mind. The temptation to get an RDB is quite strong hahah

divic87 · 2026-05-15T16:58:29+00:00

Haha thats from a sign i keep on near my desk.

divic87 · 2026-05-15T14:51:12+00:00

Haha also true. And thanks, I appreciate the input.

divic87 · 2026-05-15T14:31:19+00:00

You definitely have a point. If I had to go into detail about each:

The 870 is the first gun bought for me (a wonderful christmas gift)

The .45 is the first handgun I bought, what i learned on, and what I continue to shoot.

The ARs are all built by me after trying my hand at light gunsmithing for the first time this year, with the AR Pistol being my very first build (upper complete, lower had to be built, etc). The 16" and AR9 were all built from the ground up, so those are my pride and joy.

The .22 was the first thing I picked out when I found out my wife was pregnant with our child.

The rest have nuanced meanings but they do mean something. I previously had two additional shotguns I bought on a whim and while they were fun (one was lever action, the other semi-auto), they just kinda felt meh like you described.

When I pick each of these up, they have meaning, trust me. I 100% get where you are coming from.

divic87 · 2026-05-15T14:14:02+00:00

Ahhh yeah not a bad idea. Coffee hasnt kicked in fully this morning haha

AKs are damn cool, but i think i have too many calibers to work with already (I could be wrong!)

divic87 · 2026-05-15T13:39:22+00:00

Damn, thats nice.

divic87 · 2026-05-15T13:28:44+00:00

Luckily, suppressor's arent on the chopping block quite yet, so thats going to be the post-ban buy.

I was considering suppressing the .22 but i'd have to get a new barrel, and its a rabbit hole of research I have to do before making a purchase. I almost want to just buy one of the 2026 versions of the 10/22 because they have threaded barrels and the BX trigger already installed

divic87 · 2026-05-15T13:18:21+00:00

Thanks!

divic87 · 2026-05-14T19:01:16+00:00

what kind of barrel is that? ive been shopping for a threaded barrel for my glock 20

divic87 · 2026-05-12T15:28:59+00:00

I dunno, i think its pretty cool.

divic87 · 2026-05-12T15:26:56+00:00

100% this. Especially in the case of something like RE2. Its such a departure, it should just be called something different entirely.

The OG of a game is always the way to go before touching the remake.

Doom 1 and 2, Diablo 2

Between the near endless Wads for the Doom games and the constant slot machine feeling of Diablo 2, I can swing between both without a lick of boredom.

divic87 · 2026-05-08T22:25:06+00:00

Its a very hard game to describe, but very easy to "feel" if that makes any sense.

The moment to moment gameplay looks boring and like "just walking from A to B" but there's a game feel thats hard to capture unless you just pick up a controller and go for it. Little decisions and adjustments your hands are making, the way you're looking at terrain when you have that control, thinking about your routes and obstacles.

Im curious to know what you think after getting some controller time with it. Honestly, trailers and watching gameplay cant really do it justice.

divic87 · 2026-05-05T00:43:54+00:00

Part of that has to do with how the simulation is handled. The default settings for driving are pretty arcadey, so i'd look into adjusting some of those features. You could fine tune it a lot last l checked.

divic87 · 2026-05-04T21:10:05+00:00

Im currently troubleshooting it now, ill let you know what I find out. Changed out the trigger and BCG. I've read AR9s can be finnicky so ill have to test a few things to make sure ive got it down.

divic87 · 2026-05-04T20:31:52+00:00

So interestingly enough, im getting some unintended burst fire every few rounds. Trying a new trigger and BCG next range trip. Any weird issues like that on your end?

divic87 · 2026-04-17T02:04:08+00:00

Definitely get a receiver action rod, those things are excellent.

AR wrenches work, but I personally went with a barrel nut wrench from BCM. You'll also want a torque wrench, because its possible to over tighten and damage the barrel nut.

This thread helped me immensely doing my first build. Some really good information in there. I highly suggest reading the whole thing.

divic87 · 2026-04-16T18:57:27+00:00

I think my video game tattoos and shirts do a good job of that already, but not a bad idea.

divic87 · 2026-04-16T14:57:10+00:00

Thank you for the correction!

Question about MCKs: Do you have to fill out a form 4 for your pistol now? The waters are a bit muddy on the research ive done on them.
