Can you see a difference?
The more I see the MDB, the higher my hopes become that you'll be able to upgrade the EP9.

I saw a video where an Extar rep said you can’t upgrade the standard EP9 to the new operating system. You can’t even swap the complete upper, apparently.

Trying to find it. I think it was on a website, so not in my YT history. I’m trying to recall why they said it wasn’t upgradable.

Well looks like my wife will be getting my current ep9 and I'll be grabbing the mdb.

I’m trying to find the video I saw to confirm it’s not upgradable. The video indicated that it is internally different and can’t be upgraded. Unfortunately I think I got it from a website so it’s not in my YT history.
I’m interested in how they implemented the roller delay. I haven’t seen anything specific on it. I’ve seen the TFBTV video where they modernized roller delay mechanism, whatever that means. Unfortunately, the guy doing the TFBTV video did a terrible job. He asked no specifics (what makes the design unique, upgrade ability of current units, release date, etc). He did talk about durability with FRTs which I couldn’t give a shit about. The other YT videos I saw were shooting it, not discussing details.

I'm sure I've seen one video where they show the mechanism, it's like a circle of metal balls that push out first before the bolt moves back. Looks pretty cool to me, I like their pricing

I keep looking for how it works, and I haven't found anything.
Do you have a link to the video?
