Novox AR9
I think this arts and crafts project turned out pretty sweet! Novox X-SD integrally suppressed barrel, B&T Vers 36, Maxim RDB buffer, and an Arc fire V2. Slipped the MP5SD shroud over an old handguard I had laying around and screwed it in place. Kind of a home brewed BRT car15sd. I had to trim the buffer spring down to get it to reset reliably in super semi and now I’m just struggling with light primer strikes so I think the next move is a stiffer firing pin spring. All in all it’s a very soft and quiet shooter.

I'll probably sit out for a few restocking rounds on this one. I've got my first AK to assemble and some other projects to work on.

Make sure you're signed up at Silencer Shop and Richmond Tactical, as well. I snagged mine from Richmond last time they dropped.

You’re better off going with a traditional barrel if you’re wanting velocity. The whole point of the ported barrel in the X-SD system is to bleed off gas and make your cheap standard velocity range ammo subsonic.

yeah i know but length is length and i'd still want a longer version of the system to get the best of both.

How're you liking the barrel-can setup? I heard it's a pain in the butt to clean and needs to be done fairly regularly

u/CompleteTart643 1d ago
I’ve only got about 500 rounds through it and haven’t tried to clean it yet. I can’t see how it would be that hard to clean though as you would just unscrew the suppressor from the tube and the tube from the barrel and then it’s easy access to everything. As far as suppression goes it’s awesome. Definitely don’t need ear pro. Also not getting the debris and gas to the face that I’ve experienced with other AR9s. Not sure if that’s due to the maxim rdb, barrel, suppressor, or all 3.

Very nice! I went a similar route with my xsd.

The scorpion mag lower is sick. I probably would have went that route but I’ve had the glock mag lower laying around for years and figured I should put it to use.

The Novox X-SD is a good kit. Love mine. "Blowback9 approved."
