Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main feature of the NOVOX Research SPC-9 X-SD kit?

The SPC-9 X-SD kit's primary feature is its lower receiver, specifically engineered to accept PPSH-41 drum magazines. This required NOVOX Research to develop a refined magazine catch design to ensure compatibility without needing to modify the drums themselves.

How does the CZ Bren 2 conversion allow the use of 9mm suppressors with .300 Blackout?

The CZ Bren 2 conversion achieves this by utilizing a ported barrel within the X-SD shroud. This porting vents gas into the shroud, effectively managing the pressure and allowing for the use of 9mm suppressors with .300 Blackout subsonic ammunition.

What is the purpose of the 'shovel-nose' handguard on the GHM9 X-SD prototype?

The 'shovel-nose' handguard, developed by Silver Star Shooting Sports for the GHM9 X-SD prototype, is designed to provide necessary clearance for the SD shroud and to manage heat transfer more effectively than traditional handguard designs.
