Novox Research is proud to announce the X-SD. The X-SD is a modular integrally mounted device which, when used alone, acts as a blast diffuser and linear compensator. It can also be used to mount your Bravo (HUB) or Alpha thread pattern muzzle device, should you decide to use one, so that you can enjoy every benefit of the velocity reduction that is inherent to the X-SD.
The X-SD comes as a complete package. Simply select your variant, based on the platforms we support, and you'll receive a kit containing the following:
-Ported barrel
-Complete X-SD shroud
-Alpha (1.125x28) thread adapter
-Bravo/HUB (1.375x24) thread adapter
Development of the X-SD was driven by the idea of eliminating each drawback or caveat that needed to be covered as we described the system. While this required an initially uncomfortable divergence from tradition, we're confident you'll be happy with the results.
-Issue #1: Initially, we used an o-ring like most "SD"s to seal the base of the system.
--Fix: We now use a taper machined at the base of the barrel to seal the system.
-Issue #2: Other AR9 SD systems require the use of specific barrel nuts or handguards.
--Fix: With an outer diameter that does not exceed 1.27" when paired with the Alpha adapter (1.5" with HUB), and compatibility with any AR barrel nut with an overall length NO GREATER than 2.24" (57mm), the X-SD is compatible with most currently available handguards.
-Issue #3: Traditional SD setups lock you into using a single platform or mounting pattern.
--Fix: We owe this one to the kind folks down at B&T, who suggested we move to a modular 3-piece design. Well, who are we to question Swiss magic? We took that suggestion and ran with it , resulting in a lineup that allows for nearly limitless adaptations. But we'll expand on that later!
Initially, we're offering the X-SD for the AR9, Scorpion/Nexus Evo platforms, with SPC9 soon to follow. And we're not stopping there! We want to see the X-SD be compatible with every major PCC platform available.
We don't want to sell you something crazy-expensive or force you to use unfamiliar, proprietary accessories. In fact, we hold ourselves to a standard of requiring as few changes to your setup as possible. It is not OUR place to tell YOU how to set up your gun. With that, rest assured that we're continuing R&D so as to support longer barrel setups, as well as other calibers!
We just want to offer you the best, most versatile integral mount system
at the best price possible. We strive for integrity and amicability. Feel free to reach out to us on any platform at any time. We'll get back to you ASAP, and we're happy to chat as long as you need.
