You make a very valued argument and thanks for the video link.Ok my only gripe with this are the fibre optic sights but that is purely personal I wouldnt have them on anything(I even removed them from my air pistol),I've got a Nov suppressor and I'm very happy with it and the build quality so come the sad sad day when my TM MK23(only upgrade I've done is straw hop) dies or god forbid I loose it I would buy this without hesitation and replace the sights?

 
As a no fuss sidearm for a sniper, it's a decent buy. Fibre optic sights, metal top slide, improved gas routing and future CO2 mags are nice. But Nov has shite customer service and is egomaniacal so would rather not support him

 
SSX just arrived.

First impressions: it's HUGE, I saw MK23s before but I didn't remember they were meant for cyclops .-.

Just a quick question, are the magazine springs always so stiff to pull?

 
Have none of your learned anything from his last pistol?...

No. Nov changed the spring to be stiffer because he thought it will solve a feeding problem. It doesn't. Paired with the shitty mag lips it causes double feed and eventually breaking the feeding ramp thing.

Mod the lips or switch to TM lips to avoid it.

Just bought some STTI mk23 mags they are stiff springs too while the TM one I have is pretty gentle,done a little bit of dremmel work to the mag itself so I dont have to top load anymore,do I need to go look for a video on how to mod the lips too?

Try the mk23 facebook community or https://www.onmymk.com/

I haven't done it myself, I have TM, but I heard that you need drill a dent in the lip so the BB sits in it and doesn't move forward too easily.

 
Well, around 1000 rounds through my SSX23 now with 4 diiferrent mags and absolutely no probs what so ever. there are about 20 people reporting feeding issues (very easy fix) v thousands who have no issues. I've personally found Novritsch's customer support very helpful indeed. Do those saying its bad even have Novritsch products or is it all third party heresay?

Oh and yes the mag springs are bleeding stiff and hard to hold down unless you have the printed gadget off ebay to hold it down.

Quiet, accurate, impressed with mine

Purely out of interest what kind of range are you getting? ?

 
Well then. Here we go.

This should go without saying.  It's saying something that it needs to be said.

How do you know how many people are reporting feeding issues directly to Novritsch?

How do you know what his support is like for problem guns if you don't have a problem gun?

I'm guessing the person who was told they are pulling the trigger wrong has one.

I think it's fair to take people's views, both negative and positive, in to consideration when evaluating a prospective purchase and I would be aprehensive about buying a product where CS tells a customer they're not pulling the trigger properly.

This doesn't mean it's not a good product and I'm glad you're happy with yours.

 
Haven't put many rounds through mine actually, just a couple of mags and so far no problems, only a jam with a mag that was almost out of gas.

I will file down the mag lips regardless just to be sure.

Also waiting for the suppressor from @Samurai

Will also get an armpit holster and mod it to accept this huge chunk of plastic. Now, don't get me wrong, the DTD holster is awesome, excellent build quality and the system is really clever, but I feel like it's going to be quite uncomfortable to draw the gun when prone.

I zip tied a holster positioned partly on the chest partly in armpit.

Of what?

A ghillie?

I found my old dropleg holster, wanted to zip tie it to my "sniper" backpack, but I guess strapping it directly to a ghillie would work too!

I've got a mate who has just got one of these, he also has the ASG version which we have upgraded a bit. He is very pleased with it, likes the feel over the ASG because of the extra weight however the double feed issue was so much worse than the ASG out of the box, even using the 'approved' trigger pull, however a bit of time spent filing the feed lips has cured the problem completely as it did on the ASG .

The ASG has had the silencer modded to act as a silencer rather than as a barrel extension by cross drilling the barrel extension and fitting foam into the silencer. Having shot both, Performance wise there is nothing in it, both have great range an accuracy, and both are amazingly quiet. I would agree that the Nov feels less toy like because of the extra weight but the modded ASG is every bit as good and with the cost of the upgrade parts ( hop rubber, I key and TDC ) owes him less than £100
