I don't think the SPC9 and the FX9 could be more polar opposite, lol. The B&T is high quality, with a properly tuned recoil system and hydraulic buffer, whereas the FX9 is cheap and sloppy with not enough buffer weight, or spring, or both. Every time I RO someone shooting an FX9 I have to stand behind them so I don't get peppered with all the junk coming out of the ejection port with every shot.
The soft shooting feel of your B&T likely has a lot more to do with the hydraulic buffer than the brake designed to work with a suppressor.
The short answer is no. The long answer is yes (bolt requires hollowing out) and there might be some shimming required. We will find out soon. I think Scotty and I some how contacted rdsc at the same time about these (I thought I was the one that got the ball rolling 7 weeks ago hah).
So yeah we will see what's all required shortly.
I got my FX9 to work as best as it can get my only issue with the FX 9 after all the mods done is it does not like reload ammo and excessive gas, hence the upgrade to my GHM9, APC-9 and eventually to the SPC-9. To recap the cost associated in the process of making the FX9 work as well as it does now I probably could have just got the SPC-9 but then again this was like 5 years ago when I did the mods to the FX9
different buffers set up, triggers, ammo, barrel length. it all add up...What could you possibly have done to an FX9 that would even come close to the cost of a B&T?
It's a rabbit hole that has no bottom. In the end, if you compete those last few seconds faster you are, are very expensive seconds. Personally, I am still stuck at the bottom of Marksman in IDPA PCC with an FX9 and a Raven9 bbbbbbuuuuttt if I buy a B&T maybe I'll make Master ......naw I have a better chance of walking on water. Lol.

Ps presently about to replace my Raven's barrel and forearm and buffer and trigger and......
Uuuuuuunfortunate. lol
But on a positive note- the Maxim roller delayed buffer made a HUGE difference. Felt recoil was very noticeably different. Much less, but also different recoil, it felt like the recoil impulse duration was extended a bit. Much less sharp. I had an Armaspec Stealth buffer in it before, and the recoil was typical PCC; sort of sharp, little violent. Now mag dumps on target with minimal dot movement are pretty effortless. No buyers remorse for me!

Actually I got feed back at a lvl 3 IPSC match here from the Chrono team. My FX9 shot smoother and softer than all the other pcc's at the match.. including Clarence Ye's B&T (he finished 2nd at pcc nationals this year)....What could you possibly have done to an FX9 that would even come close to the cost of a B&T?
Kynshot hydraulic buffer, strikefire AR10 carbine flatwire recoil spring, and a homemade 3oz stainless steel buffer spacer shooting FH Munitions 124gr ....smooth as butter.
I have been thinking about picking up a Maxim to play around with.
What did you put yours in? FX9? I have heard multiple people say that the Raven needs the bolt drilled out but does the FX9 need any mods to be compatible with the Maxim?
He asked what you put it on, not what you didn't put it on. If not a Raven, FX9 or AR style, what?
