The verdict came down to two details: receiver-integrated stock lockup and a functioning rate reducer. Kenny ran the whole session with Corbin from Titus Arms , the man behind the TA61, plus a stack of cans spanning 9mm and .32 caliber. The headline piece was Novox Research's XSD integrally suppressed adapter — a ported-barrel prototype designed to keep imported Czech surplus ammo from breaking the sound barrier. It is still a v1 barrel married to a v2 housing, and it shows. It is also the quietest thing they shot all day. Both guns in the video are 3D-printed carbon fiber nylon receivers, which makes this as much a printed-firearm review as a suppressor test. Corbin also confirmed the giveaway at the end: serial number 200 TA61, currently in pistol configuration, destined to be an SBR. Key Takeaways The TA61's stock mount is machined into the receiver, while the Checkpoint VZ61 requires a separate adapter plate that Corbin says has noticeable play. The TA61 includes provisions for the VZ61 rate reducer; the Checkpoint does not — Kenny noted a slower, \"chuggier\" cyclic rate and better hit accountability on target. Both receiv…
