More Rounds, Easier Maintenance: Novritsch SSX23/303 Gas Magazine Gen3

The Novritsch SSX23/303 Gas Magazine Gen3 is the latest generation magazine for the Novritsch SSX23 and SSX303 gas platforms, offering an increased 32 BB capacity alongside a number of practical improvements to durability, feeding and maintenance.

Gen3 brings a redesigned magazine base with a screw-on fixing system, replacing the older pin-based design and making the magazine significantly easier to disassemble and maintain.

Compatibility

The Gen3 magazine is designed for the Novritsch SSX23 and Novritsch SSX303 gas systems, making it particularly useful for players who run both platforms. The same magazine can be carried as a spare for either system, helping simplify your loadout.

Novritsch also lists compatibility with non-blowback Mk23 pistols from Marui, Y&P, Stti, KJW and ASG. Compatibility with third-party Mk23 platforms can vary, so we recommend checking the specific pistol before purchasing.

The “Pro” Take

For SSX23 and SSX303 users, carrying additional magazines is one of the easiest ways to make the platform more practical for a full day of skirmishing. With 32 BBs per magazine, the Gen3 gives you a useful increase in capacity while retaining the compact magazine format these platforms are known for.

The real improvement with Gen3, however, is the attention to the small details. The screw-on magazine base is much more convenient when servicing the magazine, while the reinforced feeding area and softer lips are designed to improve durability and day-to-day usability.

It’s also a particularly handy option for players running both an SSX23 and SSX303, as the same magazine system can be shared between the two platforms.

Gas, Loading & Maintenance

BBs should be loaded into the magazine from the bottom rather than being forced through the feeding lips. This helps avoid unnecessary stress and damage to the feeding system.

Novritsch also recommends keeping gas in the magazine when storing it. Storing a gas magazine completely empty can allow the seals to dry out and may result in leaks. As with any gas magazine, regular inspection and appropriate maintenance will help keep it performing reliably.
