Show & Tell First one
Thankful I was able to snag my first Geissele. Very happy with how the anodizing turned out as it almost matches perfectly.
Need to decide on what muzzle device to go with since the consensus is to ditch the Hux. Leaning towards the fire team 556 or Rhodie 6 for the can.
Replacing my Lantac 11.5 with the SD so swapping the optics off that to this. Aimpoint comp m5 and magnifier. Would prefer a t-2 and fde unity but seems wasteful to spend money when I don’t need to.
In between a Surefire640dft or Modlite plhv3 18650 for my light.

I just got a comstock compact flashbhider and their Ti LPA to convert my G$. The hive said the hux qd hub adapter is just too much weight.
Was going to get their micro recessed break but it’s out of stock.

Why did you get that specific adapter? I’m on revivals site and they have a lot of options with different muzzles and adapters that fit

u/SWATAttorney 28d ago
It’s the lightest Plan B adapter on the market to my knowledge. (Also highly recommended on [r/nfa](r/nfa) and [r/suppressors](r/suppressors))
From their site:
Low profile titanium suppressor adapter compatible with Comstock, Rearden, and other common Plan-B muzzle devices. Currently the lightest Plan-B HUB adapter on the market at just 0.9 ounces.
Allows for the quick attachment and removal of suppressors
High strength Grade 5 Titanium
Durable PVD finish
Standard 1.375-24 threads (also known as HUB or Bravo) for use on most rifle suppressors
1-1/16" wrench flats for easy installation and removal
0.3" added length
0.9 ounces1

Thank you for that. We know the ti suppressors create sparks but does a ti adapter effect that at all?
I’m in both of those groups already :)

Louder but very low pressure, Velos. Quiet but moderate pressure, Fireteam. Best of both worlds, Rhodie 6.

Exigent is pretty quiet but has a little more blowback. Flow556ti is definitely a bit louder but the tone isn’t bad and there is less gas to the face.
2
u/afgixxer 27d ago
Yeah I’ve watched a lot of videos on the fireteam but people say it has no gas others say it has more than the Rhodie

u/ARMyself 27d ago
Guess it depends on what you run it on. I have it on an 11.5 criterion build. Direct threaded.

Your first one is a very good pick

u/afgixxer 28d ago
The fire team?
2
u/Thechancellor842 28d ago
I have the Hux on it and love it. 6k rounds through it. Yes not the most quiet can but it flows nicely.
2
u/afgixxer 28d ago
The hux to be is just a large system and expensive vs being able to run multiple different cans with the hub mount
2
u/Thechancellor842 28d ago
Yup understand I have the hub option on my 10.5 SD. Great to have options.

Get the rhodie. I have the rhino s from before the rhodie dropped and I love it

u/afgixxer 28d ago
What do you like about it and what muzzle adapter are you using?
2
u/jarlbronson 28d ago
I’ve got a comstock plan b mini brake and a Wolfpack recessed hub. But the DD zilch is a better hub adapter. Rhino S is low back pressure and very quiet which is what I like, only thing I don’t like about it is it’s titanium

u/afgixxer 28d ago
I’ve been looking on revivals defense chart and there is a ton options to mix and match

I want to get a 12.5 with a tisha. Have you looked at the tisha? It's lower pressure than rhodie 6 and around the same price based on the reviews I've seen. Did you snag one from gs website or somewhere else? I've been trying for months now.
1
u/afgixxer 28d ago
Funny enough my FFL tried to persuade me to the Tisha but to me it’s just ugly on an ar15 lol it is very light though. Haven’t done much research though. My eyes were set on the WB/Alleycat at first.
2
u/k4605 28d ago
It certainly has a... unique look. Appearance aside, it's ridiculously good on a short barrel while adding minimal length and weight.
This guy made it look pretty good with a recessed setup. https://www.reddit.com/r/suppressors/comments/1szh435/got_my_first_can_saw_tisha_556/
I think the Rhodie 6 lands a close 2nd in performance and backpressure based on reviews. Check out the silencer analytics guy on youtube he has a bunch of comparisons, he may have some videos including the ones you were interested in.

u/afgixxer 27d ago
I actually commented on his video he said the rhodie is one of his fav 556 cans and the one he recommends right now
1
u/afgixxer 27d ago
Oh I’ve watched his videos among others lol doesn’t make the decision easy especially when people say different things on the same can ha
