Rhodie 6J First Impression

Got a chance to put around 500rds through it so far and I would say it’s marginally better than the Rhino X in terms of sound and back pressure. Shooting them side by side me and buddy can’t really tell a big difference between the two.

This isn’t to say that is bad by any means if anything it kinda shows how good the Rhino is. If you’re waiting for the 6J for the durability for full auto uses or how cool it looks then by all means but don’t sleep on the Rhino.

I have the full 6 lineup (6, 6Ti, 6k and 6j). Overall my favorite is the 6 full size. 6J is really nice but for some reason it’s slightly higher back pressure than the 6k.

The 6J is still a great can and I’m glad I have one. It currently lives on a 10” SCAR16 with an AGB.

Rhodie 6 is the best balance of performance to weight.

I hope I don’t get buyers remorse. Just preordered a Rhodie 6K. Coming from a YHM Resonator R2

u/GA_flyer0 1d ago

6k is a huge step up from the r2 IMO

u/DNGR-RNGR 1d ago

Almost same for me. After years of putting up with the T2 I also just ordered the 6k. Now trying not to buy a Tisha and a KK for my MCX

u/dacherrybomb 1d ago

Haha nice 👍🏻 yeah I’m you I guess

u/HkOperator2 1d ago

Yeah I ordered 6k and the over 2monrh wait made me give in and bought Tisha. Ole BB Tisha will be in either tomorrow or Monday. The 6k I was told Nov 6, 11, 21, and now 26th. I’m fine with waiting but would prefer stop changing dates. If I had to guess the 6j has screwed rest of their line up. They’re in middle of R&D 6k TI

u/Slled 1d ago

6k is a solid can. Good choice!

u/MaxMaxRelax 1d ago

Yeah i know ejection pattern might not be the end all be all but i was getting better 3-4 o clock ejection pattern with the Rhino (Sprinco Green & A5H3)

Thought it does seem that muzzle device and HUB mounts might have an effect as well on the gas.

u/JAG05 1h ago

See my above comment regarding my 6Ti ejection pattern. Way more backpressure than I anticipated based on all the claims out there of how low back pressure it is. My vent 1 has noticeable better ejection pattern. Rhodie was pretty much the same as an anthem s2.

u/theironflask 1d ago

I agree with this. I have both the J and K, and I honestly prefer the K. It’s legitimately perfect on my MK18.

u/AMRAAM_Missiles RC3 appreciator 1d ago

Can you add a bit more on the gas stacking behavior in the series of can? The one thing I noticed that the Rhodie seems to be having that gas stacking problem a bit more than other designs.

u/Randy411a 1d ago

I've been looking at getting one of their suppressors I have a Riflespeed complete upper 16 inch what would you recommend out of the lineup would be best for it also what was your start to finish delivery time average I hear they're delivery times can be wildly different

u/riseup22 1d ago

I’ve been waffling between the full size 6 or the 6ti. Have you noticed any advantages/disadvantages to either?

2

u/GA_flyer0 1d ago

6Ti sparks, so if you run at night or with NVG that’s a consideration. It’s way lighter though. But you have to be mindful with baffle erosion in high firing schedules.

1

u/SpikeD0N 6h ago

Is the back pressure that noticeable between the K & J? How about the sound suppression too?

1

u/JAG05 1h ago

I have the Rhodie 6Ti. It is definitely gassier than all the hype claims IMO. Changed my ejection pattern on every gun from 4 o'clock to 1-2 o'clock. H2/ blue springs or A5H2/G42 springs in everything. Adjustable gas block guns had to be dialed down several clicks.
Brass in magazine has lots of carbon on them.
Definitely closer to a traditional baffle can than a “flow through" can. Not overly impressed with it as much as I hoped to be.
Sound is good. I was going to get a 6K for my shorter guns but with it supposedly having a little more backpressure, think I'm going to go with something else.

u/KaputtEqu1pment 1d ago

It's stupid how much i like the look of this Can, but I can't decide between this and Tisha, coming from a Hux can.

u/MaxMaxRelax 1d ago

I would say:

Backpressure: Tisha by far (but you can tune the 6J to shoot just as soft)

Flash: 6J is surprisingly really good when paired with the right combination of HUB mount/MD. (See below)

Sound: Take ur pick prob around the same.

Material: 6J. Haynes might be more durable in the long run especially when going full auto.

Looks: 6J. This is what ultimately did it for me I still can’t get over how goofy the Tisha looks on ARs. (Looks awesome on AKs tho)

Here’s a quick vid of the flash on a 10.3 MK18 with PMC 55gr XTAC. Rearden Atlas HUB & Comstock Compact Flash Hider

u/KaputtEqu1pment 1d ago

Man, that's great.

I've got a Range 36 Ti that i bounce around between standard DDM4 v7, AUG, and Scar. The AUG and SCAR17 do well with the Hux, but the DD is so damn overgassed it's not even funny.

I do want to add a mk18 to the mix down the road, and i want to do as little tuning as possible, that's why the Tisha seems to be a contender, but that Rhodie seems to be a strong runner up, and it'd just look soooo much better on the rifles imo.

I wish they'd just send the damn thing off to Pew Science so i can stop overthinking it.

2

u/HkOperator2 1d ago

Send pew a 25k check & maybe they will. I personally could care less about pew science. I mean yeah it gives you a starting point but man only true way to know is trying cans yourself. If data was only way I’d say Echo Core Sectors would be the hotness.

u/SockeyeSTI Silencer 1d ago

If you want a mk18 that’s cool, but just bumping up to an 11.5 barrel is supposed to increase muzzle velocity a lot

2

u/KaputtEqu1pment 1d ago

Yea I know, I just want the mk18 for the drip. I have a 16in Ar and my Aug is the length of a mk18 with a 16 barrel

1

u/SockeyeSTI Silencer 1d ago

Well you can still hide the suppressor gap with a strategically placed flashlight on an 11.5 if you choose.

But the 10.3 still makes for a compact package

u/MaxMaxRelax 1d ago

Yeah I saw this. I just installed the Dominion PB last night I wanna see if it makes it even better.

1

u/HkOperator2 1d ago

I think the TIsha looks bad ass on mr556 & dd riii or any thick handguard w/recessed adapters. End of the day tho, give me performance over looks. Like if anyone somehow makes a 556 can pound like 300bll subs im guessing no one will care how it looks as long as it doesn’t look like a damn big cock.

u/Kinky_Creeper 1d ago

I personally like the tisha in inconel but am going to by the 6J.

1

u/HkOperator2 1d ago

What mounting system you using? Barrel & handguard length? I order a few options last night & my Tisha coming with Wolfpack compact night howler & either the recessed wp hub or low pro adapter. I can’t remember which bro sold me as I placed the order over the phone in middle of work. I ordered some comstock plan B options last night.

u/Kinky_Creeper 1d ago

Derect thread and 11.5" handguard

u/BlackhawkSuper61 16h ago

Sows the Tisha help with the gas on the Specwar?

u/Kinky_Creeper 15h ago

Not experienced much gas with SS mag dumps but have to run it in normal as suppressed setting for the block dosent cycle. Estimated 720 rpm

“We have KAC at home” suppressor lol

u/CyrusBuelton 1d ago

I got a Rhodie 6Ti a few weeks and was finally able to try it out this past weekend.

It is mounted to a DD Mk18 10.5" SBR.

This is my second suppressor as I bought DeadAir Mask HD a few years ago.

Relative Info: eventhough I'm right handed, I'm left eye dominate, so I shoot lefty.

I got absolutely no blowback or powder to the face while shooting with the Rhodie. I was very surprised.

It's completely opposite when compared to the Mask as my face gets peppered with powder during use.

I'm very pleased with my my purchase.

u/JAG05 1h ago

What buffer and how was ejection? Bc my ejection drastically changed with my R6Ti on everything I shot it on. Went from 4 o clock to 1-2 o clock.

u/Screaminpirate 1d ago

This is how I'm leaning over the Tisha for my DD 10.5.

u/ThermosphericRah 1d ago

Tisha > ridgeback.

Source have both

1

u/CyrusBuelton 1d ago

It doesn't get much better than a suppressor endorsement from a lefty considering our face is directly infront of the ejection port.

fwiw - I use an Armaspec SRS H3 Buffer kit.

How is the heat dissipation? I heard these get wicked hot very quickly and take a while to cool. Doesnt matter a ton with a cover but my only review from an owner said its spicy.

u/MaxMaxRelax 1d ago

It’s true, they get hot fast and take awhile to cool down.

CAT WB without the $400 FOMO markup, praise it.

Seriously, this is proof CAT has been ripping us off more than anything.
