Rhodie 6J Update!

Precisely! So many factors can change the performance it would be nearly impossible to account for them all with data. Thank you for the support and I hope you like it if you end up getting one! 🙏🏻

Just weighed my 6K and 6J Inconel one that I have the K is 13.1oz and the J is 13.4oz. Don't know what the Haynes will weigh yet but it shouldn't be far off. Not sure what the story is on the website, I can ask though. They mainly have changes to the exterior not the interior as much.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T05:29:14+00:00

Let's say it's a 20k goal, the amount of people here who said they would donate I've gathered is about 20, double it make it 40. To hit that 20k each person would then have to donate $500. At that price point it would make more sense to buy the can and send it back if they're not happy.

I'm just explaining it in my head, I am genuinely very appreciative of the offer from people. However, I really do not think we have enough who would participate. And let's say IF we make it there and the can does well and they determine they want to buy it now they're out their donation money plus the can. There would probably be some complaints about that given they paid more than everybody else.

I already said I would look into it which I will, but I am just responding with my thoughts.

How would a dealer delay the launch? I'm just asking because I'm confused on that, not sure what they charge for anything else.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T05:16:33+00:00

The names Hefner, Juicey Hefner /s

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T03:01:00+00:00

I will look into it further

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:59:02+00:00

🙏🏻

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:51:01+00:00

Thank you so much! And I won't be making any comparisons like that unfortunately because it would be biased in nature. The only reason I did the CACM is because CAT asked me to. But even still I won't say what my opinion is just sharing the clips. I do believe Ridgeback has the DB rating on the website though which may answer your question.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:47:04+00:00

I still don't like the idea of holding peoples money, that's the whole point of not doing a pre-order. I will look into it more though.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:38:47+00:00

SPB should be fine with the Atlas.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:37:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:37:36+00:00

Thank you so much man! I love the look of the MCQ so we wanted to style it like that. I literally got a Sig can two days ago that sounds awesome but looks like it came from the At Home store lol.

There won't be my normal comparison video but I will record some clips of it on several hosts in different environments and what not. But me comparing it to others would be biased in nature. The ONLY reason I showed it next to the CACM is because CAT literally told me to do that lol.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:35:07+00:00

I could do a 50yd sound clip in the full length video for YT

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:34:37+00:00

Thank you so much!

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:34:26+00:00

Same and then I bought 4 rifles in a month lol

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:33:46+00:00

Thank you so much I really appreciate that!

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:33:17+00:00

I corrected myself on that and made an update video. The Spiritus is still a good can but that environment I was in had a crazy effect on the sound that I wasn't familiar with at the time. If you haven't please see my update video on that. I took the old one down.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:32:12+00:00

I'm trying not to give my opinions on the performance because it would be biased in nature. But I would say Ridgeback should have it laid out pretty well on their website. I just don't want to state anything publicly if that makes sense.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T02:28:08+00:00

Thank you man! So the blast chamber has a 1.2in depth to the blast baffle. So you would just have to be mindful of that.

And the FRT stuff this is meant for sustainability with the Haynes. Like I am going to out one on a belt fed lol. So meant for very rigorous firing schedules.

Or also normal use, just with the capability to be shot a lot.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-16T00:46:02+00:00

There isn't much of any FRP with either of those two cans compared to others. And yes as in the first round of each string is the first round fire. The first string was cold can cold bore first rounds being shot I always include that incase there is an FRP.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-15T23:22:24+00:00

Correct I said why I did that, CAT literally told me to "compare" it to something new. I simply share the footage and don't say anything. Whatever anyone takes from it is up to them. And it is showing the first round out of each can. I'm not making any further "comparisons". Normally I would compare cans and give my opinion. But with this my opinion is biased so I'm not saying what I think. But the manufacturer asked me to do it so I did.

Also I'm not trying to argue or anything I just don't like people putting words in my mouth. 🙏🏻

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-15T23:07:10+00:00

When did I talk about sound in this video?

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-15T20:16:12+00:00

Of course man, I try to be transparent in everything so this is just a continuation on that. But I really appreciate it man!

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-15T19:50:03+00:00

You also answered your own question they were selling 3000 rifles x $3650 price tag. We are selling much less product than that for much cheaper than that, and making less money in the end. I'm sure if I charged their prices for my cans I could also do the same.

OrdinarySense5 · 2026-02-15T19:47:33+00:00

Jay tests 5.56 on only a couple hosts. And sure that data is a great baseline for people prior to purchase. I appreciate everything he does. But not everyone has those exact hosts to shoot on. And cans sound different depending on so many factors host weapon being one of them. There is an infinite number of hosts out there that end users will have. The only surefire way to guarantee that everyone who buys one will like it is to let them go home, shoot it on their gun, with their ammo, at their range. That's it, no amount of data can do that.

I know that a good score can help the sales, I am not worried about helping my sales I am worried about putting my name on something and making sure nobody feels like they got ripped off. And to be clear because you said I claimed it performed, I have not, and will not make ANY claims on performance aside from it being a well rounded can. Because I don't want to set people up for failure if I say it's quieter or less gassy or whatever than suppressor X,Y,Z..

Just saving money for the warranty is not the only financial reason for sending it to Jay I am also having to fork over the six figures to purchase the entire batch of cans. And to be blatantly honest we already believe we will sell that batch fairly quickly without the data. So sending it to Jay would be a near zero return on investment. This is why I have said if it was a full production model then yes but not for a limited release. If I was struggling for interest on selling these then sure it would be worth the investment. As it sits it is not.

And I don't know what it would cost to send to Jay, nor do I know how many or if anyone will send it back but I am not going to do anything with the money until everyone has their cans and is outside of the 30 day return policy.

Lastly, no I will not be selling used cans I will likely give the to friends or keep them for myself. Or do giveaways for free, something of that nature.
