First AR. 10.5 for 10/5

More range time, Rhodie 6k, and rattle can are up next.

For those curious: yes, the PA microprisms will work with a 3x magnifier and give a clear image. It’s just a pain to use with parallax and eyebox.
Probably swap for a variable prism once they get developed more.

What is the ODG can?

What is the green can behind the Tisha in Rob’s latest video? I don’t remember seeing it on the channel.

Polo K vs Rhodie 6k

Hey y’all, silencer noob here.

Is a traditional silencer like the polo k going to be quieter than a wonder can like the Rhodie 6k on a perfectly tuned AR host?

Host in my case is a 10.5 with AGB and A5H3 buffer.

Thanks!

Parking in a fire lane and dumping trash

This guy in my apt complex has three ram trucks. One of which he parks in the fire lane everyday. The other two he double parks in front of his trailer and up on the curb to the right.

Additionally, our complex has valet trash pickup from outside our doors Sunday-Thursday. There are also easily accessible dumpsters to take trash too if needed. Instead, this guy dumps his trash in front of our neighbor’s place (as seen to the left of the truck) whenever he wants.

Safe/good area to live?

Hi y’all! My wife and I are looking at moving to a townhome in the circled region. I haven’t found any posts or stats that would suggest the area is “sketchy”, dangerous, or unpleasant in any other way. With it being near a major thoroughfare, I want to do my due diligence to make sure it will be safe for us, our dogs, and our cars. Thanks for any and all input!

Rhodie 6 vs. Rhodie 6K: Noticeable sound difference?

Hey everyone,

Looking to pick up a Rhodie and I'm torn between the Rhodie 6 and 6K.
The specs on the 6K are definitely appealing—it's lighter, cuts down on the overall length, and saves a bit of cash—but I'm trying to figure out if the performance trade-off is worth it. Specifically, is there a highly noticeable difference to the ear between the two?

For context, the two main platforms they'll be living on are 10.5” 5.56 and 16” 6mm ARC (both with AGB).
I know the short barrel 5.56 is going to be loud regardless, but I’m curious if the standard 6 manages the blast significantly better than the K can, or if the K punches above its weight enough to justify the handier size.

If anyone has trigger time behind both of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts on sound signature, blowback/backpressure differences, and which way you'd go for these specific hosts.

Appreciate any insight!
