Ridgeback Defense Rhodie 6

RIDGEBACK DEFENSE RHODIE 6 SUPPRESSOR - LOW BACK PRESSURE INCONEL 5.56 / 6MM SILENCER, FULL-AUTO RATED, HUB MOUNT

The Ridgeback Defense RHODIE 6 is a full-auto rated 5.56 NATO and 6mm suppressor built from 3D-printed Inconel for AR-15s, SBRs, and high-velocity 6mm carbines. It measures 5.5" long with a 1.75" diameter, weighs 15.5 oz, and is finished in Cerakote. Ridgeback Defense rates it at 132 dB, its top sound rating across the lineup, and lists its back pressure as the lowest of any Ridgeback suppressor.

Ridgeback engineered the RHODIE 6 to pair top-tier sound suppression with low back pressure, a deep and smooth tone, and a minimal flash signature. It is designed for barrels 10.3" and longer and built for both moderate and heavy-use scenarios, whether that means a 5.56 SBR or a high-velocity 6mm carbine.

The RHODIE 6 uses a HUB (1.375x24) rear interface and ships without a mount, so it can be paired with whichever HUB-compatible mount you prefer. Muzzle devices should have a maximum depth of 1.5", measured as device depth rather than total length.

CAPITOL ARMORY'S OPINION

The RHODIE 6 fills a really useful spot in the Ridgeback lineup. The RHINO X is all about extreme-duty abuse tolerance, while the RHODIE 6 is tuned for back pressure management. Less gas blowback means cleaner cycling, less fouling, and a more comfortable day behind the rifle, especially on the hosts where gas management matters most.

We think 132 dB with a deep tone is a great result for a 5.5" can. The 6mm compatibility is a nice bonus, too, since it lets you run one suppressor across your 5.56 carbine and your 6mm build. And because it's Inconel, it handles volume fire without the heat concerns you'd have with titanium or stainless at this size.

If you need something built purely to take abuse, take a look at the Ridgeback Defense RHINO X. And if you want the Rhodie approach to gas management in an even shorter package, the Ridgeback Defense RHODIE 6K brings the length down to 4.5".
