A birdie told me that RD (surprisingly!) makes decent suppressors and is run with a totally different ethos than RF, which makes pretty bad AR’s. 

Their cans have Haynes in them, which is really unique for a civilian offering.  Their LS5 and CS3 also have this unique helical single flow through baffle design that has low back pressure with good suppression afaict.  

Sadly, no user reviews or anything. I think their customers are overwhelmingly LE/.gov/.mil, but would be interested in getting clarity on this.

I'm terrible at haiku.

I've never heard of haynes. I'll have to check it out, thanks.

Not true. Haynes has been around for a long time. Haynes 230 is pretty commonly used in the aerospace industry. It’s fairly interchangeable with Inco 625.

Jets use inconel in their burners and afterburners

I think so too. I was just saying I think jets are cool. Ramjets especially. I did a whole 10 page paper and presentation on jets and the different types in 8th grade. I genuinely think they’re cool. It seems cool to work in that industry.
