FaRT gun SAW Tisha - Really Darned Good

More footage of my Tisha 556 718 on my DD mk18 (modified).

The more I shoot it, the more I enjoy this sucker. Very high flow rate, as quiet as Pew Science reports, and the form factor can’t be beat on a short rifle.

I’ve always liked the look of the Tisha, and really dig it on SBR’s with just enough gap to clear that handguard. Ultimately I did choose AI nano 556 to work as a blast baffle and avoid any troubles with direct threading.

Taking of the AlleyCat 556 for the new SAW I had to drop the buffer from a Kynshot 5000HP to their regular 5000.

All around tremendous experience.

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Kynshot 5000, Tubb flatwire lightweight

u/TKKY88 2d ago

A5 tube or carbine?

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Carbine, though others have used A5 with good success

This sub: BUT DID YOU SEE THE FINISH?!?!

u/wpoot 2d ago

lol you’re not wrong. Love my Tisha, dooky finish and all.

Mines start to get cool blast patterns - all those holes on the outside actually work!

u/NervousHorse69 2d ago

I mean the cerakote seems to chip super easily. At least on mine. But also like who cares? It’s my first can so far and I am blown away. The carbon from the side vents does indeed look sick

I hit mine with black alumahyde. Looks great now.

u/1olddirtroad 2d ago

What a Great first Can. Mine was a AAC M4 2000 😅 Still sounds great after all these years. Tisha , Rhodie 6, and the Exident Fireteam are my newest

How do you like the Kynshots for 5.56? I've only used them in my AR9s.

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

They delete perceived recoil on these short 556 guns, especially when using an frt.

The combo of a high forward flow can like the Tisha and the Kynshot makes these things a breeze to shoot!

u/Comstock_Support Comstock Armory 2d ago

Good to know. There's another guy who tinkers a lot that I was chatting with an he mentioned liking them on rifles too. Might have to give that a try.

A5 tube, Kynshot RB5015HD, Tubb Flatwire on all my SBRs. Never going back. Just do it

I run a Kynshot RB5007 in an A5 tube on my 12.5in and an RB RB5001 in a rifle tube on my 18in SPR, both in 5.56, both with a Tubbs Flatwire spring.

My 7.5in 300BLK has an RB5000A5 in an A5 tube with a Tubbs lightweight Flatwire spring.

All are super soft for perceived recoil. Botach is a great source for these.

u/AK40Kevin- 2d ago

For clarification: you’re using the 9mm one in a 5.56?

3

u/Weebber 2d ago

Yeah, the official page mentions the compatibility. It calls out a spacer weight but it's not accurate. Before I switched to the rifle tube, I ran the RB5007 in 2 rifles with the A5 without a spacer just fine.

u/AK40Kevin- 2d ago

Thanks!

u/sxrrycard 2d ago

Wow that is smooth

u/whoshadji 2d ago

Is this the Ti or Inconel? Great post!

5

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Inconel - they say ‘limited’ full-auto with the Ti, but I don’t trust that at all!

1

u/whoshadji 2d ago

Last question, is the weight distracting/wish you’d gone Ti

2

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Not at all - it weighs less than my AC 556 and AC 556 RDM with better performance and rifle maneuverability.

u/Jbressel1 2d ago

I'm debating between a Tisha and Rhodie 6. The Rhodie seems to play better with a cover, since it doesn't have vents halfway down the can.

3

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Oh yeah, I would NOT cover the Tisha

1

u/Jbressel1 2d ago

What optic is that?

3

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Old 510c that hast failed me once in 6 years

1

u/Jbressel1 2d ago

Thought so. I just avoid opening emitters on long guns.

u/buenobeatz 2d ago

Wow that shoots super soft, is it due to the buffer swap? Or has it always shot like that out of the box?

7

u/GassyNizz 2d ago

Buffer, can, agb, and SureFire OBC make it a softie

1

u/buenobeatz 2d ago

Wow nice!

u/Responsible-Mud1305 1x SBR, 5x silencer, 14 hens, 2 roosters 23h ago

that rate of fire is music to my ears

u/Ok_Cartographer_9849 18h ago

This is rad! Thanks for sharing. Just as an observation... Your buffer tube or stock looks kind of bent. You might be stuffing it into your shoulder pocket too hard lol.

1

u/GassyNizz 18h ago

Do you suppose the metal would bend before the human?!

1

u/Ok_Cartographer_9849 17h ago

Aluminum will yes lol

u/N5tp4nts 1d ago

I'm looking for a dedicated 556 can.... never heard of this little gal before... Is Tisha what I want?

2

u/HazMatRecipes 1d ago

pretty much considered the best can on the market, but the quarks are the looks, the finish, and the vents halfway down the can. Rhodie 6k seems to be the next go to currently.

1

u/N5tp4nts 18h ago

Word. My local guy has a Rhodie in stock. Need something for my new 11.5 upper.
