Description

An AR comparison of the very AR-sensitive Hoodoo Chain weave.

.078" (1.98mm) aluminum
7/32" (5.56mm), 29/128" (5.75mm), 15/64" (5.95mm) mandrels
.239" (6.07mm), .249" (6.32mm), .257" (6.53mm) ID
AR of 3.1, AR of 3.2, AR of 3.3

These chains flex a little bit more than what's shown, since they relax slightly when laying down on a surface.
The weave starts to inhibit undesirable behaviour starting at around an AR of 3.3: the outward leaning rings seem like they want to fold back too far.
3.1 - 3.2 ideal AR for general mailling purposes.
