Failure on Resilient Simple Man Suppressor

[kkp005]

Got a Simple man can a few weeks ago. Just got around to shooting it today.. it’s not my first 30 cal can, I’ve got 3 YHM resonators and a DD enticer Sti so I’m not a suppressor newbie . Lol

Screwed the simple man on a 18” tikka 22-250 and shot a 1/2” 3 shot group with it . POI was pretty close to what the DD enticer had done.. The tikka has a 5/8-24 thread adapter on it.

Screwed the Simple man on a 22” 270win. I’ve shot this gun multiple times in the past with the Enticer and had 0 issues.

Settled in, squeeeeeezed the trigger … KaaaaBooooom… Recoil felt like I’d just shot an unbraked 375… Thought man that’s not right and looked at the end of the gun to see where it had broke at the first weld where the baffles start. Looked for about 15 minutes down range and finally found the other 3/4 of the can in the grass about 35 yards away . Walked up to the target and was surprised to see I hit it .

I emailed Resilent and within 20 minutes they had an overnight return label emailed to me… Failures happen and with the luck I typically have , I’m not surprised it happened to me .
I’m impressed with the quick feedback and hopefully I can get the can back soon.

Bummer! That's cool they're quick to fix it... somehow I have faith this is a more rare failure than in the Scythe world.

Inb4 a giant thread of Resilient failures!

Adding... glad you're ok. The weld failures really have me thinking of adjusting my interest to the 3d printed titanium world. I know they're not immune from failure, but in my non-expert brain I imagine less weak spots like welds.

Welcome to the club, we had our hybrid46 come apart when my brother was shooting his 300 win mag. Now the hybrid is a tubed design so instead of the pressure letting off when the weld failed the tube contained it like a grenade launcher and launched that 12 oz projectile 75 yards down range where it skipped and hit the target backer.

This in turn produced a recoil force that nearly knocked my 6’3”, 300 pound brother off the shooting bench and gave him several stitches above his right eye. Assuming 400 fps based on the 75 yard impact that comes out to about 200+ ft/lbs of recoil.

He was less than jazzed about it as you can imagine but at least when his Nomad Ti came apart a couple years later on a different 300 Win Mag the can was much lighter so the recoil was much milder.

I’m not sure how many ft/lbs of recoil my simple man produced getting launched …. But it was damn sure more than I’ve ever experienced

I was looking at that can, but the small blast chamber made me not consider it. I have the same suspicions with the Scythe regarding why they are blowing apart, I’ve posted about that before. I have built many suppressors and learned this lesson a long time ago.

Issue is exacerbated with a tubeless design.

Received my suppressor back. A little less than 2 week turn around. Shot it on a 308 without issue. Resilient also offered me a heck of a discount on any suppressor from them for the trouble.
Issues happen but they handled it well. Will update if anything crazy happens to the new one

The multiple failures on lightweight Ti mufflers has me thinking I will not chase ounces in that department again. I already have an over priced 223 can with the Scythe.

Was your failure on a Jolene S ? I used their coupon from my Simple man failure to buy one. No issues yet. Mainly shot on a 243 and 308.
How many rounds and what were u shooting ?

 

[JJ.]

Jolene s. Couple hundred rounds on bolt action 223, Then 4 rounds on a 25 PRC WITH 24” bbl.

The hunting industry does not actually test their products before the consumer buys them, by and large. Very, very few companies even understand what “testing” actually means. What you are seeing with Scythe, the cans above, and another can posted about recently is the result of companies not doing what they should be doing before releasing a product. The maximum cartridge and minimum barrel length restrictions are just made up nonsense- they haven’t don’t in-depth testing to determine where the safe limit is, with a built in safety margin.

There are a couple companies however that actually do test correctly.

Unknown suppressors does some solid testing.

 

[JJ.]

I was hoping you’d say that. Reaper in the works

AB and Unknown Suppressors for starters. TBAC does as well.

The Reaper went 99 rounds of 20” 300 PRC as fast as can be loaded and shot with no structural damage at all to the suppressor. (99 rounds because one round was missing). The aluminum is end cap (sacrificial) bowed and released at somewhere around 90 rounds IIRC. It also had 90 rounds of 5.56mm from a 10.5” barrel fired near cyclic through it with structural zero damage.

I have a Scythe and am starting to think this way too. I have kept it mostly on a 6arc but also on an 18 inch 308. Starting to wonder if the weight benefit is really worth it over my stainless cans from YHM. They are tanks and not that much heavier at 10 and 15 oz.
