SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[ThreeOhSeven]

Several folks have posted on this thread they’ve made trades with their scythe—not sure how it works????

SilencerCo gave me the option to trade for the Scythe STM. But due to my failures proximity to hunting seasons I chose to repair.

Capitol armory will buy them for 4-600 dollars, or you can just do a form 4 online and sell it yourself at this point.

My problem with selling mine directly to a buyer was A) my understanding it had to be in state and B) my conscience knowing what will likely happen at some point to a person I know and sold it to.

I went the Capital Armory route, which hasn’t exactly been painless. I’m at least a month and a half into the process with no credit.

Yes I saw that in their email, said it would take 4-6 weeks. For what? The form 4 shouldn’t take too long, a few days in the mail, then once they receive it you should get paid.

What’s taking them so long?

Their responsiveness via email was very good until I accepted their offer. Since then, getting each response has required multiple days and multiple emails repeating the original message.

Unfortunately, their service on the phone has been even less useful. I can’t even get them to look up my transaction information, so I’m stuck with emailing them.

That’s disappointing- I was considering trading my Scythe for credit towards a Reaper.

That sucks, I’m glad I didn’t go that route with mine.

I was between the Reaper and the OG65, but since they just got the 6S, I think I’ll go that way.

To close this loop, I finally got my credit. It wasn’t fast or painless, but it was best for me and my conscience. It just so happens I bought the scythe from CA, so selling it back to them seems fitting.

Literally just shot a NRL hunter match with 6.5 cm scythe combo and then decided to throw the can on the ol 257 wby and my scythe decided to fail. No baffle strike complete weld failure. Had probably 550 rounds through it before it packed its bags. Had to change my vote

 

[cmaxed]

Took a face full of carbon from my Scythe blowing in half today. Less than 750 rounds through it. Never found the front portion and the mangled mess is the cover.

 

[BradArnett]

Anyone else following this thread that have a higher round count though theirs? Mine will be just shy of 2000 rounds after yesterday and today's shooting.

Im at 2600 on mine. The last 600 rnds were all on an 16" .223.

Got my repaired Scythe back. The only original part was the first section with the serial number. Obvious color change for the new sections and the welds look like a F'in monkey did them. I don't know why anyone would buy a Scythe, or support, SilencerCo anymore.

Time to sell it…

8.7 oz clean.

 

[DSB]

1. 6.5 PRC approximately 300 rounds and
7PRC approximately 200 rounds

2.Seekins Element 22" 7prc
Springfield Waypoint 2020 24" 6.5 prc

3 All factory ammo.

4. Mostly 143 grain Norma Bondsrike in 6.5 prc. A mix between 160 gr Norma Bonstrike and 160 grain Barnes LRX in the 7prc.

5. Blew the front of the suppressor 35 yards down range on the 3rd shot of the 4th 3 round group. Cooled the barrel with a fan after each 3 shot group.

I just got a box of Barnes 170 gr TTSX to try and the failure happened on the third round of this ammo.

Mangled the coletac suppressor cover.

 

[Tullis94]

Lol. Just when this thread seemed to be slowing down we get a bunch of new failures!

I'm planning to get all my suppressor that are individual or single shot trusts into 1 trust. Except the scythe. Im just leaving it as individual. I won't let anyone else shoot it anyway! If/when it comes apart ill probably try to sell the fixed can.

They must have @huntnful in there doing the weld repairs.

My thoughts exactly. I’m very glad I’m not in the scythe game any more. Trade them in to Capitol armory while you can!
