SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[ScienceNerd]

I don’t think anyone is saying the rates in this thread are statistically significant for all scythes. But what we are saying is there’s a big problem and they aren’t admitting it.

Even if it’s 1% thats too many for something that is safety related like this. And it being a can it sucks to pay a stamp wait (luckily not as long) and do the paperwork to get one and have it blow up. It’s awesome they are fixing them, but still disappointing they are acting like nothings wrong.

Exactly, I plan is to change nothing and continue with my 3rd "new" Scythe and see if I get a 3rd failure. My broken can is supposed to get to them tomorrow, I will update here when they get back to me to confirm they are supplying me a replacement/repaired can.

Wow that’s nuts. I saw a “creedmoor” powered 22” yesterday that failed….that one surprises me. That’s not a high powered magnum round. I think the first I’ve seen here.

By law, they can only repair it and the SN section has to be intact. The can't just make a new one with the same SN. If the SN section is trashed, you have to do a new stamp and wait with the replacement can.

I received my suppressor before finding this thread. Today I inspected the anchor break and found a bur/blemish inside the bullet channel (not sure if that’s what it’s called). Should this be something to be concerned about, especially shooting 30cal? Has anyone seen this before? It’s new and unfired.

Personally I’d say no.

Anyone using the Scythe extensively on the 30-06? I don’t see it mentioned much (at all?) in the failure reports. Just wondering if that’s because it’s below the magnum threshold or simply a lack of usage data. (I know the ‘06 is totally uncool these days…)

I’m in the camp of ‘bought the damn thing about a week before the failure reports started rolling in. Too late now!’ Also bought a Mathews Lift right before widespread limb failures began. So I’ll take the blame for this one boys!

I almost bought the Scythe back in December. But, rightly or wrongly, I decided the reports of failures on 6.5 PRC suggested to me a chopped 30-06 was at risk. I went with a Banish Backcountry instead, which I'm sure is uncool and doesn't pass some Rokslide standard. (I guess that makes it an appropriate fit for the old war horse). That can just came in yesterday, so I haven't got to shoot it yet.

I'm still interested in how the Scythe is fairing overall and on the 30-06 in particular as I think it's about the perfect hunting can on paper. The ATF approved me in 3 business days, which makes me think I will likely buy another hunting-focused can at some point since the process has gotten A LOT shorter than it was seveal years ago.

Nothing wrong with backcountry and/or rokslide. Many just don’t like dealing with silencer central. I’d have one if I could get one at an outside dealer for sure.

Just got my 2nd scythe approved today. First one has like 1500rds through it, mostly 6.5 and 7PRC hand loads not going slow. No issues thus far thank God.

Hit it with some Xtra fine sand paper

In my opinion I would say it doesn't matter. No reports of failures in that area, looks cosmetic to me and it likely won't be there after a few rounds.

it actually shipped out the same day as my broken one arrived.

15 minutes in the sonic cleaner, 5-10 minutes in the lathe, 5-10 minutes in the orbital welder then whatever time it takes to bake on the oil coating and done. I can totally see it turned around in a day if they have their process down.

I received my "repaired" Scythe Ti back in 4 days, it actually shipped out the same day as my broken one arrived. I imagine it is a fully new suppressor with the same serial number, even though that isn't "allowed".

I also sent them my reloading data and they said it is within the design spec of the supressor on my 22in, 300 prc. Time will tell I guess!

I believe part of the quick turn around is they don’t have to log it in? I assume it’s like a firearm at an ffl and if it’s not overnight then the amount of paperwork is different.

How often are people really experiencing injuries from these failures? I’ve personally heard of one very credible instance but I assume/ hoped it was a one off situation.

I experienced no injury during my two failures.

Saw the xray and bruises of a guys broken collar bone from a Sico Omega failure from bout 20 months ago. Created a whole hell a lot of recoil he said!

This makes me wish I had gotten another AB Raptor. My Scythe is holding up, but so for only light use on a 16.5 inch 223 Tikka, so no real test.

At this point I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best.





As a side, this pole is what's know as a convenience sample, which has all sorts of problems when it comes to drawing conclusions about the population or whole.

A random sample would mean you knew every Scythe owner on RS and randomly asked a certain number and only that number. Your response rate would effect the validity, if only half your random sample provids data, you probably have some self selection going on (not to mention the sample bias from only drawing from RS Scythe owners).

SiCo has data for every Scythe made. So not a sample any longer. Now, honesty about that data is another topic.

People have yes. I’m not going to share others stories.

I don’t want anything on my rifles blowing up. Regardless how good the customer service is.

People need to stop publicly insinuating that a company is violating the law, or that they are in possession of an illegally produced suppressor. That's a bad look for all of us who have jumped through the hoops to do it within the confines of our absurd laws.
