SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Jbehredt]

If guys could post bare suppressor weights when they get them back I’d be grateful. My bare can, no adapter/end cap weighed 6.42 oz new. Would be nice to see them coming back heavier ergo thicker eventually. Wishful thinking I suppose.

Checking to see if the poll can be put back on, nit sure what happened????

I was wondering if SiCo had their lawyers send a strongly worded letter about statistical significance and improper sampling or some such thing.

The way around that is to note that it is a convenience sample and thus highly prone to sampling bias and extreme caution must be used when extrapolating the sample results to the population. (All of which is true).

Or, perhaps it was just a glitch when the thread was moved to the new suppressor section.

Sounds like Ryan took it down Friday, so we're getting clarification. ^ Very possible as evidently this thread is frequently linked.

The failures (and double failures) are still annotated within the thread, but obviously tougher to pull that information out w/ no poll.

For clarification, when the thread got moved into the suppressor subforum it lost the poll. Was this just a yes or no poll?

No, iirc it asked if you had no failure, 1 failure, 2nd failure and 3rd failure. I know there were a couple that failed again after being repaired, can't recall if anyone had a 3rd failure.

 

[mtwarden]

I think it was no failure, one failure, two failures, three failures.

You had the option of changing your vote as well.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong

Was this the title? SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

 

[mtwarden]

I believe so (or very, very close)

 

[Ryan Avery]

When I moved the thread, the poll didn't transfer.

I dug up this picture from July.

 

[packgoatguy]

If it helps, when I added my 'yes' vote on Friday, I believe there were around 33 to 35 yes votes iirc.

 

[Harvey_NW]

Unfortunate, but kinda funny. Saw a Scythe on a 300 Norma build with UM tagged in the post and commented.



Then received this message-

Well I guess when it comes time for needing a new scythe, I know to screw it on my 22in 300 norma imp and let it fly!

I might be surprised however, this particular Scythe-Ti has actually held up pretty well, around 400 rounds of 25/65 prc, 250ish 6cm, and prob 500+ 6gt through it.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

I spoke with SilencerCo customer service yesterday. They informed me that the authorized rate of fire for the Scythe is 10 rounds per minute. They also asserted this was listed in the specs and/or information sheet. Needless to say, I did not see it there.

This is correct

I edited the thread to add the poll back in. It means everyone voting again

I added my vote back, but I’m sure the numbers will end up off from the original by a good bit.

I seem to recall my last view of the poll showed failures at about 13% and somewhere around 250 reporting no failure.

 

[bradb]

It was right at 15% when it went down

 

[mtwarden]

@Jskaanland is going to check with the tech folks, thinks they will have a backup.
