SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Tahoe1305]

A no for me , but my brother had one come apart last wekend. Probably only 2-300 rounds fired. Looked the one in the picture. Must be a weld issue on some.

You should log that yes in the poll for him if you can. Get the cartridge and length. iMO still good data. (If still include your no for the stats too fwiw)

 

[Axlrod]

Had mine 9 months good so far.
80 rounds 20" 25 PRC
100 rounds 26" 30 Nos.
180 rounds 26" 300 WM
447 rounds 20" 6-7 PRC
600 rounds 16" 223

 

[Tdonat]

Yes.
2,000+ rounds 22” 6.5 creed
110-ish rounds 18” 7 Saum.
As soon as I get it back it’s going back on the saum to see if it will separate again.

 

[Bluefish]

Could we add where failure occurred? The photos posted suggest failures are around the 2nd baffle. Maybe a serial number to get an idea if it’s happening within a certain production range.

 

[WKR]

No
400 rounds
25 CM

 

[Dust Rider]

None yet on two Scythes.
17” .223’s
18” .243
16.5” 6.5cm
20” .308

 

[thinhorn_AK]

No

125 rounds 6.5 creedmoor 21”
125 rounds 308 18”
100 rounds 30-06 18”

As soon as my tikka 6.5 comes back from kampfeld with an 18” barrel, this will live on that rifle.

 

[THellURider]

No, but only ~100-150 rounds of 7PRC on a 22" Proof.

 

[CCooper]

No- But only 200'ish rounds of 7PRC+P on a 20" barrel with a case full of N-570

 

[wind gypsy]

No

700 rds through 18" 6 creed
150 rds through 24" 6.5 creed

 

[mt100gr.]

Bumping this up.

The Scythe was on my short list. Keep the experiences coming!

 

[T_Widdy]

Mine is still shooting, no clue on round count, has mainly been on a 22” 25-7 prc. Black silencer shop model.

 

[BAKPAKR]

1. Cartridge: .300 PRC (approximately 3,000 rounds of 6.5 CM and .308 Win, 200 7mm PRC)
2. Barrel Length: 20 inches
3. Factory Ammo
4: Ammo: Hornady Precision Hunter 212-grain ELD-X
5. Weld failure at second weld from rear. Front end of can separated and flew 50 yards down range. No baffle or endcap strikes, bullet impact was consistent with rest of the group. Failure occured after 15 rounds of .300 PRC.

Is there any data about a timeframe when the cans that have failed were made? I’m wondering if there happened to be a change in manufacturing, batch of material, etc that maybe correlates to failure?

Edit: sorry, didn’t mean to directly respond to your post with my response.

What does the repair look like? Just rewelded?

No worries. I don’t know if there’s a correlation. Mine was number 44, so very early.

Not a Scythe, but I had a Harvester do the same thing to me this spring. I have a scythe too so it’s a little scary seeing the same failure. BTW my Harvester was not with the recall serial range.

Posting this to both active Scythe Ti threads for anyone following.

Was watching the how-to video in anticipation of mine arriving once approved. At the 00:50 mark, he says, “The Scythe TI doesn’t have any barrel restrictions Within Reason, but if you put this on an 8” 300RUM, you’re probably not going to have a good day”.

I think it would be really helpful if they’d define what is considered “within reason” in light of the multiple weld failures with short barreled magnums.

Mine will be on an 18” 6.5Creedmore so I’m not too concerned but I feel bad for others who have had unexpected issues.
