First day and first message and already kicked in the nuts, welcome to RokslideWell. Fun. I just picked one of these up the other day for a 6.5 cm and a 7PRC I’m putting together.

Worst partSilencerco's nonresponse to this issue does not inspire any confidence.
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.
Worst part
SilencerCo has said they're selling over a thousand Scythes per month and seeing a failure rate of less than 1% and that they're not concerned about it. All signs point to them repairing that less than 1% quickly and without any headache for the owner. Not sure what they'd address.
I think the can came out in like September of 2023. So assuming their numbers are accurate, which we have no reason not to, we're talking like 20,000 of them in the wild and SilencerCo has seen less than 200 of them come in for warranty.
They used to say if you commute by car your entire life you have a 1% chance of dying in a car accident...nobody's biking to work in case their 1% ticket gets pulled today. Failures suck, and I'm not saying they're acceptable or justifying it in any way, but I don't know that I'd let this thread influence my buying decision at this point.
FWIW I'm hoping to start my wait on either a Scythe or a Nomad TI XC soon and I'm back and forth about a can with known failures that is likely to get repaired quickly and easily versus a can from a company that has a terrible CS track record.
