SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[thinhorn_AK]

I don’t know what coatings they use. So ignore my jargon.

Initially there was a consistent tan color can for the first 6 or so months that I saw in store(a couple stores and photos,not a ton of data), the can I received was/is get dark almost not coated/treated in blast chamber then baffles change to the tan. 4 months later I see in store ones that are very dark throughout, more of a raw heat treated titanium no treat/coating.

I am basing off new. Mine hasn’t changed colors. I do weld often but not titanium. It’s not a heat deal it’s something with their coatings and I did get concerned when I started seeing changes. Then noticed the two tone… newer don’t seem to be blowing apart and the initial cans don’t either. I’ll send mine to someone with a 16” 300 to see but I know with my calibers it shouldn’t fail. The a-10 ss can won’t I guarantee with how many rounds I’ve put through it, and it’s newer I just like the weight and sound on that gun. A longer I might ponder the new OG

That’s interesting, when I go upstairs I’ll pull the cover off mine and see if I can tell if there’s a two tone thing going on. I havnt noticed it in the past.

If suppressors are removed from NFA regulations, I'll be looking to buy a used scythe. I've got a 223 it should be able to handle

Depending on price and what happens to market availability/pricing, id take another for cheap as well. If someone wants to sell me a scythe for $400, i'd probably take it.

Same here I'd take 2 more at 400$

Mine has about 800rnds on it now.

Few hundred rounds of 22” 6.5prc and all good so far. After reading this thread slightly worried bout my hunting buddy who setup a 20” 7prc with a scythe after shooting his bull with my rifle last year. He has yet to get out and shoot it.

Well, this is the response I got. Mine has never had more than a round or two a minute put through it, and usually it was allowed to cool enough to touch between firings, so heat definitely is not the issue.

That's so ridiculous. The same exact response several other (including me) have received. I even referenced this thread and told them that no one here is attaching it to an AR and misusing it. They had no response to that other than "I can't speak to those failures because I have no knowledge of them" or something to that effect

Push right back at them, if you have not already.

I know if my can fails I'm going to absolutely raise hell with them and seek legal recourse, especially if they try to fuggin gaslight me.

I have only ever used my Scythe on a bolt action and have never exceeded 3 rounds per minute (I have only fired ~25 rounds through it so far), but don’t recall seeing a 10-round per minute limitation when I purchased my Scythe.

@Billy Goat

Can we get an character of rokslide action figure for the Silencerco customer reps?

Pull cord to hear it say "user abuse", "mag dumps", "well under 1%"

Accessories include blown up suppressor and jump to conclusion mat.

If yours fails, and they fix it, what would be your legal recourse? A judge won't make them tell you what you want to hear.
Most corporate legal departments that write that stuff don't know what went wrong, and don't care.

The legal recourse would have to be for an injury (whether physical, financial, emotional, etc.) suffered from as a result of the failure. And potentially there could be damages caused by the loss of use of the device.

The response letter does not read as if it was written by corporate legal. It reads as if it was written by some sales jackass who isn’t very good at customer service and doesn’t understand tort or products liability law. It’s fundamentally an infuriating attempt to reassure the consumer. No [good] lawyer would write such a thing.

Yeah I’m not sure. But they are asking for trouble by giving that response to people who’s suppressor has blown apart 2 ft in front of their face and not acknowledging the risk, which is greater than what should be considered normal for a failure rate of such an item.

If it can be proven they knew of an issue causing blow ups and intentionally... suppressed it.... and somebody gets hurt as a result then I'd imagine there could be some liability.

I’d argue that element is already there. Clearly a failure rate and denial of a problem. Negligence on their part would be tough to prove but folks are letting them know of the problem.

Yes some things can have a 1% failure rate. But not things like these or guns, or airplanes, or items that failure could result in death more quickly than a normal item.

“it’s well under 1%”

I’ve been hitting the mountains the last ~ 5 days to work on shooting positions, angles and all that stuff to hit rocks out to ~ 600 yards with my 6.5 creedmoor.

I got the scythe so hot today that it melted my ls Wild cover to the silencer. I’m sort of trying to make it fail but so far it hasn’t.


@B_Reynolds_AK dont laugh at me bro lol!!! I was just trying to be like you.

Who did the shoulder work on that barrel? Is it a Tikka barrel?
