SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[AZ Gator]

Welcome to the forum.

My recommendation would be to shoot the can like you want and within the parameters of the manufacturers limitations. If you have other suppressors you can use in its place, then relegate it to lesser cartridges. Otherwise, use it as it was intended and rest easy knowing at least their warranty service is legit.

Thanks much and that is the plan. I was hoping for one lightweight multi-caliber Ti suppressor and will use the Scythe only to develop a suppressed load for the .300 and the hunting only. Mostly it will be for shooting/hunting with the less powerful cartridges.

I may need to un-retire to afford multiple suppressors!

Mine is well over a thousand rounds, still won't blow up. I continue to shoot it as I do all my other cans. I say shoot it as you intended to and rock on. As of right now, you have a 90% chance, it doesn't blow up according to this thread. If it does, you get the honor of changing your vote to "yes"

Just picked up a scythe-Ti SN 332xx. Weight without the direct thread mount is 7.478 oz and with the mount is 8.465oz. Weighed before firing and on after confirming scale accuracy.

I did a full video on this with pics of both failures along with weights and explanations.

Would appear they’re still selling. That’s 11k serial #s since I got mine last Christmas. I was wondering since they’ve been in stock and now have free stamps on SS.

Got it from SS with the free tax stamp. Submitted on friday July 11 and approved Monday July 14.

Interesting, that’s 0.2 oz heavier than advertised and is spot on with @cliffy109 updates in his video after they repaired his.

Maybe something has changed in Manufacturing at SiCo?

Edit - Fixed the weight to be 0.2 oz

Interesting, that’s 2 oz heavier than advertised and is spot on with @cliffy109 updates in his video after they repaired his.

Isn't the Scythe claimed to be 7.3 ounces bare?

 

[ztc92]

Yes exactly, and in the video as well as in the post above they both found it was 7.5 oz bare.

Edit - just read my post again, I misspoke when I said “2 oz heavier” and I meant to say “0.2 oz heavier”. Good catch! I’ve fixed my original post.

Mine failed last week. 300 WM, 178 gr EDLX, 70 gr custom load, avg vel 2920 fps, 22” barrel. I don’t have an exact count but it was about 150 rounds through the suppressor. My typical shooting session is 40 rounds over a 2 hour period. It is a carbon fiber barrel and I have a jacket on the can, so not sure how much additional heat that adds to the can. Like other folks on this chat the customer service has been great. They are even replacing my Core TAC corset jacket with one of theirs.

April 25 purchase date is not overly reassuring that a “fix” has been made

That's got to be a record for most pieces.

And a 17 way tie for lowest post count.
