SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[thinhorn_AK]

Had a failure with the Scythe Ti this afternoon. Took my son out to let him shoot the 7PRC and the first shot related in the failed. He was scoped pretty good and we had to glue him up. If I could get a refund or have the $$ put towards another suppressor type I would but it sounds like that won’t be an option.


1. Customer 7 PRC 120 rounds down the barrel.

2. Barrel length: 22”

3. 180 grain Hornady ELDM hand loads

4. Loaded 2 grains under max load recs

5. Details of failure: Split at 3rd weld from rear of silencer

Tell them your kid got hurt and they need to make it right.

Yikes, I’m sorry to see your son got scoped, that looks painful. I grew up shooting a 270 and had a similar experience when I was 14. Made me recoil shy for life and I’m still working through it.

That said, glad he’s okay and his eye didn’t get injured!

I hate lawsuits, but frankly this is the “closest” I’ve been to wanting to be a part of one. The platform here would help that process. You have a semi-legit reason now….get it rolling, we will all jump on!

I sadly wish I was kidding.

I had no clue this failure was even an issue until I started doing some research last night and came across Rokslide and a few other sites. I can’t wait to call them tomorrow.

I’ve used mine since march, and I’ve used it on 6 and 22 Creedmoor, 22GT, and tried it on subsonic bolt action 300 blackout. It’s not my primary or secondary can bc I mostly night hunt coyotes and want the quietest can for that (AB raptor 10 in .22 bore with a 5” reflex or diligent defense LTi both of which I use on my primary 2 rifles in 20” barrel 22 Creedmoor for hunting).

I have 0 doubt, that will be a permanent scar. It likely won't be big, but you will be able to see it. I know they are in litigation for other supressor malfunctions. If you have some $ and want them to squirm, I'd have a lawyer write them a letter..

Same weld failure as mine.

Paying attention to weight on the end of a rifle is important.

I think the Ultra 7 is a bit outdated these days. It’s longer, heavier, and louder than many newer alternatives.

TBAC U7 gen2 was the standard for a long time, tech has passed it up a bit now, but still a good supressor.

Add mine to the ever growing list . I have around 1000 ish rounds down mine with majority of those being 22 and 6 creed with 22 and 24 barrels . Recently started shooting a 20” 6.5/7 prc and I’m at 250 ish rounds with it. I’ve always shot 3-5 shot strings and would take the can and cool down with a Milwaukee battery fan. Can blew on the 6.5/7 on the 4th firing today. I emailed and been trying to call CS for almost 2 hours with no luck so far.

Seems we're pretty solidly into more than 1 Scythe failure per week now on this thread..

A while back there was a list of cartridges associated with failures. Anyone have that up to date? Still seems to be overwhelmingly magnums but there was a 308 not too far back.

For those dealing with Silencer CO, are they fixing the failed suppressors or sending a whole new one with the original serial #?

Also, has anyone gotten reimbursed for their can cover that was blown to shreds?

 

[AZ Gator]

A new can would require a new stamp. They are fixing.

I have heard of them sending a new cover, but don’t know details as that didn’t apply to me.

 

[Foster_65]

Pretty sure mine was a new can with same serial number. They used my end caps and dt adaptor the the rest of the can had zero evidence of carbon. They did send me one of their suppressor covers with the fixed can.

The S2H podcast from yesterday has some CRAZY failure rate stats for the Scythe Ti. They said one store had 20/100 of the Scythes they sold blow up.

The uncorking pressure thing is very interesting too.

I’d be curious to see if there is any correlation between direct threaded vs asr mounted failure rates

 

[AZ_Hunter]

If my son got hurt I would lawyer up. There’s enough public information out there that there is a potential safety hazard with these blowing apart.

 

[JGRaider]

SiCo is treading on thin ice IMO. One bad incident and they'll be a distant memory. It's a boneheaded position to take.

Well they've blamed user error for the cans blowing up so far so they'll just blame bad shooting fundamentals for anyone that got hurt. Its a bad look imho, this isn't an anomaly at this point.

Just imagine if a rifle manufacturer had actions or barrels blow apart and tried to downplay it.

Just had this pop up in a google search about Scythe failures. It looks like a law group is compiling a class action suit. They reference this thread on their website.

Am I misreading or does that not list the scythe as being part of the lawsuit? I just see the hybrid 46, harvester, and omega.
