SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[AZ_Hunter]

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.

You’re reading it right.

Yep, I read the same. It looked like they are performing an investigation, so I would assume the scope of the class action lawsuit isn't fully defined and hasn't been filed.

I would think they'd be happy to include any model from SilencerCo with a high failure rate, but I didn't enter my information on their website.

Awesome. Suing people is cool.

Lawyers suck. They reference the “scythe” failure thread but don’t include it in the suit (I’m sure it’s in there or could be easily added). Just funny.

I’m personally glad someone is doing something. Although as previously said I’m not a fan of lawsuits…..this one is worthy IMO.

It is strange that they mention this thread, but only name SiCo models that are already under recall.

Totally agreed. I am not a fan of ambulance chasers, but I’m also not a fan of a company refusing to take accountability for releasing a poorly vetted product capable of harming the buyers to protect their bottom line and shareholders.

It’s not too late for SilencerCo to come back from this but they need to take accountability and offer a resolution for scythe owners.

Gunwerks had a similar issue on their Ti suppressors, issued a recall, coordinated a repair/replacement plan with the ATF, and made right by their customers.

23k suppressors and counting is a few to deal with..

Don’t be big if you can’t handle being big.

The cost of a recall or their risk of someone having a serious injury from a scythe blowing apart aren’t going down as they continue to make and sell more of them with the same problem.

I’m sure there are some executives and legal folks at SiCo weighing the risks and probability between the costs of a recall vs a liability lawsuit.

SiCo did $111M in revenue last year. A $5-10M recall would be a very painful learning experience for them but wouldn’t bankrupt them.
