SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

Mine was in the 19,000 range

So definitely a more recent production. Maybe why the failure was further down the stack? Supposedly there are two grades of Ti for the baffles. Would be interesting to know where the change occurs and if that’s where they fail.
 
Put 7-8 different make/models of cans through a stress eval today…. Guess which can was the only one to have structural failure?

Looking forward to reading it, but I bet I know the punchline already…

Still struggling to reconcile all the failures in this thread failures with people like @Ryan Avery who have done everything possible to make their can blow up without success. Seems like there’s just no margin for error on the welds and for those that get a bad weld, it’s only a matter of time regardless of caliber.

If a person chose to do their own “stress eval” and their scythe (or other can) survived, would that provide any reassurance?

I’ve tried to make mine fail and havn’t been able to. That dosent mean it won’t but I’ve gotten it hot enough to melt a cover to it and nothing happened.

No. There is no safety margin with the scythe.
