SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Nine Banger]

My guess is the company knows the majority of their customers are hunters and shoot less than a few boxes of factory ammo a year. They are willing to repair or replace defective cans for the smaller portion of their customers who are enthusiasts and shoot year round. It’s cheaper to repair/replace vs total recall. The question is, can someone really get hurt if a can fails at the weld? So far I’m seeing it goes down range and the worse I’ve seen is a sharp increase in recoil. Maybe Silencerco doesn’t believe anyone will get seriously injured from a failure.

Look back, one is torn...

I’ve been eyeing this can from a company out of South Dakota. It’s titanium, light and comes with a brake and flat cap. Seth Swerzek with Hornady was highlighting one on the Hornady podcast on one of his rifle builds. They have a K version that is 4” and 7 oz.

Mack bros is the manufacturer of the entire banish line of suppressors. They have been the OEM for others too. Another example is GAP has/had a light can called the jaeger made by Mack bros.

Ahhh good info thanks. My Banish Backcountry has been reliable so that’s good sign.

Anyone have any weird welds? Look at where this (second from bottom in center of pic) weld "narrows" and peaks. Should i call sico?

They would just tell you it's user error

Sico baffle stacks have always looked like middle school welding projects.

I really wish we could just return the can and get our money back. I bought a Scythe right out the gate. Now it sits in a box because I don’t want to risk it coming apart with one of my kids behind the rifle. Once I get my own .223 set up, it will probably life on there.

I really want a 10 inch 300 RUM, see how many times I can make SiCo fix the can.

Diabolical, I love it. Please proceed

I mean they still don’t call out any barrel restrictions and claim it’s rated for bolt action and semi auto fire…. Seems like someone just needs to keep blowing one up.

Yep, it would be best to get a group of 10+ people in the same area. See if you can make them warranty 5 cans every week. Film all shots to prove no aggressive firing schedule and use only factory ammunition.

These welded cans are automatically being rotated. The welds start at one point and end when a full rotation is made. It looks like this one rotated a bit further than a full revolution and the welding continued over the start point. It could be a few other things, but from the picture, this is what it looks like. If this is the case, the question is "why?".

Mine came apart today. 300-400 rounds through it I think, all factory loaded 6.5 creedmoor. Always let it cool after 3 rounds. No extra recoil. Really sucks.

What's your barrel length?

 

[Rifleman86]

Anyone have over 1000 rounds on one that failed? I’m curious if this seems to be design flaw where all cans will eventually fail or a defect thing where some cans fail and some don’t, and it will generally manifest within a certain number of rounds.

 

[waspocrew]

I'm slapping mine on my 22-250 AI for the time being. *Should* hopefully hold up to that, although someone had posted a failure on a 22 Creed recently.

18"

My Sig Cross 6.5 CM is the same. Thought I'd be safe on that one, but I guess not!

Damn it! I am thinking @hereinaz 's cover us the only thing holding mine together. I shoot way longer strings than that and have never intentionally let mine cool. I gotta be in the 2k ish rounds range on mine. @Ryan Avery has yours blown up yet or did you just quit shooting it all together?
