SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

It’s crazy. I shot mine so much it melted the LS wild cover to the silencer and it hasn’t blown up. At this point I just be pushing a few thousand rounds through it. I guess it could blow up at any minute.

Unfortunately the relatively few failures are more meaningful than the products that work. “I didn’t wear a seatbelt on the commute and nothing bad happened” doesn’t mean much. Ask the guy in a bad car crash whether seatbelts are good.

To me it looks like they have a high failure rate, probably from a high rate of manufacturing defects.

Maybe that melted LS Wild cover is holding it together.

Absolutely, and I don’t trust the silencer. It just seems odd to me that so many blow up when they are relatively new and when I’ve tried to make mine blow up, nothing happens.

Again, not defending the product or the company. Like you said though, when people have a bad experience they talk about it all over the place. When people have a good experience they don’t talk about it as much. I know several people with scythes who love them, I have no idea how much they are shooting or what they are shooting them on though and I don’t really sit around with those people and talk about the scythe in general.

I'm starting to think you took a torch to that cover. There is no way your can got that hot and hasn't blown up yet.

Joking, I have never adhered to a firing schedule with mine. It's bound to blow up sooner or later. It's been hot, thats for sure. Hell, 15 rds and it's pretty damn hot.

Yeah that day I packed a few hundred rounds with me and hiked up a mountain where I had gongs set across the canyon on another mountain. I was all dialed in so just shooting. The only time I stopped was just to load more magazines. I forget how many rounds I shot but it was a lot. There’s still crap melted all over that scythe that I can’t get off, I can’t even feel it with my finger nail, it’s like part of the silencer now.
