SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Axlrod]

SilencerCo originally stated, marketed, pushed, no barrel length restrictions. Then it became within reason as stated in that video by SilencerCo. As recently as a couple minutes ago they are still publishing no barrel length restrictions.

They blow on short ones and they blow on long ones- no restrictions!

Either way as long as it's in the same state, it's just a Form 4 transfer facilitated by an SOT.

Why would a SOT be involved in a private party transfer?

How did you sell yours? To a private party, a dealer,…?

Private party to a fellow state resident. He’s a buddy I know personally so that makes things a little easier.

The Scythe can get transferred via eforms. Unfortunately the Saker was pre-eforms and thus doesn’t have a control number, so it has to get transferred on a paper form 4.

Thanks. Can it be done without utilizing an SOT? I would assume an SOT will charge handsomely to be involved in the process, so it would be nice to avoid that if possible.

I’ve wondered if the $0 stamp will open doors for the used can market.

Between residents of the same state, there is no need for a SOT.

As long as you are both residents of the same state no need to involve a SOT.

You DO however still need to complete the form 4 obviously, and then wait for that to be approved prior to actually handing over the silencer.

Apparently I was misinformed. So you can just log into the ATF website and submit a Form-4 for a used suppressor without physically verifying anything?

It would be cool if dealers did trade in programs.

If your current form 4 has a control number, you can do this via eforms.

If not (likely for older, pre-eforms cans) then you have to submit a paper form 4.

National gun trusts.com has great walk through guides with all of this.

I'm surprised someone hasn't created a niche biz where all they do is receive used suppressors and resell them.

Maybe it's coming.

I'd dump a couple obsolete cans or trade if it was easy.

I am a statistic now.
Skyth came apart at the weld.

1. 7mm PRC with 200 rounds down the barrel and suppressor

2. 22in Carbon

3. Hand Loads was doing ladder work on N-568 and was well under max load.

4. Hornady brass, 180gr ELDM pushing 2700fps at the time of failure.

5. Second round of the day,

 

[TheCougar]

I've still got two and they are still in one piece. Shoot 7mm, 6.5CM, and 223 through them. I don't keep track of the round count, but I would guess at this point each can has 800 rounds through it. Split is probably 10/30/60 for the 7mm/6.5/223. I love the cans, and I hope they don't blow. I sure as hell am never buying another SiCo can, regardless of what happens.

 

[just.mark]

I just filed for the RMA. It clearly looks like a weld failure. I love this supressor and am hopefull they just warranty it so i can get back to shooting with it. I told them my issue is that my suppressor identifies as a 3-inch suppressor...

SO.... I have skimmed through most of the 78 pages on this topic and have seen all the comments about them blowing and not being able to trust them. Question for everyone that has had one of these. I have stopped at two different dealers that stock them. I have out right asked about them blowing up and bot have told me the early runs did have some issues and that it has been resolved and that most of it was user error...

Now I trust Rokslide people would never abuse anything.... (Uhhhhemmm "droptest") but I have to feel there isn't much user error in a suppressor. This really checked all the boxes and I was so excited for it to be my first suppressor. Now I'm not thinking so. I don't want it letting loose with my daughters at the helm.

I have looked into the reaper and seems like a better can but I don't have a dealer anywhere near me for it and the shops around here want $200 to do a transfer if not purchased by them.

So did they fix the issue without saying anything? Has anyone bought one recently and had it explode or are all these old stock ones that were hearing about?

I would not buy a scythe and wouldn’t believe that they have fixed them. Buy a reaper from capital armory and they will ship it straight to you once it’s approved. Another good option you might be able to find local is nomad ti xc.

No, they never fixed the issue and they sit on a throne of lies.

Capitol armory is your friend in regard to a reaper…. Easier than sincencershop

 

[WW2 Buff]

User error? Funny for anyone to say that. I probably had 150 factory rounds total thru mine, 270 win and 30-06. Crazy thing is I killed a Boone and Crockett elk with the Scythe on my 270, next time at the range 2nd shot it blew up with 7mm PRC 22in barrrel. Knowing its history I babied the can allowing 2-3 minutes between shots to cool. They sent it back repaired with zero paperwork. Too many options out there go in another direction with your purchase.

 

[AZ Gator]

It’s definitely not a problem limited to early production models. I’m pretty sure there are multiple examples in this thread (though maybe it was the old thread that has vanished) of folks with destroyed Scythes that were recent production.
