SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Q_Sertorius]

The SilencerCo problems also aren’t limited to the Scythe Ti. They have failures with all their welded suppressors. I am not saying they are the only company with suppressor failures, but it’s not like this was limited to one model or one early bad run.

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

This is the answer. Capital Armory shows both DA Nomad Ti XC and UK Reaper currently in stock. They’ll ship straight to your door so cut out the local FFL who wants to screw you. Absolutely no need or advantage in rolling the dice with a SiCo Scythe.

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?

If you don't want to use Capital and have to use SS just get the Nomad XC and call it good. You won't be disappointed.

Won’t that require him paying his local dealer $200 for the transfer? That’s why Capital Armory makes way more sense.

Chances are he's got a dealer with a SS kiosk nearby, damn near everybody does. Wasn't sure his reasoning, some people just feel more comfortable with SS or some already have a dealer with a kiosk and know they can do it free.

1,379rds, all 6.5CM

Lived mostly on a 22in but just blew up on a 26in barrel.

Used handloads but kept my loads sane.

Damn, another one bites the dust without a single magnum round on it…

No. Silencer Shop has them in stock and if he ordered on from them or went to a dealer that purchases from Silencer Shop, he won't be paying a transfer fee.

He made it sound like his FFL is going to charge him $200 if he buys it from anyone other than him. SilencerShop would be someone other I'd think, but I don't know.

If his published location is correct, there's at least five silence shop dealers in his area and most likely other that don't use silencer shop. So, all those silencer shop dealers have access to whatever is in the inventory plus whatever they get elsewhere.

Also if his location is correct, published NFA transfer price is $50.

Shot my new stainless steel scythe today. I really really like it. Noticeably quieter than the ti, and while I didn't notice a reduction in recoil, I did notice that I barely got off target when I had a really solid position to shoot from. Its definitely heavier than the titanium of course, but it feels like a reasonable trade off for what I think I gained. I used to think that I wanted a super light weight rifle but I'm kind of over that now. Rather have something that shoots well. The rifle is just over ten pounds now.

It's been almost a month since I posted about the on hand quantity of available Scythe Ti at one distributor. Today, they have over 2,500 Scythe Ti in stock. It's just short of $2,000,000 for one item they are holding. They have more of them than any other silencer in their inventory.

Capital Armory gave me a $500 credit for my scythe. Traded in for OG 6.5

That’s a deal! How did this transaction work, if you don’t mind my asking?

 

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

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

If its crossing state lines for the sale a SOT is required.

 

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

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.

The users shot more than a box of ammo a year through them versus letting them be safe queens... "ABUSE" lol.

You left out the context of what I was replying to. It wasn't crossing state lines.

Apologies I thought you were discussing the person who sold (who hadn't yet confirmed it was same state) and not the other reply which was talking about the same state and your reply didn't include the in state part explicitly so I glossed over it.

Very easy, see below for full process. They did everything, all I did was sign a couple docusign links and drop off the suppressor in a UPS drop box..

- submitted my information and photos via their 'trade in offer' tool
- they emailed me an offer a couple days later, along with a Docusign link to sign to accept the offer
- they sent me a second Docusign, linked to a NFA private party transfer form that was fully populated by them. All I had to do was confirm serial number, my personal information, and sign
- They sent me a prepaid shipping label the same day
- I threw the suppressor in an amazon box I had laying around and dropped it off at the UPS drop box down the street
- a couple weeks later, and once the NFA transfer was approved, I had a $500 store credit credited to my Capital Armory account
- purchased OG 6.5 in stock with that credit

(edit to add some detail for y'all interested)

So easy... submitted my information and photos via their 'trade in offer' tool. They emailed me an offer a couple days later... I accepted... They sent me a docusign.... Signed it.... They sent me a prepaid shipping label.... I boxed it up and dropped it off at UPS.... They credited my online profile $500 store credit about two weeks later once the NFA transfer cleared

Interesting, you'd think the AFT would have to approve the transfer to them before shipping it to them.

FFL can acquire firearms anywhere at any time. However, in this case you're also correct that with the intent to acquire is not for gunsmithing or service work, normally it would require an approved Form 4 before the transfer takes place.
