SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[thinhorn_AK]

I must have missed it in these 83 pages, did yours ever come apart?

No, never did and I tried to make it happen.

Did this suppressor ever see any other calibers besides 308? What barrel length?

The 308 is 18”. It had also been back and forth on an 18” .223 and an 18” .260 REM. No magnums.

Thanks for the details, I’m sorry to hear that.

That’s gotta be at least 10 in this thread that have failed on non-magnums with 18+ inch barrels.

Mine has about 700 rounds through it.
Probably 600 from a 26” 6CM and 100 from a 18” 6CM.
It may get tested on a fast 7-08 soon to see if it stays together.
No failures so far and it works better than I thought it would.

Mines gotta be north of 3k rounds now and still in 1 piece. Mainly 6.5cm. I might have given it the kiss of death tho. A few weeks ago, I cleaned the crap out of it. Great sounding and functioning can if it stays together. Clearly a design or weld issue tho.

I ordered my first suppressor and the Sythe TI was in my top 3 until i found this thread.
Sure glad I did before ordering and don’t have to deal with that headache or worry

It’s seems your story is the minority, but every buyer this thread can help is worth it.

I just got my Scythe back from SCO. Gotta give them credit for backing their guarantee and fast turnaround.

We’re going to tempt fate and use our scythe’s for an NRL match next weekend. Gonna keep my harvester evo on standby just in case.

Buddy of mine (retired) came back to town this weekend and called me to talk about suppressors. He wanted to go to the local SOT and buy one, but he's only getting one so he wanted the best of the best. I told him it doesn't quite work like that, they might not have the best in stock, and those douchebags will just try to sell you on a Scythe which is likely to grenade on your 7mm Rem Mag. Sent him some links to highly regarded cans and said I'd be more than willing to help facilitate with a SS dealer closer to home.

Swung by my place to chat and did exactly what I told him not to

NOBODY LISTENS TO JASON! Is what I call that. They know I know what I’m talking about but refuse to listen.

That is quite unfortunate. I have a couple very similar stories, except they haven’t (yet) purchased the Scythe. I think that’s mostly due to apathy as they still haven’t purchased their first suppressor.

It won’t hurt my feelings, I have found it is best to provide opinion for the various options and pros and cons. What they decide to do with that information is up to them. It’s the same process I have grown through, and sometimes we just have to learn the hard way

Enraging, except (see next comment).

The satisfaction of hearing "Well, I shoulda listened to ya"
