SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

I'm not sure what they would give for a "newly rebuilt one."

What are they giving for brand new if you get a replacement

Ask them?

Yes I’ll weigh it. I’m not sure it’s fixable, it got dented up as it was rock skipping lol. But for $200, I’d just keep it and leave it on one of my 22-250s, probably the slow twist that’s pushing less pressure and call it good enough. Then the worst case is a failure while prairie dog or coyote hunting

You might see if they will swap it out for a scythe STM as I think they were doing that for some guys a while back. Probably better to resale. At least you wouldn’t have to worry as much about it blowing up on whoever you sale it to.

This definitely crossed my mind as an option, not the it’s a can I necessarily want.

Yeah mine didn’t blow up while I had it. I sold it to a buddy and told him it would more than likely blow up on him but he didn’t care because silencerco would fix it ha ha

Has there been any reports of the stm failing? I wouldn’t think so, since steel welds much better than ti. To me, and my limited knowledge of metallurgy and exotic metal welding,this looked like a form of stress cracking, likely from improper/inadequate pwht. I wouldn’t expect that in steel without some kind of chemical corrosion mechanism. Complete swag theory though

Your stm you were concerned with or just the ti?

Just the TI. I haven’t seen any reports of the STM coming apart.

Thanks, I may try to barter for an stm

Just remember that will require a new tax stamp. The cost of that tax stamp is obviously no big deal, but how much does your local shop charge for that application process? That might affect your desire to swap to the STM.

Regarding your banged up broken suppressor, SiCo will just replace the baffle end with new parts. They only need to keep the original serial number area to stay within ATF compliance.

That wouldn’t bother me, but that makes sense, it’ll likely just find a home on a 22-250 or .223

How would the atf know if SiCo disposed of the old can and made a whole new can with the same serial #?

Just asking because I highly suspect that’s the case on a lot of these.

I’m sure they wouldn’t, until they did. And then as a big company whose whole existence is NFA, they might find themselves no longer in business.

I think it’s easy enough for them to cut out the first baffle weld and put in a whole new baffle stack, which would allow for updating any weaknesses in the welds and staying within the limits of NFA
