Silencerco Scythe TI review

[eltaco]

I bought rockset but have been fine lately after tightening the piss out of everything so haven’t yet used it.

Rocksett - Silencer Shop

This is the stuff you need when installing your fast-attach muzzle devices. Small applicator holds enough for a couple of mounts. Degrease and two drops'll do ya. At the time of use, if your tube of Rocksett has begun to harden, place tube in a cup of wa

Nice assist! Just ordered up the $3 tube.

Just so I’m clear… someone above said water soluble. That’s nice for tear down as needed, but this stuff will also break down if it gets rained on, I suppose. Anybody experience that?

Thanks guys

i have had good luck with just a tube clamp and a socket for the thread adapters, but since everything I have is now 5/8 threaded, will probably go ahead and hit them with a drop or two of rockset as well.

Silencer Co has in the scythe manual they recommend using rocksett on the direct mount and the brake or end cap.

I need one of these! If anyone knows of any sales, please post them up. I hesitated a few months ago and byu the time I checked back, they were gone! Iirc they were in the $800's on sale.

It's been so long since I first ordered this that I don't remember if I knew the answer to this question or not - is this designed so that if when I forget to take it off before shooting, that it won't mess up my shot?

There’s so much pressure ahead of that round that I can’t imagine it staying on. But if the bullet does make a hole through it, that could be an issue for the same reasons a damaged crown often is. (Perturbation of trailing edge vortices)

No it will need to be soaked. I have always had to soak for 24 hours. With just a dab you maybe able to break loose by hand but probably not. If you put too much on you will have to soak for days and it will be a real bear to get apart. In this case more isnt better.

I bought mine this weekend. Hopefully it’s ready before deer season.

Rokset doesn't necessarily need a long soak, it needs hot water. Put the supressor in a pot of boiling or simmering water, 2-3 minutes, it'll break. I had a muzzle brake that the smith used a decent amount of rokset and I could NOT get it off in a vice, I was like wtf. So called him, he told me put the muzzle in boiling water short period of time, broke easily after that.

I removed a cb brake installed by tbac this spring easily with a heat gun.

Getting a factory brake off my LWRC took boiling in a pot 4 times and a 24 hr soak and still needed a action wrench and a 2' cheater bar to get the damn thing off.

That's ridiculous!

You know what they say - don’t force it… just hit it with a bigger hammer
