Silencerco Scythe TI review

[B_Reynolds_AK]

I just got in the .223 Ti end cap from SilencerCo to run on my Scythe. This is a standard cap with no brake.
This is a picture showing the clearance of a 6mm 112 Match Burner with the 223 cap.
Send it or no? haha

Edit to add actual measurements: ID of the 223 End Cap is .323, so a 243 projectile has .080 clearance.

From what I've found online, .04 to .06 is generally recommended, so I'd say this should be plenty.

For reference: The AB Raptor 6.5mm end cap is .300 ID.

Looking forward to hearing what kind of difference it makes.

Logically, I think there wouldn't be any issue with it at all. However, it would make me feel really uneasy pulling that trigger if it were mine. I'd probably close my eyes and send it

So I just measured my AB Raptor 6.5mm end cap. It is exactly .300 ID, so the SiCo 223 cap at .323 is actually larger than the dedicated 6.5 one.

It seems like the only thing you have left to do is send it. I’m curious how much of a difference it would make as well.

How does your alignment look with a .223 rod and this cap on a .223 and the 243 cap with a 243 rod?

 

[waspocrew]

I think it looks fine. Especially if you have an alignment rod showing everything is even.

I don’t own any bore diameter rods. Could stick a cleaning rod through, but that’s not going to be very precise. The AB Raptor with that 6.5 (.300) works fine on this PVA barrel.

Wow. That's good to know. I wonder what the orifice size is on the hansohn end cap that is 6 or 6.5, whichever one it is that they quit selling

 

[B_Reynolds_AK]

Yep I’m going to send it. If the packaging didn’t say .223, and I was going off of ID clearance specs, I’d have no issue using it.

I’ll report back after doing some side by side comparisons with the standard 30 cal braked cap.

Out of curiosity, someone should measure a Hansohn cap that they’ve been using on a Scythe. Also the ID of a Wolfhunter would be interesting to know.

Wolf hunter is .280”

What's the weight of your silencerco 223 Ti cap?

Hansohn .30 cal cap is .375. Anyone who is playing with cans is doing themselves a disservice by not having rods in the pertinent calibers, it is a critical diagnostic tool.

No wonder it sounds so good on .243 calibers.

The ID of the Hansohn 5.56 end cap compatible with the Scythe-Ti is .306
