Silencerco Scythe TI review

[dreadi]

When I say penalty, all I mean is that it is more than the alternative option.
If I remember correctly the nomad XC is 1.5 ounces heavier. I did a comparison in this thread.

Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

Edit 10/15/24 I have one here on a form 3 and will be testing it head to head against a scythe ti. Will also compare it to a DD Enticer Lti even though its not a direct comparison like the scythe. If any of you have specific questions or testing you want to see, let me know.

Gotcha. That's helpful. Thank you.

OOS here - local Scheels sold their last one on Friday. Said they have 40 more on order, not sure when they expect them to arrive.

They were completely out of TBAC as well with no ETA for current orders.

You mean suppressed! I'm going to have to report you to the PC police now.

I blew my Scythe up in September on a 20-inch 300 PRC. I'd had approximately 3,000 rounds of 6.5CM and .308 on it and it lasted 15 shots on the .300. They got it back to me within a week and still one of my favorite cans, but I won't be shooting it on any short barreled mags anytime soon. I'm excited to see how this Dead Air Nomad Ti XC does. So far, so good, and with the SiCo Ti direct thread HUB mount, it's only 1/10 ounce heavier than the Scythe

Were these weights taken with both suppressors clean? If so, that's pretty cool the ti xc is only 0.1 heavier. The results of that one in the 2024 suppressor summit are really impressive.

Not perfectly clean but very low round count on both. This was after the scythe was rebuilt, so two brand new cans basically.

Agree, SiCo needs to say something. Anyone researching the scythe will undoubtedly see Rokslide pop and probably find this thread or the failure thread since “failure” is in the title.

Many times not saying anything is worse. Who knows though, maybe they are researching the failures and aren’t sure on what’s going on yet, idk. What I do know is there are/were people wanting to pull the trigger on a scythe but are now looking elsewhere or waiting, I’m one of them.

Seeing these failures and no acknowledgement from manufacturer of being out of spec or a known manufacturing issue has me steering clear. A suppressor is such an investment due to ATF that I am unwilling to sacrifice a couple ounces of its unreliable.

Anyone happen to have a weight on the si co brand ti flush end cap (and hole caliber)? I have the weight of the hanson bros cap (18grams, .223), but they are out of stock, and I don't want to get scalped by si co for well over $100, especially if it's a heavier cap.

Are u sure those weights are for the front cap? I think those are the rear end cap/ direct thread weights.

They're on the forum somewhere, a long with the 223 aperture diameter. I just can't remember what thread. The same info is also available for hansohn in the same thread.

I love my Hansohn Bros titanium front cap but couldn’t stand the bright mirror finish it came with….

Apparently if you soak it for an hour in boiling water and powdered Oxi Clean it knocks the shine down to a black/bronze finish. Happy camper.

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.

Has anyone tried 6.5mm through the SiCo 556 End Cap? If it’s truly 0.323 then for a 0.264 bullet you’d have approximately 0.03 of clearance all the way around.

From doing some reading, it seems most suppressors have a bore that is 0.06-0.08 larger than the projectile recommended, so shooting a 6.5mm (0.264) bullet would theoretically be okay.

Not sure I want to be the first to try it, but also would much prefer to 223 end cap over the 30 cal end cap if I could use it with my 6.5cm.

I was just looking at that the other day and plan to do so with my 6.5 CM. Won’t be for a few weeks, but I’ll update with the results.

Thank you, that’s encouraging that I’m not crazy to consider it. I have a scythe arriving in 2-3 weeks and want to get an end cap for it. Right now the biggest caliber I plan to use it for is 6.5 so I’m tempted to go with the Si-Co 223 cap rather than a 30 cal cap. I’ll also post updates on here if I give it a try, though it wouldn’t be til at least February.

To not sound completely crazy for considering this, the 223 SiCo end cap has a larger diameter than the AB Raptor 6.5mm end cap.

There seems to be a halt in the report of failures, did SiCo ever address a reason to any customers, or?
