Silencerco Scythe TI review

[Marbles]

OCL is doing their 1/2x28 hub DT for 30 bucks until they run out of them. Titanium.

$&@* I was supposed to be done buying things, but that is too good to pass up.

Anyone have a weight on the competition (sico ti 1/2 28")?
*and thanks!

OCL says 0.9 oz on theirs. My 5/8-24 direct thread that came with my Scythe is right at an ounce. So, 3-4 grams difference.

That’s a great deal. Too bad they don’t have those in 5/8.

I agree. They are trying to move the 1/2x28’s. No idea why. They post random sales on their instagram. This was the latest.

New flush mount from OCL arrived today. A comparison of the internal volume difference.

I picked up my Scythe TI a few weeks ago and have about 30 rounds through it. I'm loving it so far and recoil reduction is noticeable. I'm considering a Scythe STM for more versatility and figured that could be a good candidate for the recoilxbrake

I've put probably 300 rounds through a Scythe-Ti with the recoilX brake. It works great. Big difference VS the included brake cap, and the anchor brake. Fair bit louder thou. It's perfect for a match rifle.

I dunno if it's my eyes or what but I swear the one on the right has a much wider outer diameter. I guess the thinner walls may be tricking me but I can't make it the same.

Any thoughts on comparison vs Nomad XC with a recoilX? Similar but louder?

Yeah, it certainly looks that way in the picture, but the one on the right threaded on perfectly, so just the picture.

I promised a shooting buddy I would do this and finally got around to it.

The factory provided end cap doesnt sound much different than the accessory product end cap with a 556 sized hole.

The recoil pulse on the 556 end cap is floppy and pushes the barrel around in an arc.

The recoil pulse on the factory end cap feels straight back.

I put the factory cap back on the second suppressor and perceive no compelling reason for anyone considering this mod to purchase an alternate cap.

My observations were made with hot 22-250 reloads fired thru a 19" barrel.

Good info. Any observed POI shift with and w/o the cap?

I shot steel at 300 yards and its quite windy but I can't observe any notable difference.

How do you like those covers? I just ordered one because the other one I have is pretty heavy and bulky

OK.

Better than the Armageddon Gear covers I have as well.

The AB Raptor is tight has a tick in them. The Scythe is loose at least until the oil burns off.

Mine is for a scythe so I plan to use the bulky one at the range but the weka on hunts

Use just enough oil on the can to get it sleeved in there.

I over did it on the first one and just did a little shot of rem oil on the end for the one I was messing with today.

The rem oil will bond to the scythe, then create additional welding thus keeping them from blowing off at the 2nd baffle lol

I think it will blow anyway...but the coat of oil will make it easier to slip the pieces into the return shipping envelope addressed to the warranty department.

Did you pick that up to reduce the pressure hitting the start of the can, thus theoretically making it less likely to fail?

I've wondered the same. Plus I like the wrench flats too
