Silencerco Scythe TI review

[Tod osier]

I don't have a Scythe but a Ranger with non-removable brake. I was thinking of stretching a condom (non-lubricated) over it for debris and snow.

If careful, the cut off thumb of a nitrile glove can stretch a lot.

I've always wondered what sort of weirdos buy unlubricated ones, I guess its guys messing with guns and stuff.

After all of the Scythe issues (I own one), I have been strongly considering another suppressor. I've got my eye on two, one if an Unknown once they come out with one that fits over a carbon barrel and the other is from Stealth Additive works out of Idaho. It is 3d printed, takes hub compatible mounts, 7-8oz, and will have screw off front caps.

It's out now, check the thread for the link.

If you're talking about the Unknown OG suppressor, that is for the OG that will not fit over the carbon barrel. They said that will be coming based on sales from the first OG batch.

Ah my bad, I assumed you were referring to the OG and probably should have read the post instead of skimming it. Carry on.

Nomad Ti XC is one folks are liking too that is printed.

Stealth Additive works is in the same town as me and I have shot his suppressors. His models out now are more geared for gas guns, and they are awesome for that. He is working on a bolt gun version now as you probably know that should be a sweet option. Owner is a crazy smart engineer with a serious understanding of how gas flows.

I got a peek at the bolt gun option and am very interested. Their current ones are more like flow through designs but they seem to perform great compared to some other flow throughs. It looks like he could be designing a scythe killer that is quieter and 3d printed.

I had my scythe fail last week. 16 inch .308. Factory superformance 168 grain. 14th round, shooting 5 shot groups with cool down between. My scythe has never been mounted on a magnum. Just my .308.

Silencerco sent me a label, on its long journey south from AK. I asked them to explain any findings (thin welds, etc) and explain the fix. Obviously hard to trust it going forward. Makes me rethink light cans in general. Might just go 100 steel on my next one. Light is nice, till the front half blows off and flies 60 yards down range. No baffle strike either.

14 rounds total, or just the string? If latter, how many rounds do you estimate overall?

I pulled one of mine off to try the OG but I have another one on my 22-250. I'm waiting for it to go.

In the other thread he said 800-1200 rounds total.

About 800-1200 rounds through it. Sorry should have clarified.

Mine exploded after ~500 300wm rounds

Facts:
-I thankfully was not injured
-3150fps on average
-175LRX
-22" steel barrel
-mostly strings of 3 never more than 5

Seems like it should have performed better. Ill take it to my LGS and report back with the findings

Serial #? Your failure is a bit further down the baffle stack than most. Send it in to silencerco.

I just read the thread with the survey and documented it. Thanks for linking.
I had no idea that this is a well documented issue
Ill send it in but Im rather annoyed by this. This has decreased my confidence in the product.
As a point of interest I had noticed a small decrease in accuracy (~1/2 moa) leading up to the failure. I had been thinking it was weather based or poor performance by me but now Im curious if this was an issue in the device that was effecting it.
