Silencerco called me today and where very good. They said they didn’t need the threaded adapter so I removed it and here is what I saw. Sure looks like the first baffle broke loose on previous shot. The rep even mentioned this was a possibility...... See pic...

Would you do me a favor and measure the distance from the back end to the first baffle/blast shield.
When they returned mine the first baffle was deeper inset to my eye. I hadn’t measured prior to shipping. When I questioned SiCo about it they said that the old and new were the same but it sure looked different.
I am calling Monday. ~4 weeks ago they confirmed it arrived and was in the warranty department. They did mention it may take a little longer as the dent repair would require a refinish.

Dave, to answer the question about checking concentricity without tearing it down, my lathe has a 2" spindle bore and a naked 700 fits through it easily. I have a chuck that is made to be able to dial those in.....so yes it can be done, but not every lathe can do it.
I'd wonder if there got to be enough fouling to give the bullet a yaw situation.

Bullets often tilt, called yaw, about their axis of revolution upon immediately exiting the barrel. Later in flight they come to "rest" spinning perfectly about their axis as they travel. Clearance for bullet yaw should have been a design consideration taken into account by the suppressor manufacturer
