I don’t want to buy a bunch of suppressors. I currently have two. I have a Huxwrx 556 flow and want to move it between 3 different AR’s. Or at least 2 of them. Is that a problem? Or should I just plan on buying more suppressors?

I haven’t had any problems using suppressors on multiple hosts. As long as the muzzle device and adapter are compatible, there are no issues. If you have a Huxwrx Flow 556, you just need to have a Huxwrx FH or muzzle brake on any host you want to use the can on.

I have one I move between three rifles. All have the same adapter and muzzle device.

I ALWAYS check with an alignment rod when I exchange them, though.

I only check them the first time I swap. If I don’t change the muzzle device or adapter, it isn’t going to change.

This. Checking the alignment each time you mount it is completely unnecessary.

I'm going to vote against that in some specific circumstances. First it takes like 10 seconds, so you will be really mad if you had an issue. Second especially on 3 lug I have seen some mounts that sometimes need another try at mounting to get centered.
The worst offender is the B&T SQD but I've seen it on others like the DA 3lug.
I've never had a problem on things like the surefire system I use most often and xeno if that matters in the discussion.

I started out like many folks, with a budget and an idea of testing the waters, got the one can for everything an Omega .300 and a dedicated.22 can.

Suppressors turned out to be as much fun as I hoped and the collection grew to a dedicated 5.56 can, and then a 9mm can. At that point I was satisfied for a bit having one dedicated can for every platform. If suppressors had been outlawed or the budget dried up, I could have been comfortable and left things alone at that level.

That lasted a little while, stamps went to zero, I got the itch again. Moving a hot suppressor between rifles is certainly doable but it's a little bit of a pain, and have now ordered a 2nd 5.56 can. I expect I'll get a 2nd 9mm can that's designed more around PCC later this year.

I have a muti caliber segmented can. You for sure must check that you haven't misaligned a baffle adapter after a swap.
