[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1930381, member: 90397"] My experience has been different. I have had no issues swapping back and for between AR platforms. For me the Ultra 7 with a CB brake has returned to POI after remounting the suppressor. Also the favored loads for each rifle have not had any more noticeable change in ballistics than I tend to see with my unsuppressed bolt guns over time. I'm using SLA gas blocks on the 6.8 SPC & .224 Valkyrie and each rifle has its own CB brake that doesn't get removed. Granted, I don't swap the uppers around on the lowers much because the buffer springs differ and I don't mess with the adjustable gas block settings very often. I'm not disagreeing that others may have had a different experience. I do think that doing the load development for each platform with the suppressor installed is probably a good practice rather than developing the load without the suppressor and expecting similar performance after the suppressor is installed. My only real complaint about running the ARs suppressed is the additional fouling that occurs but even that tends to vary for me depending on the powder and platform. My Valkyrie with CFE 223 is terrible for fouling, to the point that the SLA adjustable gas block on it is noticeably stiffer to turn than the others. [/QUOTE]
