Do you guys have a dedicated can for each of your rifle hosts? Or do you move some of your cans from host to host?
I ask because I just my 2nd Scar 17 and I have a Sandman S in jail right now. I can't afford another at the moment, but I like the idea of a can for each rifle.
What do you guys do?

My $0.02-- for my tactical / "black rifle" suppressors, I decided to
standardize
early on. After surveying what seemed to have the most choices available, I
went with the 51T mount system from AAC. While there's a lot of discussion on this mount
out there (not the point of this post), I'll just say that I've been plenty satisfied with
this choice overall.
So, I'll illustrate why I like this approach... say I'm shooting 5.56 rifle (or MG) "X"
- Want quiet? = M4-2000 or Saker 5.56
- Want small & light? = Mini-4
- Want lower gas/back-pressure? = SDN-6 or Saker 7.62
When I started out in NFA stuff (# rifles >> # suppressors), the point of "plug & play" like this was to
have the ability to shoot most things I owned suppressed, with minimal fuss in
the field (range). Now, although I have enough suppressors to dedicate one to just about every
rifle I shoot frequently, it's still convenient to pick the combo I want for any given day.
Also, as implied in another post, you may not want to tie down a suppressor on a rifle you just don't
shoot that much; in my case, this would include my P90 SBR... as it stands, I can just throw the
Mini-4 on it when I want to take it out.
One thing I have not done yet, is dedicate a direct-thread suppressor to a tactical rifle (cut out
the weight of the mount). but I've just purchased an Omega, and I might try this down the
road (*could also do this with the Saker).
YMMV.
