The same suppressor is used on 5 different rifles:
9" 300 BLK AR-15 (AAC Flash Hider)
16" 300 BLK AR-15 (AAC Flash Hider)
16" 300 BLK Handi-Rifle (AAC Flash Hider)
12" 6.5 Grendel AR-15 (AAC Muzzle Brake)
22" 6.5 Creedmoor (AAC Muzzle Brake)
Right. Particularly with direct threading, the POI should remain very stable between installs, but should also with good QD mounts. My guess is that a 1" difference Sticks is seeing (which I assume is at 100 or 200 yards, but he didn't stipulate) is more of a function of changing environmental conditions between the previous time it was on the gun and the current time when he noticed the difference.

thanks.
ANYTIME you add a suppressor to the end of a barrel of a rifle, expect there to be a POI change from not having a suppressor on the barrel. Usually, the POI change will be downward, sometimes a bit left as well, less often it seems, a bit right. Strangely, I have seen a couple of cases on YT where the POI goes up, but that seems to be the exception. Maybe you get lucky and it doesn't change, but that seems rare as well.
Barrel harmonics will undoubtedly be affected by adding a suppressor. This may be beneficial, neutral, or problematic. You may find that your sweet spot cherished load for that rifle needs tweeking after you add a suppressor, but that once tweeked, you are golden.
Keep in mind that just like each barrel is unique and the ammo that shoots out of one gun doesn't always perform exactly the same way when shot for an exact duplicate of that gun, each barrel/suppressor combo is unique.
