Have you shot a .223 silencer on an AR/M16 type firearm, the gas blowback from the ejection port is killer if you shoot left handed, most right handed people are ok with it.

I always run a 30 cal silencer on my .223 semi autos cause as a lefty they choke me out.

If I was building it, I would use the MagPlul MOE buttstock 11,5" barrel with a latching QD type silencer.

If you are going to use a thread on silencer, you can use a Nord Lock washer to keep it tight, but will need a glove to routinely check that hot silencer that it has not shook loose on the threads while shooting fast.
