This FM Products FM-45 AR .45 Rear Charging Upper Receiver as well as most FM products require the use of a buffer assembly. However, FM Products has just released a newly designed upper chambered in .223 Wylde that does not require the use of a buffer assembly due to the redesigned recoil system. That upper can be found by using the link below:

The FM Products FM-45 AR .45 Rear Charging Upper Reciever barrel is threaded for 5/8x24 so you could remove the blast diffuser and mount a suppressor. However, the handguard will protrude over the threads and the inner diameter of the handguard is 1.3".

The internal diameter of the FM Products FM-45 AR .45 Rear Charging Upper Reciever handguard is 1.3". So the AAC Ti Rant 45M will not fit the FM Products FM-45 AR .45 Rear Charging Upper Reciever.
