What would be the purpose? Just mount a scope and you're good.

I'm no expert for sure on ballistics or warfare. I do know that ballistics have been known for decades and decades. If you want a gun that will do such and such it can be made with no problem. But no gun will be great in every situation. Take the .223, with a scope it will extend the users accuracy but not extend the bullets accurate range. The longer barrel would. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

My thinking was that the extension would be exactly lined up rifling wise when put on with marks on both pieces to insure that. Or some other way I haven't a clue about.

Longer barrels only aid in velocity which is miniscule and sight radius with iron sights.

The .223 already has a velocity of 2700 feet per second.

You wouldn't gain a thing with a clumsy attachment.
