Am I good with my desired end plate, buffer tube, castle nut... then a bit of C5-A on threads @35-40 ft-lbs? Then stake end plate properly.
Yes, no, better way?

I wouldn't use a copper based compound between 2 pieces of aluminum but what do I know.
OK, thanks, I found some AeroShell 33MS and I meant 40 in/lbs. I'll go that route. I never have understood the whole situation with the copper content. So I will stick with that on the barrel nut and use AeroShell on the castle nut.
The copper in Loctite C5-A is not as worrisome as the graphite that it also contains. I would use the AeroShell 33MS instead. Though Iraqgunz uses C5-A and has had no problems with it.
The 40 +/- 2 in-lbs was a typo, the correct torque spec is 38-42 ft-lbs.

To reiterate;
Torque is 38-42 FOOT POUNDS for the castle nut.

I have been using Loctite C5-A for the better part of decade. I use it on my personal guns, and have over occasion pull them apart and swapped stuff around. I have yet to see it cause any issues at all.

I thought you weren't supposed to use Loctite on any of it.
