Enhance Your AR-15 with the ESF End Plate
The AR-15 END PLATE W/ 3-QD SLING SWIVEL SOCKETS from FORWARD CONTROLS DESIGN is a robust and functional addition to your firearm.
Product Features:
- End Plate Sling Adapter: Specifically designed for ARs.
- Socket Orientation: Features side and rear facing sockets for versatile sling attachment.
- Material: Constructed from high-quality Billet 4140 steel.
- Finishes: Available in DLC Black or FDE Cerakote finishes.
As per FCD's design philosophy, the ESF's shape is tailored to its functionality. The rear facing socket is designed to accommodate stakable castle nuts while allowing the carbine stock to fully collapse. This results in a slight increase in width on the sides and small openings on the top of the socket housing, which do not compromise the structural integrity of the ESF and often go unnoticed by users.
Note: End plates with side facing QD swivel sockets may obstruct access to wrench notches needed for torquing. A conventional castle nut wrench typically has 3 lugs; however, the socket housing may partially block access to one of them. A 2 lug castle nut wrench, such as the AR Multitasker or our JCW (Joint Castle nut Wrench), is recommended for proper torque application. Additionally, be aware that ESF's receiver extension indexing tab may fit tightly on some receiver extensions.
