Enhance your AR-15 with the versatile ESF End Plate.
The AR-15 End Plate with 3-QD Sling Swivel Sockets from Forward Controls Design is engineered to provide exceptional functionality without compromising on design. Crafted from durable Billet 4140 steel, this end plate offers both strength and reliability.
Key Features:
- Designed for AR-15 platforms
- 3 Quick Detach (QD) sling swivel sockets
- Available in DLC Black or FDE Cerakote finishes
- Side and rear facing sockets for versatile sling attachment
- Compatible with stackable castle nuts, allowing full collapse of the carbine stock
As part of FCD's commitment to functional design, the ESF's shape is tailored to its intended use. The slight increase in width on the sides and small openings on the top of the socket housing are designed to accommodate the rear-facing socket while ensuring the structural integrity of the product. These features may go unnoticed by users, yet they highlight the complexity involved in creating a seemingly simple product.
Important Note: When using end plates with side-facing QD swivel sockets, be aware that they can obscure the available wrench notches required for proper torquing. A conventional castle nut wrench typically has 3 lugs; however, the socket housing may partially block access to one of them. To correctly torque the castle nut, a 2-lug castle nut wrench, such as the AR Multitasker or our JCW (Joint Castle nut Wrench), is recommended. Additionally, please note that ESF's receiver extension indexing tab may fit tightly on some receiver extensions.
