Fortis LE AR-15 Endplate System - K2 Black

Since the AR is such a modular platform of rifles, many enthusiasts have taken to buying totally stripped lower receivers and populating them themselves. One point where that can get a little iffy is in the end plate and castle nut. These vitally important parts hold the buffer tube and stock onto the end of the receiver, ensuring reliable and safe function. Without them, there’s not a lot stopping the buffer, spring, and tube from merrily carrying on into the wild blue yonder after a round is fired, so it’s important to get this right.

The Fortis Lightweight Enhanced AR-15 Endplate System Version K2 In Black does just that. This system is basically a redesign of the end plate, castle nut, and a means of locking them together. Traditionally, you’re highly encourage to go through a process called staking, where you peen over a small lip of the end plate onto the castle nut in order to keep everything together. This greatly simplifies matters by making use of a C-clip. The clip installs into a groove at the bottom of the end plate, and their castle nut is cut out to accept that clip. So, the clip locks the two together in a nicely done fashion. The whole thing is also made out of aluminum, so you know it will last a long time. In a nice additional touch, the end plate has as quick detach sling swivel mount so you can use a one point sling if you like. Overall the Fortis Lightweight Enhanced AR-15 Endplate System Version K2 In Black is a great and convenient way to solve one of the more persistent and dangerous parts of building your own AR with a slick package and great design.
