AR-15/M16 SLING ADAPTER END PLATE Reviews & Ratings

Machined steel replacement for the factory receiver plate gives an AR fitted with an M4-type collapsible buttstock a convenient, low-profile attachment point for clip-on, single-point slings. Precision machined from 1018 carbon steel for superior strength and an exact fit, with a durable manganese phosphate Parkerized finish that resists surface abrasion and corrosion, and matches the finish on mil-spec anodized receivers. Available in single-loop Right-Hand (RH) as well as a convenient, versatile Ambidextrous configuration that lets you swap the sling from one side of the receiver to the other. An adapter that is designated as a right hand (RH) adapter is for right handed shooters and will be mounted on the left side of the gun.

SPECS: 1018 steel, Parkerized, matte black finish. Fits AR-15/M16/M4 and clones fitted with M4-style collapsible buttstock.

Poor fit for a mil-spec Armalite tube

I tried to fit this end plate on the mil-spec tube that came with my Armalite rifle, but it would not fit over the threads.

Cheap for a reason

Cheap steel. the single point sling i have dug into the steel of the end plate easily no matter how it was configured. Don't buy, you will just have to buy another one.

Not Good is too high of a rating

I installed 150 of these on our departments rifles. Within 45 days the slings had wore through the sling mount and we had rifles falling to the floor. 1018 steel is too weak. Do not buy this product.
