Precision machined from 4140 carbon steel for extra strength, with extra metal on the attachment loop, so no matter how hard you pull or twist the sling, this adapter won’t break. Right Hand (RH) model has the loop on the left side to accommodate right-handed shooters; Left Hand (LH) model has the loop on the right for left-handed shooters.

Great Design but...

I absolutely love these endplates because they are very robust very well made but I've ordered about a dozen over the past few years and about half of those are out of spec which is always the supporting. the reason I say they're out of spec is the inner diameter where the buffer tube or receiver extension slides through the end plate it's about two or three thousandths too small and so the buffer tube or receiver ext won't actually pass through the end plate, in the past what I've had to do is take a Dremel tool with a polishing wheel and polished inside for a couple minutes and that's all it takes to break that tolerance issue. It's super aggravating to have to do work on a product that should have been done but I understand sometimes that does happen. to be completely honest if I didn't love this product I wouldn't have done it I would have returned it but that's my honest opinion.
