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.

works on pistol buffer tube

i needed an ambi single pt adapter for an AR pistol buffer tube setup. no one talks about fit for the pistol buffer tubes. this worked like a champ with minor modification - filling down the notch - which coincidentally makes the notch look like receiver plate that came with the pistol setup. the steel is soft enough that a hand file was sufficient to the task in a matter of minutes; so it may not last, but the price was good and it appears to working for now. i am buying more for other builds. it does not get in the way of the charging handle or forward assist.
