Forward Controls Design End Plate w/ Single QD Port

ESF (End plate, Sling Adapter, Forward Controls Design) is a drop in end plate replacement for the AR platform (both 223 and 308 spec).  Featuring three quick detach sling swivel sockets (two side, and one rear facing), when used in conjunction with a castle nut, ESF will allow retractable carbine stocks to fully collapse.  SOPMOD and B5 Systems Bravo stocks will fully collapse with a rear facing QD swivel installed, other carbine stocks must be closed on the #2 position on the RE (#1 position being fully closed) if a rear facing QD swivel is present.

ESF-H is no light weight at 1.1oz.  Their design philosophy focuses on utility, simplicity, and durability.  4140 ESF-H is heavy, because it is practically bomb proof, and will outlast the 7075 aluminum receivers.  Their concern with weight is only limited to keeping their designs as close to TDP weight as possible.  There isn’t a TDP equivalent for the ESF, and the 4140 ESF-H’s weight is centered on the AR, it will not cause the weapon to be front or rear heavy, thus they deem its heft to be acceptable, given its immense strength.

Specifications:

• Weight: 1.12 oz.
• Material: 4140
• Made in USA

Please NOTE:

• ESF-H1 has a single rear facing QD swivel socket.
• End plates that incorporate side facing QD swivel sockets can mask available wrench notches required for torquing.  A conventional castle nut wrench has 3 lugs, in some cases, the socket housing may partially block access to one of them.  A 2 lug castle nut wrench, such as the AR Multitasker, or their JCW (Joint Castle nut Wrench) would be required to torque the castle nut properly.
• ESF does not ship with CNF (castle nut).
