Forward Controls Design EPC Billet 7075 2 Dimple Ejection Port Cover

$47.50

FCD had resisted making a Forward Controls version of ejection port cover, mainly because they were preoccupied with other projects, but when they had a moment to list the things we wanted on an FCD version, it wasn't long before it became a project they became excited about.


EPC (Ejection Port Cover) is based on TDP dimensions, with thoughtful Forward Control touches.  Billet machined from 7075 aluminum, and hard coat Type III anodized, it incorporates features they think many will find useful.


EPC has two "tabs" flanking the cutout for the port cover spring.  These tabs allow the EPC to rest on the upper at a greater angle when it's in the down/open position, which provides more space between the port cover and lower receiver. Their job is to better allow the user's finger to get underneath the port cover when he wishes to swing it up/close.


Another feature is a shallow circular depression on the side of the EPC to provide texture tactile feedback to the user's finger when he's closing the EPC.  A flat surface provides nothing to the user to differentiate one surface from another, it also provides no traction.  A shallow circular depression on the left side of the EPC does both.  Forward Controls incorporate flat surfaces with care as they have their uses. In this case, EPC's exterior surface is treated as a control surface, where a flat surface rarely makes sense. EPC is compatible with TDP spec upper receivers.


Specifications:

  • Weight: 0.30 oz.
  • Material: 7075
  • Construction and coating: billet, type III anodized.


Please NOTE:

  • Initial closing and opening of EPC may be stiff, this is normal, and will become easier with 2 or 3 closing/opening cycles. 
  • Depending on the upper receiver, the area below the ejection port cover will vary in thickness, which affects the angle of the EPC when the port cover is open/down.
  • Late 2023 pattern EPC has a smaller logo (by 20%), they like thier logo small, subtle and understated, thus on the EPC, the logo is on the inside and small.
