Frequently Asked Questions
Will this QD end plate fit my mil-spec carbine buffer tube?
Yes. The Fortis QD End Plate is specifically designed to fit standard mil-spec carbine-style buffer tubes used on AR-15 and AR-308 lower receivers. It is not intended for pistol-length or rifle-length buffer tube setups, so verify your buffer tube style before ordering.
What size QD swivel is compatible with this end plate?
The Fortis QD End Plate accepts standard 1.25-inch push-button QD swivels, which are the most common size used across sling manufacturers such as Magpul, Blue Force Gear, and Viking Tactics. Always confirm your sling's swivel size before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
Do I need any special tools or a new castle nut to install this end plate?
Installation requires a standard castle nut and an armorer's wrench to properly torque and stake the nut in place — the same process used for any AR-15 end plate. The Fortis QD End Plate does not include a castle nut, so if you don't already have one, pick up a mil-spec castle nut separately. No special tools beyond a standard AR armorer's toolkit are needed.
