Fortis Mfg QD End Plate - Black Anodized Finish (QDEND)
- Type:
- End Plate
The Fortis Mfg QD End Plate is a quick-detach sling hardware solution built for AR15 and AR308 rifle platforms running carbine-length buffer tubes. If you're running a modern tactical rifle and want a secure, field-proven way to attach and detach your sling without tools, this end plate delivers the simplicity and durability that serious shooters rely on. The quick-detach socket design means your sling stays ready to deploy or stow in seconds—no fumbling, no fuss.
Built from 6061 aluminum and finished in mil-spec black anodize, the Fortis QD End Plate handles the abuse that training, hunting, and competition demand. Every edge is fully radiused inside and out, a detail that matters more than it sounds: it prevents your sling fabric from fraying and catching where the plate meets your buffer tube. When you're working your rifle hard, those small engineering decisions add up to real durability. Made in the USA, it's the kind of part that stays in the background until you need it—then it just works.
Drop-in installation on standard AR15 and AR308 carbine systems, no modifications required. Whether you're setting up a home-defense rifle, a precision carbine, or anything in between, this QD end plate gives you one less thing to compromise on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this QD end plate work on my AR15?
Yes. The Fortis QD End Plate is designed for AR15 rifles and AR308 rifles using carbine-length buffer tubes. It installs in place of your standard end plate with no modifications required.
Can I use this on an AR308?
Yes, it's compatible with both AR15 and AR308 platforms, as long as your rifle uses a carbine-length buffer tube.
Why does the radiused edge design matter?
The fully radiused edges inside and out eliminate sharp corners and snag points where your sling could fray or catch. It's a small detail that extends the life of your sling and keeps the system running smoothly under hard use.
Is this compatible with standard sling swivels?
This end plate features a quick-detach socket, so you'll need a QD sling attachment point to use it effectively. Standard fixed slings won't work with the QD design.
