Radian Ultralight Aluminum Receiver End Plate with QD Sling Swivel Mount for AR-15/LR-308 Carbine - Matte Finish

Every gram counts when you're building a rifle that works as hard as you do. The Radian Ultralight Aluminum Receiver End Plate with QD Sling Swivel Mount is a no-compromise way to shed weight on your AR-15 or LR-308 without sacrificing durability or function. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with titanium reinforcement and finished in hard-coat anodize, this end plate tips the scales at just 6.5 grams—barely a whisper compared to standard steel alternatives—while delivering the quick-detach sling attachment point you need for practical shooting, hunting, or tactical work.

Weight savings on small parts rarely grab headlines, but they add up fast across an entire build. Whether you're optimizing a precision rifle for extended range sessions, keeping a hunting carbine nimble in the field, or dialing in a competition gun, shaving ounces where it matters means less fatigue and better control. This end plate does exactly that without requiring a complete redesign or compromise on real-world utility.

Installation is straightforward on any AR platform: the end plate works with both mil-spec and commercial buffer tubes and simply requires a standard castle nut. The integrated quick-detach sling swivel cup means you can attach or detach your sling in seconds without fumbling with separate hardware. The matte black hard-coat anodize finish resists wear and corrosion, so it'll look and function the same after a season of use as it does fresh from the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this end plate work on my AR-15 and LR-308 builds?

Yes. The Radian Ultralight end plate is compatible with both AR-15 and LR-308 platforms, and it works with both mil-spec and commercial buffer tubes.

How much weight does it save compared to a standard end plate?

At 6.5 grams, this aluminum end plate is significantly lighter than conventional steel alternatives. The exact savings depend on what you're replacing, but on a build where every ounce matters—a precision rifle, a hunting rifle, or a competition gun—it's a meaningful reduction.

How do I install this end plate?

Installation requires a castle nut and standard assembly tools. It installs the same way as any AR end plate, so if you've built or worked on an AR before, you already know the process.

Can I attach my sling directly to the end plate?

Yes. The integrated quick-detach swivel cup lets you attach or detach a QD-equipped sling quickly without any additional hardware or adapters.
