Phase 5 Sloped QD End Plate for AR-15

MSR Arms

Phase 5 Sloped Quick Disconnect End Plate (SQD-EP)

It’s hard to get excited about an AR-15 end plate. But as QD attachments became increasingly popular, it was clear that the standard end plate would need to be redesigned to include a QD Mount option.  When Phase 5 Weapon Systems Inc introduced the Sloped Quick Disconnect End Plate (SQD-EP) a while back, it instantly rectified the design flaw that the first round of industry QD Mount End Plates had – users found that the location of the mount limited the rotation of the sling attachment, causing the rifle to hang at an uncomfortable angle.

Phase 5 Sloped Quick Disconnect End Plate on Rifle SQD-EP

By angling the QD Mount out and away from the rifle, the sling attachment no longer interfered with the buffer tube.  Since the QD mount is at a 30 Degree angle from the lower receiver, it allows a 360 Degree rotation for true ambidextrous use.

Phase 5 Sloped Quick Disconnect End Plate - Red and Black

With the success of their Red Winter Trigger Guard, Phase 5 is now offering the SQD-EP with a clean Anodized Red Finish in addition to traditional black. Available at a special introductory price (for a limited time) at MSRarms.com, these end plates are something to get excited about for any shooter who prefers a QD Swivel Sling!

  • Pull force rating= 200lbs
  • Proudly made in the USA from USA raw billet 7075-T6 aluminum which is Lighter than the standard stamped steel receiver extension end plate (0.39 oz vs 0.48 oz).
  • Compatible with mil-spec carbine receiver extensions, commercial-spec receiver extensions, and all Phase 5 Pistol Buffer Tubes on nearly all AR15/M4/.308 AR variant lower receivers.
  • Lightweight and sturdy 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction is about 80% stronger than 6061-T6 aluminum.
  • Uses a standard AR15/M4 carbine Lower receiver extension castle nut (not included).
  • Accepts all push button QD swivels and QD slings.
