The CMMG 55CA9AC QD End Plate transforms standard AR-15 buffer tube configurations into versatile single-point sling platforms. This precision-machined component replaces the factory end plate to provide a secure quick-detach mounting point positioned at the rear of the receiver extension.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic end plates that serve only as buffer tube retention, the CMMG QD end plate integrates a hardened steel quick-detach socket directly into the mounting hardware. The socket accepts standard QD sling swivels and maintains the same profile as factory components. This design eliminates the need for separate sling mounting accessories while preserving the rifle's original aesthetics and balance point.
Key Features
- Integrated QD socket accepts all mil-spec quick-detach sling swivels
- Precision machined from steel with Type III hard anodized finish
- Direct replacement for factory AR-15/M4 buffer tube end plates
- Low-profile design maintains original rifle silhouette
- Hardened steel construction rated for tactical applications
- Compatible with carbine and rifle-length buffer systems
- Ambidextrous sling attachment point for left and right-handed shooters
The rear-mounted QD socket provides optimal sling positioning for single-point carry systems, allowing the rifle to hang naturally at the shooter's side. This placement reduces muzzle rise during transitions and maintains weapon retention during vehicle operations or confined spaces. The hardened steel construction withstands repeated sling attachment cycles without wear or loosening.
