The LBE Unlimited ARLPLT Receiver End Plate provides essential buffer tube retention for AR-15 platform rifles with a robust steel construction and corrosion-resistant black phosphate finish. This critical component ensures proper buffer system alignment while offering enhanced durability over standard aluminum alternatives.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard aluminum end plates that can wear or crack under repeated use, this steel construction delivers superior strength and longevity. The black phosphate coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments. The precision-machined design ensures consistent buffer tube torque specifications and proper castle nut engagement.
Key Features
- Steel construction for enhanced durability and wear resistance
- Black phosphate finish resists corrosion and environmental damage
- Precision-machined surfaces ensure proper buffer tube alignment
- Compatible with mil-spec AR-15 buffer tubes and castle nuts
- Standard threading accommodates QD sling swivel attachments
- Maintains proper headspace and buffer system function
- Drop-in replacement for factory receiver end plates
This end plate maintains consistent performance across temperature extremes and high round counts. The steel material resists deformation under castle nut torque, preventing buffer tube movement that can affect cycling reliability. Law enforcement and competitive shooters rely on components that won't fail during extended use, making this upgrade essential for serious applications.
