The Strike Industries AR Castle Nut and Extended End Plate Steel kit delivers enhanced functionality for AR-15 platform builds and upgrades. This precision-machined steel combination provides improved sling attachment options and streamlined buffer tube installation compared to standard mil-spec components.
What Makes This Different
The extended end plate design incorporates integrated sling attachment points that eliminate the need for separate QD mounts or traditional sling swivels. Strike Industries engineers this kit from heat-treated steel rather than aluminum, providing superior thread engagement and resistance to deformation under torque. The castle nut features enhanced wrench flats for secure installation without specialized tools.
Key Features
- Heat-treated steel construction for maximum durability and thread life
- Extended end plate with integrated sling attachment points
- Enhanced castle nut with improved wrench flats for tool engagement
- Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 and AR-10 buffer tube assemblies
- Eliminates need for separate QD sling mounts or adapters
- Precision machined threads ensure proper buffer tube alignment
- Matte black finish resists corrosion and wear
This steel construction handles the repeated stress of buffer tube installation and removal during maintenance cycles. The integrated sling points accommodate standard 1.25-inch sling webbing and provide secure attachment for tactical, hunting, and competition applications. Installation requires only standard armorer's tools and follows mil-spec torque specifications.
