The Timber Creek Outdoors QD End Plate transforms standard AR-15 platforms with integrated quick-detach sling mounting capability. This ambidextrous end plate eliminates the need for separate QD mounts while maintaining the rifle's streamlined profile. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish, it provides corrosion resistance and tactical aesthetics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic end plates that require additional hardware for sling attachment, this unit incorporates dual QD sockets directly into the buffer tube interface. The ambidextrous design accommodates both left and right-handed shooters without compromise. Standard end plates offer no sling mounting options, forcing users to add rail-mounted accessories that increase bulk and snag potential.
Key Features
- Dual QD sockets for ambidextrous sling mounting capability

Field performance demonstrates reliable sling attachment under dynamic conditions. The dual socket configuration allows tactical transitions between carry positions without sling removal.
