Phase 5 Sloped QD End Plate – AR-15/M4 Black Aluminum

The Phase 5 Weapon Systems Sloped QD End Plate (brand part number SQD-EP) is a direct replacement for the standard AR-15/M4 carbine end plate that adds a quick-detach sling mount without giving up any of the factory part’s function. Phase 5 machines it from billet 7075-T6 aluminum, keeping it lighter than the stock stamped end plate while accepting any push-button QD swivel or sling. The mounting point sits at a 30-degree slope off the lower receiver, allowing a full 360-degree rotation so the sling stays usable from either shoulder. It’s made in the USA and drops into the same buffer-tube castle-nut assembly as the factory plate.
