The Midwest Industries Heavy Duty QD End Plate (brand part no. MI-HDEP) replaces a standard AR-pattern buffer tube end plate with a heavier-duty version that adds a built-in QD sling mount point. At 4.8 inches and roughly 0.087 lb, it swaps in the same way a factory end plate does, without adding noticeable bulk or weight to the back of the receiver. The integrated QD socket gives a shooter a sling attachment option that many factory end plates do not include. It is a simple, low-cost way to add a sling mount while upgrading to a sturdier end plate.
