Forward Controls Design ESF-H End Plate

ESF (End plate, Sling Adapter, Forward Controls Design) is a drop in end plate replacement for the AR platform (both 223 and 308 spec). Featuring three quick detach sling swivel sockets (two side, and one rear facing), when used in conjunction with a castle nut, ESF will allow retractable carbine stocks to fully collapse. SOPMOD and B5 Systems Bravo stocks will fully collapse with a rear facing QD swivel installed, other carbine stocks must be closed on the #2 position on the RE (#1 position being fully closed) if a rear facing QD swivel is present.
 
ESF is available in 4140 steel, DLC or phosphate coated ESF-H (3 sockets) and Cerakoted versions. ESF-H has rotation limited side facing sockets. The rear facing socket has no limiters, as the receiver extension effectively limits the swivel’s rotation.
 
ESF-H is no light weight at 1.1oz. Our design philosophy focuses on utility, simplicity, and durability. 4140 ESF-H is heavy, because it is practically bomb proof, and will outlast the 7075 aluminum receivers. Our concern with weight is only limited to keeping our designs as close to TDP weight as possible. There isn’t a TDP equivalent for the ESF, and the 4140 ESF-H’s weight is centered on the AR, it will not cause the weapon to be front or rear heavy, thus we deem its heft to be acceptable, given its immense strength.
 
As is our practice, ESF’s shape is dictated by its functions. In order to accommodate the rear facing socket, and fill one of the design requirements that ESF must be able to use stakable castle nuts and allow the carbine stock to fully collapse, ESF has a slight increase in width on the sides, and small openings on the top of the sockets housing. These design cues do not affect ESF’s structural integrity, and mostly go unnoticed by users, they merely reflect a paradox, that it can be quite complicated to create a simplified design. A seemingly simple product can often be more than meets the eye.
