Forward Controls Design ESF-H1 End Plate, DLC
ESF-H1 (End plate, Sling Adapter, Forward Controls Design, Heavy, 1 socket) is a drop in end plate replacement for the AR platform (both 223 and 308 spec).
ESF-H1 is available in 4140 steel and DLC coating. ESF has rotation limited side facing sockets. The rear facing socket has no limiters, as the receiver extension effectively limits the swivel’s rotation.
Note:
End plates that incorporate side facing QD swivel sockets can mask available wrench notches required for torquing. A conventional castle nut wrench has 3 lugs, in some cases, the socket housing may partially block access to one of them. A 2 lug castle nut wrench, such as the AR Multitasker, or our JCW (Joint Castle nut Wrench) would be required to torque the castle nut properly.
ESF’s receiver extension indexing tab can be tight on some receiver extensions.
ESF-H1 (rear socket only) does not have rotation limiters, as the QD sling swivel is prevented from rotating 360 degrees by the receiver extension.

Nice end plate but it’s definitely expensive. I mainly got it for the aesthetic. If you don’t care about that and just want a good quality QD end plate for a reasonable price go with BCM.

This end plate replaced the standard GI end plate on my Colt 6933. I will never buy another USGI/Mil spec castle nut or end plate again. FCD will be what I buy and use from now on. The tolerances on their items is amazing!

Just put this on an ADM stripped lower, it feels solid and beefy (not compared to the THICC endplate maybe)
I’m gonna start comparing shipping with Rooftop as my standard because you are just amazing.
I bought a trigger from Geissele a week ago and they haven’t even put a shipping label on it yet.

Solid single socket plate. Highly recommend the JCW wrench if you are using FCD Castle Nut. Helps make sure you always have 2 points of contact on this and the standard End Plate.
