Fortis Manufacturing, Inc. K1 Enhanced, End Plate Castle Nut Combo, QD Socket, Anodized Finish, Olive Drab Green, Fits AR-15

When designing the new Lightweight Enhanced (LE) Castle Nut & End Plate System, Fortis came up with two systems that virtually eliminates the risk of your castle nut ever backing out. With the two lockdown systems (K1 & K2), Fortis has engineered a solution to install the castle nut onto the end plate that is not only robust, but also stands true to their brand of innovation and ingenuity. The K1 system features a tapered castle nut that seals itself onto the end plate. This ultra precision snug fit allows the castle nut to seat and seal itself into place without the need of staking the end plate. No ratcheting, no set screws, no backing out and no failures. All of these features at only .59 oz / 16.8 grams! • Lightweight design at only .59 oz / 16.8 grams total • Castle nut and end plate are 7075 T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum • Quick Detach Socket - 360 rotational locking interface • No set screws or ratcheting system
