Helpful Positive Review Works as Advertised.....but is Fragile by RJ, Verified Owner, December 8, 2023
I like the design and it works fine and looks good. HOWEVER, the castle nut is light and fragile. I felt like I was doing surgery when installing it. If you overtighten or make a wrong move it will bend. I read in the description that they also make ...

Helpful Positive Review Fortis knows their stuff by Infernal, Verified Owner, December 12, 2024
I’ve bought 3 of these, they’re very user friendly both torquing them on and removing them is a breeze, and if you’re someone who changes the parts on their gun like a girl changes clothes, than this thing is perfect for you.

Helpful Positive Review Fantastic products by Mik, Verified Owner, April 11, 2024
K1 is tapered castle nut version and K2 is lever lock version. Both are fantastic and negate the necessity for staking castle nuts and allow for easier removal when necessary. Make sure you torque correctly and they will serve you indefinitely. Addi...

Helpful Positive Review Way way easier by Fatnipples, May 26, 2022
This is so much better than the ole regular castle nut and plate. Even the take down spring went in easier for some reason. Looks great just a bit of color to match the other accessories. Will be buying again

Helpful Positive Review brilliant execution by Jason M, Verified Owner, May 6, 2022
Blown away by this thing. Very easy to install. Just used it for a build with a Gearhead Works Mod 2 brace/buffer tube. It Locks up well via ratcheting device that is in the end plate. It also looks pretty cool. Highly recommended.

Helpful Positive Review Fortis Castle nut by Aarrr, March 23, 2022
Nice looking, good finish and easy to install. Just click it tight and you are ready to go. Also easy to take off. Just depress the locking pin and screw off the nut. It really adds a good look your firearm from the plain mil spec.

Product Info for Fortis Manufacturing AR-15 LE Omega Clip Castle Nut/End Plate K2 System

When designing our new Lightweight Enhanced (LE) Castle Nut & End Plate System, we came up with two systems that virtually eliminates the risk of your castle nut ever backing out. With our two lockdown systems (K1 & K2), we've engineered a solution to install the castle nut onto the end plate that is not only robust, but also stands true to our brand of innovation and ingenuity. The K2 system utilizes a c-clip design that seats itself through a designed slot on the bottom of the end plate and into corresponding cutouts on the castle nut. This ultra precision fit allows the castle nut to seat 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 .55 oz / 15.6 grams!image
