I have installed these on my last two builds, and I really do prefer them. The extended endplate moves the QD point further away from the pistol grip, which keeps the sling off the back of my hand. The extended castle nut covers the exposed threads on the buffer tube, which I like for using with cheaper, less than "mil-spec" buffer tubes because I have found that adjustable stocks sometimes get hung up on the exposed threads when fully collapsed due to the cheaper manufacturing. The length of pull is reduced ever so slightly with the longer castle nut and end plate. This is not an issue for me, but I figured it was something worth mentioning. The bottom of the endplate does not line up exactly flush with either the Radian or Spikes Tactical lower receiver I installed it on, but that is purely an aesthetic criticism. I haven't put this through any torture tests, but so far, I do recommend this over standard or even BCM endplates. Four stars because it could be better, but it is a great part for any build.
