Threading Warning- Great Product by Artemis Verdant, Verified Owner, June 13, 2024
First the warning to potential buyers. This product calls for specific thread length on the buffer tube. Not buffer tube length but the length of the threading on the tube where it mates with the lower receiver. This is because of the extra space the...

Strike Industries for the win by Speedracrr6, Verified Owner, January 28, 2026
This is my second purchase of the Strike Industries Enhanced Castle Nut and in my opinion it’s the best. Not only are the QD points a great add to this, but it is super easy to install. This time I paired it with their buffer tube for the ultimate in...

Check your buffer tube thread length by John, Verified Owner, April 7, 2024
Great upgrade for your rifle/ pistol. Make sure you know how long your castle nut threads are though. I had to get a new tube to accommodate but it was well worth the money spent. Looking to buy more for my other rifles.

The castle nut is a slight different black color then the end plate, it is not coated with the same gloss look. Its more of a matte look and seems like will scratch a lot easier. I also have the Strike Ind. buffer tube in black which matches this end...

Not fully compatible with pistol tubes by TK11069, Verified Owner, July 9, 2021
I like the red Extended End Plate. It balances the other red parts I have on this AR pistol. However, I had to use my standard Castle Nut instead of the Extended because I have a Phase 5 buffer tube and the Enhanced Castle Nut would not slide back fa...

Looks nice, but... by Shawn, Verified Owner, April 24, 2023
So, I had my concerns about these parts after receiving them because it wasn't put together like I expected. After watching the install video from SI, I asked them about staking the nut. They say do not stake it. There are at least two install video...

Product Info for Strike Industries AR Enhanced Castle Nut / Extended End Plate

Introducing the TRIBUS Enhanced Anti-Rotation Castle Nut & Extended End Plate. The TRIBUS is next iteration of their previous AR-ECN&EEP. New features include two addition QD mounting points added to the left & right side of the extended end plate. Totaling in 3 QD mounting points. The extended end plate's QD mounts are pushed back away from the webbing of the primary hand, allowing for better weapon manipulations in tight spaced and under stress without the startling pain that can result from a pinched hand when using a sling attached to a standard, flat QD end plate. Another big improvement is the added anti-rotation castle nut feature. Once installed, use the set screw to prevent the castle nut from backing out during weapon usage. The TRIBUS is available in their anodized color line.image
