Perfect addition for a Ruger SFAR by LFOD1776, Verified Owner, November 6, 2024

Great Build Part by J, Verified Owner, August 7, 2022
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 o...
