Description
The Fortis K1 Lightweight Enhanced (LE) system brings a compact, precision approach to the castle nut and end plate interface for AR-15 platforms. The K1 design features a tapered castle nut that seats and seals against the end plate to minimize the risk of the castle nut backing out. Installation is engineered to avoid staking, set screws, or ratcheting while keeping total system weight extremely low at 0.59 oz (16.8 g). The component is offered with an anodized finish and is available in Black and Flat Dark Earth.
