    Diemaco Triangle Style Ambi Sling Adapter End Plate Spec

    Anyone have a Diemaco triangle style ambi sling adapter end plate that they wouldn’t mind getting me specs of? Since it’s been near impossible to find one, I’d like to see about having one made up on a friends laser cutting machine. Can’t find any detailed specs on it.

    Unsure if it'll help, but Rebel Rouser posted this pic to help me build my C8.

    I’ve ran into your thread a few times while looking for info. I was wondering what you had ended up doing, whether you found one or eventually had one made. Thanks for the suggestion! If I can get the specs and have some made up, I’ll definitely send you one just for coming up in my searches 90% of the time haha I have a friend who makes dies, and he’s willing to make one that I can use with my 20 ton press for the indention. I’ll cut them out with a laser. The only thing I lack are the specs. I’m also going to be making a few of the charging handle latches. I sent one off yesterday to have a CAD 2D and 3D drawn of it.

    Somehow a genuine CF take-off that was headed for scrap (replaced as "superseded," not on condition) found its way to me, and that's what I ended up installing.

    That’s awesome. If only I could get so lucky lol I’ve found some rare parts, including a rare factory Desert Tan Diemaco furniture set new in the gov plastic for $25 locally, but have yet found the end plate.

    Alright folks, I did end up finding a genuine Diemaco end plate, and decided I wouldn’t allow anyone else to go through the trouble I had to go through lol it’s been more then a month in the making, but I have completed a copy of the latch and the triangle style end plate. I’ve also found a one sided slotted endplate that a member on another forum is letting me “rent”, and I plan to spec it out and make copies, AS WELL as a double sided

    Cool! There's also a new latch with a shorter claw that's gonna be a challenge to find... When you have numbers and samples, post 'em up and I might be on for two sets--plan is "sample everything, then let the girlfriend choose her own adventure and have HER stake it into place."

    Yes, forgot to mention the other latch. I’m not very optimistic about finding one, but I’ve been keeping an eye out. I could eye ball it, but I want all of the copies to be perfect, all the way down to the Zinc Phosphate finish which took a while to perfect. I have a couple contacts across the border, and may see about getting a loaner the guy I got several of my parts from said they are extremely rare there too though.

    I may make a small modification to the latch (remove a couple of the teeth), but the end plate is absolutely perfect aside from the domed end that I’m still working to perfect. The dimensions couldn’t be any more perfect though. Pretty proud of myself lol

    Since the pic you shared in this post, and the original thread you had shared it in, was a huge inspiration for this endeavor, I’ll happily send you a couple samples I’ll reach out to you for a shipping address as soon as I get some samples of the other end plates complete.
