I want to be able to attach a sling to the rear of receiver on my N4 Light Basic Carbine.
Anyone with experience with the Noveske QD End Plate?
gotm4 installed one on my N4 basic build:
The DD heavy-duty sling swivel is a snug fit against the castle nut, but otherwise no issues. I've had minimal time with it at the range since installation, so I'll let someone else chime in with a range report. Hope this helps...
Sheri at Noveske told me it needed to be staked? Does that mean that it must be heated and spot smashed into place?
Is staking and installing this plate a gunsmith only affair? Or can I do it with basic gun savvy and the right tools?
Is it easily undone? Does it get in the way of any possible options or work in the future?
Thanks for the great photos![]()
Do you have much time with that (Magpull ?) sling?
You can see the staking in the middle picture posted above.
It does not require heating the plate, only striking it with a hammer and punch or spring loaded center punch, to displace metal from the plate into the reliefs in the castle nut, to aid in preventing the castle nut from rotating and therefore loosening.
It can be undone at a later date to facilitate the swapping of parts for repair or further upgrade.
You can stake it yourself with a little mechanical ability and the previously mentioned tools in about five minutes.

I have 2of the end plates and prefer them to the DD and Troy models. They are easy to install and anyone with a little mechanical savvy can do it.
