Fortis K2 lightweight castle nut and end plate system engineered to prevent loosening. Anodized gray finish, weighs just 0.59 oz. No staking required.
Fits: AR15
Fortis Manufacturing has engineered a solution to one of the AR15's most persistent problems: castle nuts that back out under recoil. The K2 system represents their answer to this age-old reliability concern.
Instead of relying on traditional staking methods, Fortis developed a precision-engineered interface between the castle nut and end plate. The tapered design creates a mechanical lock that seats and seals itself into place—no additional hardware, no guesswork, no failures.
A loose castle nut can lead to buffer tube movement and reliability issues. The K2 system's mechanical lockdown provides confidence that your rifle's rear assembly will stay secure through thousands of rounds. This is engineering that works—not because of complexity, but because of thoughtful design.
Fortis brings their trademark innovation to a component that deserves attention: the foundation of your rifle's stability.
