The Butt Plate is designed to secure the butt stock and to work in conjunction with the Weaponholder. Together the System’s design allows you to mount your weapon on any plane while still allowing instant retrieval. Read the FAQ section to learn more.
A combination of mounting methods gives you the option to secure the Butt Plate temporarily or permanently. They include Key Slots, Locking Strips, Screws, Bolts and Releasable Cable/zip ties.
The underside of the Butt Plate contains a T-Shaped channel which houses a factory installed Locking Strip. Locking Strips allow you to securely mount the Butt Plate and remove it quickly. Locking Strips can be mounted in several locations, allowing you to move your System to and from frequently used locations. Key Slot screws provide a similar option of moving back and forth between locations. The Butt Plate’s design incorporates screw/bolt holes on all surfaces, allowing you to mount the Butt Plate on any plane.

How do I quickly remove my weapon from the Butt Plate?
When you remove the barrel from the Weaponholder the heel of the butt stock lifts. As you continue to pull the barrel forward, lift your weapon out of the Butt Plate. You shouldn’t have to release the strap.
Why do I see the Butt Plate being used parallel to a wall?
Parallel to the wall prevents optics and other attachments from hitting the wall.
What’s the difference between a Mil-Spec Butt Plate and a Standard Butt Plate
The only difference is the Mil-Spec Butt Plate has a Quick Release Strap and the Standard Butt Plate has a one-piece 11” Strap.
Will I ever need to replace the strap?
Yes, depending on the number of open/close cycles your strap is subjected to, hook and loop will lose its strength over time. If you notice your strap’s peel strength is starting to weaken, we suggest you replace it to maintain maximum protection of your weapons. This is normal for all hook and loop products.
Tip: To help keep your strap clean, engage the hook and loop sections when not in use. This will help keep it clean and extend the life of your strap.
Do I need to use a Prep Wipe before applying the Locking Strip.
Yes. Even if a surface appears to be clean, some dirt and oils may be present. Removing them will give the Locking Strip a much stronger bond.
Tip: Always carry a few extra .75” x 4.0” Locking Strips as well as Prep Wipes and Primer Sticks. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll find places you regularly use or store your weapon.
Do I need to use a Primer Stick.
Yes. If you plan to use your system within 72 hours you should use a Primer Stick. Using a Primer Stick will allow the adhesive on the Locking Strip to achieve its maximum cure strength in a few hours versus 72 hours without the Primer. Mounting A component to a Locking Strip before the adhesive has cured will most likely result in a weaker mount and may cause the Locking Strip to come off of the mounting surface when the component is removed.
Should I ever replace the Locking Strip.
Yes. Locking Strip will wear out. Locking Strip has a life cycle of approximately1000 closure cycles depending on conditions and usage. That said, use your judgement. If the Locking Strip on your Weaponholder, Butt Plate or any of the surfaces you’ve mounted strips to appears damaged or worn, replace it. Even if there’s no visible sign of wearing and the holding strength seems to be weakening, replace the locking strip. This is a quick and easy step to ensure your system maintains its peak performance.
How do I clean my Locking Strip?
The two easiest and most effective methods are blowing compressed air or running water with a little soap. This should help to loosen and remove dirt and debris. Be careful when cleaning your Locking Strip not to damage the stems. In the event you are unable to remove materials that are causing problems, remove and replace the Locking Strip.
Does having the Quick Release Tab on a side opposite my dominant hand slow the retrieval of my weapon?
No. The QR Strap’s design allows you to decide which side you want the QR Tab on. Once you decide, left or right, mount the bottom part of the strap through the strap slot on side you want the QR Tab to be on. Then mount the top part of the strap with the QR Tab on the opposite side of the Weaponholder.
