Not a compelling addition.
Typical Battle Arms quality.
With my fingers the pivot pin is a little easier to get a hold on.
I also like the extra .030" length.
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Awesome!
I bought these for my first ever AR build. I had help from an old timer that had never seen these and did it the old way for ever.. We were both blown away on the ease of it, I was able to do it one handed
Great Product & a Nice Finishing Touch
These pins are a nice touch to any custom build. Not like I can say it saves weight on a build when mated to a receiver with a heavy profile barrel. A rifle that looks good, feels better about itself and shoots better!
Oooh, these are purdy!!
These pins sure are pretty!! They are also functional and make an awesome build look that much better!! The are lightweight when compared to standard pins and the EASIEST detent installation I have ever done. Will post pics of final build with these once I get complete rifle together.
Enhanced Pin Set- very nice updgrade
This is a very nice upgrade to an AR15 build. Helps avoid having to use punches to get pins out, especially if needed in the field. Nice package with magnet to hold the pins, springs, etc. Very easy to install, especially if you purchase a Brownells Pivot Pin Detent Depressor tool and Delta Series AR Pivot Pin/Roll Pin Installation Tool. I really like these enhanced pins.
B.A.D set the standard.
Very happy with the quality, fit and function. Looks great with my BAD LW Lower and other fitted custom parts. I will be buying these again - for sure.
Simple little thing that means a lot!
Okay, this is not a groundbreaking earth shaking product. In fact, if you are not a person that COMPLETELY dis-assembles you AR platform rifle, this is probably not for you. However, if you are the person that does, this is the greatest thing since....toilet paper roll hooks! You know, changing toilet paper on the spring loaded spindle is not hard, but, once you get the toilet paper hook that you just slide off the core and slide on a new roll.....you appreciate the minor improvement. That's what this is. It will not make your gun more accurate. It will not make it more reliable. It will make it more fun and easy to completely break down to nothing. The extended/divoted pins make for easier separation of the upper and lower. The magnet and specially machined front pin makes for a much easier front pin/detent install and will probably save a few trips to the ER regarding your eyes.
Amazing takedown pins.
These are a must have item if you have any trouble with the mil-spec takedown pins. They extend about 1mm beyond the standard pins so you can push them without using a punch or bullet. Great product. It also includes the springs and detents.
Brilliantly Simple
Battle Arms Devolopment has once again refined what we take for granted with the AR15 platform. Like their line of ambi safeties (see those reviews) the AR15/M16 Enhanced Takedown and Pivot Pins wil find there way on to every AR15 I own. Not only do the pins make assembling and disassembling your weapon easier they look great too. Im a bit physivally impaired and these pins are a godesend. Installation is a breeze and extremely clever. Be sure to watch the videos as mentioned elsewhere. These things go to eleven!
The best ideas are the simplest
These are great! The pins are a tad longer than the width of the upper / lower receivers. This allows a simple push on the left side of the pins with your fingers (no tool needed) to push the right side head out where you can grasp it easily and pull. Concave heads make it easy to push back in without looking. Would be a great addition to a rifle without the magnet but it's an added bonus. Makes installation of the spring / detent / pin a breeze. Well worth the added cost.
