Awesome product. Just what I needed.

Saves my finger tips and makes removing the upper for swapping out the 22 conversion kit and cleaning, a breeze.

YHM pins

These are high quality pins and I have them installed on all of my AR-15 systems.

Easy tear down

I have a similar set of mushroom pins on my Ar and a co--worker saw these on my platform and fervently asked wear I got those. Couldn't remember but I knew that Brownells had them. So as a surprise to him, I bought him a set and he absolutely loves them. Easy tear down and re-assemble and no tools needed. Best pins ever made.

EZ Pull Takedown pins work as advertised

Installed Pivot pins first. Easy to work without using a "Push" tool first. Just nudge pin with finger, and then use EZ Pull.

Good Pin Set

Have bought these multiple times for my builds. Have held up and makes it easier when stripping the rifle.

TIGHT "AND" EASY TO PULL

Have an LWRC M6 A5 with FDE cerakote in all pin holes. Had to use a brass punch and mallet to takedown. Removed cerakote from rear pin hole and STILL had an overly tight pin. Put the YHM EZ Pull pins in place and SHAZZAM ! Still tight but removable with one good tug. Like another reviewer, I was concerned with head-length interference or snag SO... The large rear pin head is 3/8" lower than the forward assist housing and thus a non snag issue. The forward pin is out another 1/8" past the open ejection port door so again... not really a snag issue. I use the old style "mag well hold" and the large forward pin provides an additional left index lock I appreciate. Now the CON: The right ambidextrous safety lever clearance is very difficult to use. My fix: I filed back the right lower edge (5:00 position) of the rear pin large head in line with the end of the right safety lever until my thumb easily passed and released the lever. Cold Blue the removed area and DONE and now I'm going to put the YHM pins on all my remaining weapons.

awesome pins, made in USA

bought these pins to upgrade my stock pin, and fixed front takedown screw, which was a pain to clean/takedown the gun. made in MA, USA cant beat the quality or price.

Good pin

Good pin... Make happy...

Tight is GOOD

I've had a few sets of these for 6 years now. They work great. Tear-down for cleaning and maintenance is effortless. I've read a few reviews on here complaining about tight fitment... These are a tolerance fit part. the tighter the fit, the more accurate the AR. TIGHT IS GOOD. As for installation, test fit these.. if you think the finish is too abrasive, hit em with a "green scrubbie" (3m kitchen scouring pad) and it will soften/poilsh the finish for smoother operation. Also, ensure your detent pins are smooth on top where they contact the takedown pins. Most detent pins are crap at best and could EASILY benefit from polishing the end for smoother operation. Pointy pins are bad, Rounded ends are good.. The YHM pins are Steel and built to last the lifetime of the Rifle.
