Dissapointed
Using with a cartridge style trigger to avoid over-torquing the trigger set screws - but the pins are too long and don't snug up against the receiver.

Different Screws than pictured
While the picture seems to show the common Allen screw, they actually use the way less common T8 (everyone has two of those drivers laying around right?). Would definitely have bought a different product that is easier to interface with

Not recommended
These pins have a small, odd hex (1.5mm?) that I had a hard time finding allen wrenches in my tool box for (they don't come with any wrenches) and I couldn't get them tightened down before the screw heads started to strip. I ended up just reusing the regular pins that were in my lower previously. Other anti-walk pins I've bought worked great and had larger allen heads. I do not recommend these - keep shopping and buy some better ones.
