Does NOT fit AR10s
The Q&A section answer from a Brownells expert said yes they will fit an AR10 take down pin. Well, They do NOT folks! Plus the price is very high for what you receive. 10 shims of an unknown thickness for $28. My suggestion is to keep looking, better deals with better specifications elsewhere.
