AR-15/M16 ENHANCED TAKEDOWN PINS Reviews & Ratings

Steel, push-button pins give a positive lock that quickly release with finger pressure for easy access to the inside of your AR-15’s upper and lower receivers. These Enhanced Pins now have an end cap to ease in pin removal and installation. The cap also prevents debris from entering the internals of the lower and the pin. Three, spring-loaded detent balls hold pins in place and prevent wear or binding in the pivot hole or receiver hole when removed. Pivot Pin replaces the factory front pivot pin. Takedown Pin replaces the rear, factory takedown pin to eliminate the need for a punch or other tools to disengage the pin.

SPECS: Steel, black oxide finish. Pivot Pin & Takedown Pin - Available for receivers with .250" diameter pivot pin.

Works well but...

The pin works well, great construction, very easy to use and potentially very convenient, BUT when installed, it sticks out so much that it interferes with my access to the safety lever! Turning it around does not help, the takedown pin needs to be very close to flush with the lower receiver in order to be out of the way of my thumb accessing the safety. I have a standard milspec Anderson lower with standard safety lever parts, and I can't use this pin!
