What is the BROWNELLS - AR-15 Front Pivot Pin Assembly/Disassembly Kit?
Long available as part of our AR-15/M16 Armorer's Tool Kits, we now offer these two simple, yet indispensable, tools on their own in a handy "two-fer" kit. Use the Pivot Pin Depressor to compress the spring-loaded detent to free the pivot pin for removal - a truly frustrating chore made simple with this tool. Works on all mil-spec AR-15s, except those from Colt Mfg. On the flip side, the Pivot Pin Detent Installation Tool guides the detent and spring into place and serves as a slave pin when installing the pivot pin itself. Prevents the loss of the detent ball and makes pivot pin installation easy, fast, and stress-free. Both tools are made of properly hardened, high-grade steel. These Brownells Products are also available for individual sale.

Brilliant little tool. Saves a lot of time in having to remove my buffer tube to remove a rear pin. Works great!

What a great idea and tool. Definitely makes the job super easy. No one likes to take down and reinstall a castle nut. Great job.

Great tool
This tool makes installing the front pivot pin detent pin and spring pretty easy. Without this tool, the detent pin and spring can easily get away from you and launch far away.
