Typical production AR-15 pins are ~.245" diameter and flat on the ends. They operate in .250 pin holes, and items used to push the pins occasionally slide off and can scratch your lower receiver.

This pin set is ~.248" diameter, allowing you to improve your upper to lower receiver fit, and features early Armalite / early Colt style dimples to assist in location of bullet tips or tools used to push the pins. The tool locating dimples reduce the likelyhood of scratching your lower and add a nice feature to ease diss-assembly.

Note: Some Ar15's are manufactured out of specification and are designed to have no tolerance with .245 pins. These would not be a good candidate for this part. Mil-spec uppers and lowers however typically have .006-.008" of play and these pins will remove ~.002-.003 of that play, improving fit and feel of the parts. Does not include detents or detent springs.

    Takedown Pin Set

    Published by rick simes on 8th May 2023

    I had a LMT SBR lower and BCM upper that fit horribly. In fact, every upper I tried fit poorly. I know it doesn't matter for reliability or accuracy, but man was it bothersome. Tons of play in every direction, noisy too. I bought these pins as a last resort, and didn't think it would really make any difference. Wow, did it make a difference! Know the fit is snug, no more wiggling around and clanking. Pins are smooth in/out, no binding. Unbelievable what a few thousandths diff in dimensions made. Also, it doesn't mention that the pins are slightly longer too which I like for disassembly. Will definitely buy more of these as needed!

    Worked Great!

    Published by Eric on 22nd Mar 2023

    I bought these because they are slightly oversized and it really helped to make the upper and lower tighter. Would buy again!

    Great set, just tight enough.

    I have to admit, I thought this was going to be a bust for the price. Another company makes the same thing in a few different sizes, but charge more than triple for them. I took a chance on these and I am happy to say that they work great. Took up pretty much ALL my slope (wasnt much, just OCD about it). They are pretty much the same price as normal pins, so there is NO down side. However, since I only used them on 2 lowers, cant say for the tolerances and how they will fit in yours. I do have a brand spanking new one that was just purchased a few weeks ago and they fit SNUG, not enough that you cant remove them, but enough to take up that little play. These are a no brainer for the cost. Thank you Griffin.

    Over sized take down/pivot pins

    Published by Logan Henderson on 17th Dec 2022

    Purchases the over sized take down/pivot pins needing to sure up the upper and lower on my competition 556. The service and pins are 100% quality. I will be buying more in the future.

    Precision

    Published by Matthew on 9th Dec 2022

    Perfect fit and easy install for my aero precision lower. I tested it was a BCA upper. Less slop than the NBS pins. Thanks

    Couldn’t be happier with the results.

    Published by Logan Jansen on 2nd Dec 2022

    I wasn’t expecting these to work after hearing some folks not notice a difference with some other oversized pins. For me these took out every bit of play that my Psa upper/lower had. Went from a shaking rattle of the lower and upper smacking, now it is tight and you can only hear the buffer tube rattle. Highly recommend these pins.

    Trying to fix the wobble

    Published by Carter on 26th Oct 2022

    They are nice pins, makes it easier to take the rifle down. I got them to fix some wobble on a PsA kit. It’s hard to say if it really helped or not. I guess?

    My Ruger MPR needed these

    Published by Philip C on 21st Jul 2022

    High quality takedown pin set that tightened everything up big time. Back pin is really snug to the point it needs taps to fully seat-unseat which is ok with me. It will loosen up with use.
