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.

    Solution into a wobbly AR15 receivers.

    These are the takedown pins you need when you have a wobbly lower and upper receiver. I believed these are 2-3 thousand more of an inch compare to a mil spec take down pins. Great product. I would buy it again.

    Take down pin slop

    Published by Jeff on 23rd Mar 2022

    My new build had a slight bit of movement. Not at all excessive. Ordered these pins, the front didn’t seem any different but the rear pin did seem tighter and eliminated movement. I’m happy with the result.

    DIMPLED TAKEDOWN PIN SET FOR AR-15

    Published by BobR on 24th Jan 2022

    I bought these little magical pins to reduce the play from the rear takedown pin hole on a Griffin lower receiver... Before ordering these I tried 3 or 4 other brands I already had however they did not improve the somewhat loose fit... Upon getting these from Griffin I installed them and they were PERFECT... From now on I plan on using these pins on all my builds... Also, Griffin processed the order very fast and I had the order in 4 days... THANK YOU GRIFFIN...

    Dimpled Takedown Pins

    Published by Anon on 22nd Dec 2021

    They didn't quite take out all of the wiggle in my upper and lower, but they're definitely better quality than the ones I had before, and they're alot tighter overall, so they're staying in my rifle even after I used other methods to fix my problem.

    Awesome!

    The standard that should be used in all your AR builds. Improves fit between upper and lower from various manufacturers.

    After looking all over the place for oversized pins I found these. They took the the slop right out of the upper and lower.

    Pretty Standard

    Published by Tuan N on 3rd Apr 2021

    I just got these pins today, hoping to snug up a receiver set and replace the lantac pins, turns out the lantac pins fit tighter than these, but they are tighter fitting than Strike Ind. Pins, I give them 3 stars because I had higher expectations for fitment, but still a very nice set of pins good for any build.

    Perfect Fit

    Published by Evan on 2nd Mar 2021

    If you’re looking for something to make your upper fit tighter to the lower, these are it! Made my upper fit seamlessly.
