The Strike Industries ARULEPTPBL Ultra Light Takedown and Pivot Pins transform standard AR-15 maintenance into a tool-free operation. These precision-machined aluminum pins eliminate the need for punches and hammers during field stripping and cleaning. The distinctive blue anodized finish provides both corrosion resistance and visual identification.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard mil-spec pins that require tools for removal, these ultra-light pins feature oversized heads with knurled grips for finger operation. The weight reduction compared to steel pins helps optimize the rifle's balance point. Each pin incorporates a spring-loaded detent system that prevents accidental removal while ensuring positive retention during normal operation.
