The Strike Industries ARULEPTPFDE Ultra Light Takedown and Pivot Pins transform standard AR-15 disassembly from a tedious process requiring tools into a quick, tool-free operation. These aluminum pins feature an enlarged head design that allows shooters to push out pins by hand, eliminating the need for punches or multi-tools during field maintenance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard mil-spec pins that require hammering with punches, these ultra-light pins incorporate an extended head with textured grip surfaces. The design reduces pin weight by approximately 40% compared to standard steel pins while maintaining structural integrity. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and matches popular FDE furniture and accessories.

Field maintenance becomes significantly faster with these pins, particularly beneficial for competitive shooters who need quick barrel changes or tactical users requiring rapid cleaning between stages. The lightweight aluminum construction appeals to precision rifle builders focused on reducing overall weapon weight. The pins maintain proper headspace and lockup while allowing repeated disassembly without wear on the receiver's pin holes.
