The Strike Industries ARULEPTPRE Ultra Light Takedown/Pivot Pins transform standard AR-15 maintenance with tool-free disassembly and enhanced durability. These precision-machined aluminum pins eliminate the need for punches or specialized tools during field stripping and cleaning operations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard mil-spec pins that require hammering out with punches, these ultra-light pins feature integrated pull rings for instant removal by hand. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction weighs 60% less than steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under repeated cycling. Type III hard anodizing provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard phosphate coatings.
Key Features
- Tool-free removal system with integrated pull rings eliminates punch marks and receiver damage
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction reduces weight by approximately 0.3 ounces over steel pins
- Type III hard anodized finish in red provides enhanced corrosion protection
- Precision machined to mil-spec dimensions for drop-in compatibility with all AR-15 platforms
- Captive design prevents accidental loss during disassembly procedures
- Heat-treated aluminum core maintains structural strength under high round counts
- Low-profile design maintains standard upper/lower receiver fit tolerances
Field testing demonstrates reliable function through thousands of cycles without pin deformation or finish wear. The anodized surface resists scratching from repeated handling while the aluminum material eliminates concerns about steel pin expansion in aluminum receivers. Competition shooters benefit from rapid breakdown between stages, while military and law enforcement users appreciate quick cleaning access during extended operations.
