Forward Controls Design extended takedown pins in ODG are 10/10. Larger heads make breakdown fast. Detent grooves are precisely cut so pins stop where they should. ODG matches Magpul OD close enough. Top tier pin set.
Forward Controls Design extended takedown pins in ODG match my Magpul OD parts close enough. Larger heads make breakdown faster. Detent grooves are precisely cut so pins stop at the right position. Standard mil-spec install.
