Strike Industries
Overview
The Strike Industries AR-15 Ultra Light Pivot and Takedown Pins in FDE are designed to provide a lightweight solution for securing your upper and lower receivers. Made from durable 7075-T6 aluminum, these pins minimize weight without sacrificing strength, making them ideal for builders focused on optimizing their rifle's performance. You’ll often find these pins in mid-length gas system builds chambered in 5.56 NATO, where every ounce counts.

Strike Industries AR-15 Ultra Light Pivot / Takedown Pins - FDE was the second most added takedown pin on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the CMMG AR-15 HD Pivot and Takedown Pin Parts KIT - 55AFF3B, with about 14% of all takedown pins added to builds. That's its 4th straight month at #2. Builds with this takedown pin are split between 5.56 NATO (50%) and 300 Blackout (33%), split between pistol-length (50%) and mid-length (25%) gas systems, and mostly AR-15 (76%, then AR-10 24%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 7 of the 8 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $13.99, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $13.99 at Ammunition Depot, which matches the best price we saw in August.
