Strike Industries
Overview
The Strike Industries Extended Pivot and Takedown Pins are designed to provide builders with a more accessible and user-friendly method for disassembling their AR-15s. Made from durable steel, the extended design offers better grip and leverage when removing the upper receiver from the lower, making maintenance and modifications easier. These pins are commonly found in builds featuring a mid-length gas system in 5.56 NATO caliber, where ease of access and reliability are essential.

Strike Industries extended pivot and takedown pin set in black has larger heads for faster takedown. Detent grooves are correctly cut. Anodize is even matte black. The heads are noticeably oversized but not absurdly large. Quality drop-in upgrade.
Strike Industries extended pivot and takedown pin set in black works as advertised - larger heads for faster takedown. Price is slightly steep for what is essentially two pins. Detent grooves are correctly cut. Drop in fitment in any milspec lower.
