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 / Takedown Pins - Black ranked #22 of the 66 takedown pins builders added on GunPartPicker in August 2026. Builders have been adding it to their builds on GunPartPicker since February 2026. All time, it ranks #29 of the 120 takedown pins builders have added. Builds with this takedown pin are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (67%, then 300 Blackout 33%), split between pistol-length (33%) and mid-length (33%) gas systems, and mostly AR-15 (75%, then AR-10 25%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 4 of the 5 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $14.95, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $14.95 at BattleHawk Armory, which matches the best price we saw in August.

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.
