Overview

Strike Industries Ultra Light pivot and takedown pins in black would buy again. Lighter than mil-spec steel without compromising function. Detent grooves correctly cut. Black anodize is matte. Drops in any milspec lower with the standard springs.
Strike Industries Ultra Light pivot and takedown pins in black are noticeably lighter than mil-spec steel pins. Detent grooves are cut correctly. Anodize is matte black. Pricey for two pins but the weight savings on a build adds up.
