Strike Industries
Overview
The Strike Industries Ultra Light Pivot and Takedown Pins are designed to streamline your AR-15 build while enhancing functionality. Made from durable 7075-T6 aluminum, these lightweight pins help reduce overall weight without sacrificing strength, allowing for easier disassembly and maintenance. Commonly found in builds with a pistol gas system and chambered in 5.56 NATO, they provide a reliable solution for builders looking to optimize their setup.
Strike Industries Ultra Light Pivot / Takedown Pins - Blue ranked #13 of the 66 takedown pins builders added on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the LBE Unlimited AR-15 Takedown And Pivot Pin Set - ARTDPP, with about 2% of all takedown pins added to builds. Up from #16 in July. Builds with this takedown pin are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (83%, then 300 Blackout 17%), mostly on mid-length gas (60%, then pistol-length 20%), and mostly AR-15 (78%, then AR-10 11%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today all 5 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $15.95, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $15.95 at Palmetto State Armory, which matches the best price we saw in August.
