Frequently Asked Questions
Will these pins fit my non-CMMG LR-308 pattern rifle?
Yes — these pins are designed for the LR-308 pattern, which is a widely adopted standard used by many manufacturers including DPMS, Palmetto State Armory, Aero Precision, and others building large-frame .308 AR-style rifles. As long as your rifle follows the LR-308 pattern, these pins should drop in without modification. They are not compatible with standard AR-15 or mil-spec 5.56 lower receivers, which use smaller-diameter pins.
How does the bullet-tip divot work, and do I need a special tool?
The divot machined into each end of the pin is sized to accept the tip of a standard rifle or pistol cartridge. Simply press the bullet tip into the divot and push the pin through — no dedicated punch, tool, or disassembly tool is needed. This feature is especially useful in the field where tools may not be available, allowing for fast and confident takedown without the risk of the improvised tool slipping and scratching your receiver.
Are these pins a permanent replacement or an upgrade I can remove later?
These are a direct, permanent-style drop-in replacement for your existing takedown and pivot pins — though "permanent" simply means they seat in the same way as factory pins and are fully removable at any time. There is no adhesive, threading, or irreversible modification involved. You can swap them in or out as needed, making them a low-risk, high-reward upgrade for any LR-308 platform owner.
