Frequently Asked Questions
Will these pins fit any AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The Strike Industries Ultra Light Takedown and Pivot Pins are machined to mil-spec dimensions and are compatible with the vast majority of standard AR-15 lower receivers. They are not designed for AR-10, LR-308, or other large-frame platforms, which use a different pin diameter.
Are aluminum takedown and pivot pins as strong as steel?
7075 aircraft-grade aluminum — the same alloy used in mil-spec upper and lower receivers — offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and is more than adequate for the load these pins bear during normal use. While steel is harder, the takedown and pivot pins on an AR-15 are not high-stress components, making billet 7075 aluminum a proven and reliable alternative for shooters focused on weight reduction.
Do I need any special tools to install these pins?
No special tools are required. The Strike Industries Ultra Light pins are a direct drop-in replacement for your existing takedown and pivot pins. Simply remove your old pins using a punch if necessary, and install the new ones. The extended EPTP grasping surface is specifically designed to make this process even easier during field disassembly.
