Enhanced AR-15 Pivot & Takedown Pin Set, Titanium Finish | Low-Profile Heads + EZ Install
This is one of those “small part, big quality-of-life upgrade” kits. You’re replacing the factory pivot and takedown pins with a Grade 5 titanium setup that’s lighter, easier to grab, and built with smart details that make disassembly smoother—without giant goofy pin heads hanging off your rifle.
The kit includes the enhanced titanium pins plus upgraded detents and springs, so you’re not doing a half-fix.
