Are AR-15 takedown pins universal?

Most aftermarket AR-15 takedown pins are designed to fit mil-spec lower receivers and are compatible with most AR-15 platforms.

Do I need tools to install takedown pins?

Many enhanced pins are designed for tool-free installation and removal, especially those with EZ pull or extended heads.

What’s the difference between a takedown and a pivot pin?

The takedown pin secures the rear of the AR-15 receiver, while the pivot pin secures the front. Both are included in most pin sets.

Are extended pins better than standard ones?

Extended or EZ pull pins make disassembly easier, especially with gloves or during field use, and reduce the need for tools.
