The Battle Arms Enhanced Aluminum Takedown Pin Set in FDE is a pivot and takedown pin pair for AR15/M16/M4 lowers, finished in flat dark earth anodizing (brand part no. BADEPSALFDE). Battle Arms Development machines it from 7075-T6 aluminum for builders who want the pins to match a tan or FDE build. The heads are low profile and, according to the maker, give a better gripping surface and pull strength without oversized heads, and the takedown pin head does not block the right-side lever of an ambidextrous safety selector. It is a small change that tidies the lower and replaces the standard pins in one step.

Key Specifications

• The pins are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, a strong, light alloy for a pin set that carries the lower’s pivot and takedown loads.
• The finish is FDE (flat dark earth) anodized, so the pins match a build in that color instead of the standard black.
• The set fits AR15/M16/M4 lowers with the mil-spec .250-inch diameter front pivot and rear takedown pin holes.
• The low-profile pin heads create less drag than mil-spec heads and stay out of the way.
• The extended pin tips run 0.030 inch longer than mil-spec, which helps start and push the pins out from the left side of the receiver.
• A bullet tip guide, a cone-shaped recess at both pin tips, helps keep a bullet tip or tool from slipping and marring the receiver.
• The EZ Guide Channel on the pivot pin gives assisted installation so detents and springs are not lost during the swap.
• The set includes a takedown pin, a pivot pin, two KNS hardened stainless steel detents and two 17-7 nickel-plated stainless steel pin springs.
