The Breakthrough Clean Technologies AR-15 Pivot Lock (part no. BT-PL) solves a small but genuine annoyance during cleaning: keeping the upper and lower receivers open at the pivot pin without a hand holding them apart. This simple tool locks the action in the open position, freeing both hands to run a brush or patch through the receiver and bolt carrier group. It’s built specifically for the AR-15 platform’s pivot pin geometry, so it seats securely without extra adjustment. Breakthrough designed the Pivot Lock as a small addition to any cleaning kit that pays off every time a rifle comes apart for maintenance. It’s an inexpensive tool that makes a routine cleaning session noticeably easier.
