Description
The Radian Weapons Take Down Pin Set is a direct replacement for the standard AR15/M16 takedown and pivot pins, aimed at shooters who want smoother, more reliable upper-to-lower separation without fighting stiff or poorly fitted hardware. Both pins are precision CNC machined from steel and finished in black nitride, which bonds to the surface at a molecular level rather than sitting on top of it — the result is a finish that resists wear and corrosion at the contact points where bare metal would otherwise get worked down over time.
The more practical design detail is in the detents and springs included in the kit. The detents are captured to their springs, meaning the spring and detent travel as a single unit rather than as two separate parts that can fly across a workbench or range table during installation. On a standard pivot pin assembly, the detent and spring are independent, which makes seating the pivot pin an exercise in frustration. Capturing them eliminates that problem and makes the installation considerably more straightforward.
Each pin also features a dimpled end sized to accept a cartridge tip for push-out when needed, and a fingernail groove that allows removal without tools under normal use. These are small details, but they reflect the kind of considered engineering that makes a difference when you are clearing a malfunction or breaking down a rifle in less-than-ideal conditions. The kit is compatible with standard mil-spec AR15 and M16 receivers, so fitment is not a concern on any platform built to those dimensions.
