Strike Industries Ultra Light Pivot/Takedown Pins

The Strike Industries Ultra Light pins are the lightweight, color-forward cousin of the steel SI-AR-EPTP set. They are machined from hard-anodized aluminum instead of steel, trimming a few grams off the lower for builders chasing a lightweight or competition rifle where every fraction of an ounce in the build budget counts. The extended heads carry over from the steel set, so you keep tool-free takedown.

The other draw is color. The Ultra Light pins come in black, flat dark earth, blue, and red, making them an easy accent on a themed or two-tone build where steel-only options leave you with black. For an anodized lower that already has color accents, matching the pins is a cheap finishing touch.

The honest tradeoff is durability. Aluminum pins are not as hard-wearing as steel and are better suited to a range, competition, or safe-queen build than a hard-use duty carbine that gets broken down on concrete. If weight savings and color are the priority, the Ultra Light set delivers both for the same sub-sixteen-dollar price as the steel version; if maximum durability matters, step to the steel SI-AR-EPTP or Battle Arms set.
