BattleGear™ AR-15 Pivot Pin Tool
A compact .223/5.56 lower receiver assembly aid for installing AR-15 pivot and takedown pins with better control.
The BattleGear™ AR-15 Pivot Pin Tool helps hold the detent spring and detent in place while you rotate the fixture and seat the pivot pin. It is built for armorers, hobby builders, and maintenance benches where small springs and detents are easy to launch across the room.
Key Features
Designed to simplify one of the most frustrating lower receiver assembly steps, this tool gives you a controlled way to compress the spring and detent before sliding the pin into position.
Cleaner Pivot Pin Installation
✔️ AR-15 Lower Assembly Aid: Helps install the front pivot pin and takedown-style detent/spring components.
