    More than once I've seen a local smith get a straight piece of spring with a diameter big enough to fill the channel. Pulls the rear pin halfway out, slide in the spring in the groove. Wiggle it around to get it under the detent. Rotate the takedown pin so the groove is away from detent. Slide in a piece of round stock that's snug in the pin hole. Slowly push out the pin with the round stock. Take the new pin and push out the piece of stock. Make sure the detent is engaged by trying to rotate the pin.
    A little while back I watched him do at least 4 in a row in minutes. At the time it was for the Noveske marked pins, that some guys needed to make their rifles faster.

    Hi Nate

    For those that have seen Nate's video on the EPS (the one we actually sent to dealers before it went public on YouTube), Nate is a good friend of mine, and a good friend of Battle Arms. I've always asked him to give me the good, bad, and ugly without reservation, the same we ask of all testers regardless of our friendship, for they must remain impartial and frank.

    We talked about the merits of including the detents and springs, Nate was a big proponent of their inclusion. Initially, the detents and springs were going to be optional. The reasoning behind it is for folks that already have them, they might not want to pay for them, and we need to keep the retail cost down.

    After reports came back from testers, we have decided to include them for reasons mentioned previously: the elimination of variables (different lengths springs, variable quality and shape of the detent tips), and preemption of loss of launched detents)

    Testers like Nate have lots to do with the production retail version we see today

    Re: the EMR, I think you guys will like what you see. There will be more than one version

    I got mine from ROG Tactical, very fast shipping. I have not installed them on my lower build yet but the build quality and feel is very nice just out of the box

    Like the pins, but don't understand the flat cut in the head of the rear pin??? It's not like you can't start the pin by pushing it from the other side. It's keeping me from buying a few sets actually...

    The flat cut is pretty self explanatory. Just makes it eadier to get your nail under it to pull. Even when I push it from the left side my sausage fingers can't get a decent purchase on the head unless I get a little extra space. Its the one feature that got me too purchase a set.
