    Really happy with the set I bought for my DD v7. Like others have said I dig the small details; concave ends, finger slot etc.
    Nicely done.

    As far as replacing the takedown pin.
    1. I used a dental pick, put the pin in half out state, so plunger is not in the detent, pry plunger clear of takedown pin channel.
    2. When plunger is clear of channel, I spun the takedown pin.
    3. I installed the pivot pin I just exchanged from the front as a "slave" pin from the other side (left side) to hold back the plunger.

    Note; I made sure to hold the takedown pin and pivot pin tightly together as they passed the plunger, and I made sure the pivot pin's channel wouldn't line up with the plunger.

    4. With the pivot pin holding the plunger I put the new takedown pin in the hole and pushed them back through. Making sure the channel lined up with the plunger.


    Lots of details and directions for 60 seconds of effort. No scratches, no cussing, no need to re-stake my Colt castle nut.

    The dental pick was what made it easy, as well as making sure the takedown pin wasn't fully out so the pin would be seated in the detent. In the channel it is easy to get under, then just spin it and the takedown pin holds it for you. I also assume most of us do the front pivot pin first, so you have the old one sitting there, perfect for use as a slave pin.

    Oh, by the way.
    I concur with everyone else, they are terrific. I can't believe how such simple modifications can make something this much better.

    I have been using the Watson brand extended takedown pin on the rear and stock on the front. These look nice. And from the first hand accounts I am sold. Going to order a set and then maybe a couple more.

    Thank you gents!

    This is a customer provided picture of the ETP (take down pin) that's been pushed in from the left side of the receiver, where the 0.030" extra length comes into play:



    The profile of the pin is lower than factory. Had it been the same convex shape of the factory pin, it still would not have interfered with the operation of the ambidextrous selector's right lever.

    Talking SLOW SHIPPING

    Based on the reviews, I ordered a couple of sets this morning, and it took EIGHT MINUTES from the time I ordered until I received a tracking number.

    That has to be the fastest response that I have had from any company.

    We do try to get the order shipped quickly. We're consumers ourselves, we appreciate fast processing and shipping, and getting our hands on our loot as quickly as possible.

    As we grow larger and the volume of orders increases as it has been, we are still able to ship on the same day in most cases, the next day if the order comes in too late for a drop off.

    We don't compete on price point, but on quality, innovation and service. Along with the level of customer service, warranty and product quality, these are characteristics we will always strive to maintain and improve on if we can.
