    No kidding. I ordered a set on a Sunday morning and received a shipping notice very soon after. By far some of the best customer service and products in the business.

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

    Mine arrived today and they are everything people have said about them. Very easy to take down my rifle now. Another satisfied customer.

    These will be standard on our rifles and carbines, optional with our lowers.

    The EPS is an evolutionary approach to ergonomics on simple pins, if your upper and lower receivers don't require a tool (a bullet is a tool) to break open, you might not really need them. The EPS is easier to push in and pull out, and more tolerant of mixed and mismatched uppers and lowers. While they may not be upgrades everyone needs, we deem they should be standard on every lower (and they will be on Battle Arms Dev. ARs).

    They are the second last thing we had to complete for a Battle Arms LPK, the last thing is in development and will go to rapid prototype soon

    Duffy, Will B.A.D. be offering the takedown/pivot detent pins and springs separately like they do for the selector detents and springs?

    This is what raises my eyebrows. Between that and the receivers, there is a lot to look forward to from B.A.D.

    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.
    I may have to try again since I ended up scratching mine and shedding a tear.


    Roger,

    I have a 17s to test for you
