These are so good that I'm thinking about taking the old ones out of my other AR and replacing them with these. So much better to grab ahold of these and just pull on them. Shipping was fast so that's a good thing.

Seems to be well made. Nicely finished. No rough edges or mars in the surface. The description says, "hardened steel and plated". Not sure what the plating is? Looks like plain, blued steel to me? Fit smoothly on my lower build. Matches well with the mag catch assembly, as well as the anti-walk pins and bolt catch. Looks like everything will produce an excellent finished product. This is my daughter's rifle and she requested the extended pins. I am not sure that I would choose the extended pins for my rifles? They are handy and make for an easy take-down. However, the rear take down pin does interfere slightly with my usage of the ambi safety. Also, I prefer to have as few protrusions from my rifle as possible, because I have found them to catch on everything (branches, vines, clothing, web gear, etc). My daughter will be doing mostly benchrest and LR shooting, so this should not be an issue for her. This is obviously not the extended pin's fault, I'm just not sure of the design for my personal preference? They went together easily, snug fit. If you do not have an AR build set up, be sure to order the pins with the install tools! The ONLY reason that I cannot give this 5 stars, is that after 2-1/2 months I am still waiting for an upper. It was estimated to be shipped 6 weeks ago, and I cannot complete my build and test fire the finished product until I receive the upper.

It's about ease of use and swapping out and breaking down uppers & lowers. NOR practical because on the right side of the lower the prongs stick out too much if your looking for a race gun or fast manipulation. Built well, works just not for a 3 gun or anyone with long fingers and who does not want obstruction of finger manipulation and speed.

Used these on a few builds but just realized these will not fit on a DD v7. Like these alot when they fit right but annoying when a manufacturer changes sizes and cuts so you cant add little part upgrades like these.

Needed a set for a new build and these were on sale. Have had very good luck with XTS parts so I grabbed a few for spares while I was at it. These are well made, have all parts needed, fit and finish are nice, and the price was great!

Haven’t installed it yet but item is very well made. I don’t doubt it would serve its purpose very very well. I would order again for future projects and recommend it.
