All T&E units went out today.
We'll post more in depth pictures before we're ready to release them, I don't want to get folks fired up only to find out they can't buy them yet On the take down pin, we made four changes. On the pivot pin, we made five changes, including a patent pending feature that makes installation very easy. Someone was dubious on how we were able to "enhance" the pins, my answer was that maybe because these pins have been long neglected since they do the job asked of them, few companies have spent a lot of time and money to further develop them. Over engineered? Perhaps. To us, these are sensible, ergonomic and human finger friendly. We've never considered good enough all that good. Like our selectors, a grass root movement is under way, for it is not easy to tell just how they're better until you've installed them and used them Our selectors took a few months before users started to recognize the changes we made to a oft-neglected part, however minute they may seem, are not there by coincidence |

Are these going to be available through BAD only/initially, or should I keep an eye on distributors when they come out?
I'm dying waiting for these to come out. The BAD lower and BCM rail are my two most anticipated parts right now for my next build. I already have a couple of ASSes waiting for future builds to happen. |

When we announce them, some dealers will have them in stock, we won't be the only place where they can be purchased

I received my T&E pins yesterday and they are a winner! The front pivot pin can be installed with NO tools, guaranteeing no more flying detents! GENIUS!
These pins should be standard on EVERY AR-15 lower by every manufacturer. If you don't get a set when they are released you will be cheating yourself. Also, the 45* selector is a MUST have. Thank you Battle Arms Development! Speed is Life! |

is there going to be more than style of pins? two different sets?

SecretSquirell,
The angled flat between 1 and 2 o'clock isn't meant for the finger nail There is no way to get a finger nail there and pull i (without the pin having been pushed in from the left first), and even then, the flat serves to provide more surface and better grabbing area for the fingers to pull on, AFTER the pin has been pushed in all the way from the left, to the right side of the receiver. The position of the angled flat was hotly debated in development. I found myself grabbing a few different areas, and others do do. Between 1 and 2 o'clock was deemed to be the more common position, but if you grab the "mushroom head" from other positions, there's the knurling on the rest of the circumference. Re: styles, the pins will come in different finishes, but the styles will probably not see significant changes We're planning on sourcing the pin detents from KNS, and there'll be springs too. Both will be optional items when purchasing, they will not be standard (included) equipment. |

On regular rear takedown pins, they usually have to be relieved for them to fit. Look at this thread for some pics (one you even replied in no less, albeit a long time ago) - my experience is like jhud's experience from the thread: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_23/329543_Any_pics_of_a_installed_KNS_non_rotating_sear_pin__.html -bob |

I have used one of those KNS sear pins in use with a regular take down pin, I didn't need to relief the factory pin any

Got 3 lowers that will be getting these once they are available. Can't wait to see how this EPP installs. That is always my least favorite part of building a lower. |

Duffy, a feature request for the lowers - drill and tap them for an optional tension screw. Those that want to use one can, and those that don't can ignore it.
The pins look great! |

It's probably too late to make suggestions, but a few other features that would be great are screw in bolt catch for ease of installment/cleaning and any ambi features you guys can get in a forging. Or the options to pre-order a custom serial #.

Tension screw, captive take down pin/spring, and bolt catch screws were all things we considered. The first release will be standard receivers that use standard parts, extra features will make their way to the forged receivers shortly

We need to balance what's included and the cost of the ETP and EPP, to include two detents and two springs would drive the price up, so they'll be optional for those that want them

We've decided to include two springs and two detents with the pin sets. As there are variables at play, at least we can eliminate two of them, the third variable is the receiver, namely, the depth of the receiver's spring/detent hole depth for the pivot pin :)
