[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Battle Arms Development Enhanced Pins Set (Page 5 of 5)

We are working on them. The specs for AR10 and SR25 type 7.62mm receivers are different, so we need to make both versions

I bought a set of these pins when they first came out, I was on the fence about them but they've been an excellent add on.
The play in these pins over stock is barely noticeable. If you like to stare at your rifle and wiggle it, these pins are not for you. If you actually shoot your rifle and want to be able to field strip it quickly without tool, give em a try.

Will these work. On a maten

SR25 and AR10 spec pins are under development, the current version is for AR15/M16

Have these on my newest build and am really liking them. A little too pricey to start replacing all my rifles but new builds will definitely get them.

Lol I was about to say that there were some pics that Tom leaked that validate my comment earlier. By the way, those were prototypes, not the production, Spikes Tactical exclusive version.

Our R&D on LW components started far earlier than that though.

Oohh! Titanium grip screws? Any ETA?

The ones pictures aren't for sale (too limited in number, and they're spoken for), but we've talked about it internally, and decided to make them available later.

What we can say about these components is they're not piecemeal effort, but not much beyond that

Thank you Musty Yeti's Tactical HQ for the pics

When those AR-10 pins come out, please post it up in the new products section.

I have two sets of the AR-15 enhanced pins and three of the ambi safeties. Love them!

Just let me know, or put me down for a set now.

Can do, thank you for your support!

Though not specifically designed for it, the EPS also works on the Smith & Wesson MP15-22. MP15-22 receiver is thicker and requires its own selector center.

The 0.030" extra length is absorbed by the MP15-22's thicker receiver, there's still enough of it protruding from the left side of the receiver to work well on it

I installed a set of the EPS on an SBR build on Easter Sunday. It could not have been easier unless they jumped in themselves. Going back to a regular set......yeah, no. Excellent product, great aesthetics, fantastic engineering...yup, I'll be getting more. Alone with the EPS I installed a Battlecomp and the selector. All of them fit like a glove and look great. Keep up the good work!

Love these. I have 2 sets. All we're missing is a lightweight version in titanium or aluminum. Doing a lightweight build and I'm massively tempted by the LW options out there. At the same time, being a repeat buyer, I recognize the incredible engineering and useful features the EPS brings to the table.

Of course my preferred solution would be a LW EPS, and I would give up the little magnet installation trick for the privledge!

Just for you, Protoculture

54% of the weight of steel EPS, these are prototypes.

No - that distinct grey color is NOT just for him.

A slew of light weight components have been either created from scratch, and when possible, significantly lightened versions of existing products. The LW effort is in support of the OIP (Ounce is Pounds) LW AR project . The OIP rifle has a weight objective, all the components have been optimized for weight while retaining their durability and reliability.

LW EPS is but one of them, we'll hopefully be able to show you the last prototypes soon. Other than material changes which result in 46% reduction in weight, there's but one difference between the two aesthetically (think of it as the AMG version of Mercedes, it looks just slightly different)

YES!!!

I don't think I am going on a limb to suggest that these will be THE BEST on the market BAR NONE!

Other companies have lightweight components, but Battle Arms Development is the only company I know who puts so much thought and engineering into the smallest of products. Now take BAD's engineering PLUS lightweight and you have the ultimate! Oh yes, these will be mine...

We are sourcing the instruction cards for the retail LW EPS. We'd show more of the prototype pins but they only bear a passing resemblance to the final product, so we'll wait till when we have the real thing that can be ordered from Rainier Arms

Thanks Zero7one for the pic

SR25 PINS DAG GUMMIT!

Get those out first, then pump out the lightweight stuff. I think people need to get over the lightweight craze and pick up a dumbbell.

The LW pins are in support of the OIP (ounce is pounds) project, and that started in the summer of 2013, before the release of AR15 spec EPS

We will get the SR25 and AR10 spec pins done (they are different diameters)

I'm noticing in some pics that some lowers have dimpled trigger and hammer pins. Anyone got a source for these?

Posted: 5/18/2014 7:05:41 AM EDT

[#30]

Geisssele triggers come with those

These dimples match up well, though we didn't design ours to match them specifically. They were designed to accommodate not only a 5.56mm bullet tip, but 7.62mm as well (up to 9mm can be used), the shape of the dimple is such that a small caliber bullet will not rattle around inside it, but automatically center (the dimple is cone shaped).

Great product! I just used these pins on my second AR build. It would have been great to have them on my first build. It looks like I will be retrofitting my first build with this genius product. Job well done gentlemen!!!
