V Seven Ti AR 15 PIVOT TAKEDOWN PINS TPS AR15 BLK UPC 177777100353
Product Description
The V Seven Weapon Systems® Titanium AR-15 Pivot and Takedown Pin Set in IonBond Black (SKU: TPS-AR15-BLK / UPC: 177777100353) is a master-tier receiver hardware upgrade engineered for discerning armorers, competitive marksmen, and tactical operators building high-performance, lightweight carbines. Replacing heavy factory mil-spec carbon steel pins with aerospace-grade Grade 5 titanium, this matching pin set delivers substantial weight savings, exceptional shear strength, and absolute lifetime corrosion immunity.
Precision CNC-machined in the United States from certified, heat-treated Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium bar stock, this set provides an approximate 45% weight reduction over standard steel components, tipping the scales at a feathery 8 grams (0.28 oz) for the complete pair. Unlike aluminum receiver pins that risk galling, shearing, or bending under violent cycling and drop impacts, Grade 5 titanium possesses higher tensile and yield strength than standard ordnance steel, ensuring rigid upper-to-lower receiver lockup across tens of thousands of takedown cycles.
Both pins are finished in a state-of-the-art IonBond Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) matte black PVD coating. This molecularly bonded surface treatment provides extreme surface hardness, a remarkably slick coefficient of friction, and impenetrable resistance to corrosive skin sweat, heavy rain, and harsh bore cleaning chemicals. Machined to true mil-spec 0.250-inch diameters with precision-ground detent grooves and dimpled flush-profile heads, the TPS-AR15-BLK provides smooth, snag-free takedown operation without interfering with ambidextrous bolt catches or safety selectors.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Direct drop-in fitment for all standard mil-spec AR-15, M4, and M16 forged and billet lower receivers with 0.250" pin holes. CRITICAL: Will NOT fit large-frame AR-10 / LR-308 / SR-25 receivers (requires V Seven 308-specific pin sets) or vintage Colt 0.315" large-pin lowers. Installation note: Use an AR-15 pivot pin installation tool or a 1/4" clevis pin to depress the forward pivot detent and spring to prevent detent launch and avoid scratching the lower receiver anodizing.
- Ensure the host lower receiver is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty.
- Install the rear takedown pin detent and spring from the rear of the lower receiver, align the detent track of the V Seven titanium takedown pin, and secure by installing the receiver end plate and buffer tube.
- Insert the pivot pin spring and detent into the front receiver channel; compress the detent using a dedicated pivot pin install tool or 1/4" roll-pin punch.
- Slide the V Seven titanium pivot pin into the front receiver lugs from the left side, rotating until the detent clicks securely into the internal retention track.
- Mate the upper receiver to the lower, push both pins into the closed position, and confirm smooth pin engagement, crisp detent lockup, and rigid receiver lockup prior to live-fire staging.
