REAL AVID AR15 PIVOT PIN TOOL. How to use.

[@richardfrost7575]

You just found a way to take all the fun out of it, especially if you're doing it on the back porch near the grass. Good video. I didn't know this tool existed, thank you.

[@BrettPlaysWithGuns]

Haha we used to call it "going swimming" and I'd have m249 springs going flying

[@BrettPlaysWithGuns]

Simple, concise, no frills. Continue to Camp blanding for certificates 🎉

[@donaldduck4867]

It’s even harder to find a detent when it shoots over your fence and ends up somewhere on your neighbor’s roof! Yeah. That happened to me!😂😂😂

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Fact!!!! I swear those things go into orbit when they launch!

[@ljhranicka1207]

Nice tool, I've always use the 1/4 clevis pin.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Yeah decent cheap tool, lots of ways to do it without.

[@tonkashouse]

This is the best video on how to put in the front pivot pin on all of KZbin

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Thank you! I try!

[@lazor222]

Quick, simple, and clear. Good video explaining it and great little tool.

[@floridamusician9219]

Excellent demonstration, thanks!

[@3KindsOfGuns]

You're welcome!

[@OhmsLaw43]

I just received mine today. I’ve been using a flat brass picture hanger to hold the detent in while putting the pivot pin in. This will be so much easier

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Not a bad idea.

[@8ch6d]

I'm using the clevis pin method. Gotten so use to it but this would've bee nice before I launched a few detents into the next zip code.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Yup, helps keep you as an armorer and not a NASA employee.

[@jeffcooper5789]

It takes the excitement out of this.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Ha!

[@ninjarudeboy]

hmm, would this be handy for removing detents as well?

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Yes, controls the tension release on the spring.

[@dummgelauft]

Yup. Always lineup the groove

[@FlamingRobzilla]

Thanks. After a frustrating day I broke down and purchased the tool from Amazon, but it didn't come with any instructions. Until I saw your video it didn't occur to me to pivot the tool up 45 degrees after compressing the spring/detente, and before inserting the take down pin. Before I got the tool I had lost two detentes and ruined one spring trying to muscle that little bastard into place. Great tool, totally worth the money, but a little instruction sheet should have come with it. BTW Amazon sells a spring kit that also comes with all the detentes, pins, etc. No fire control group however. Good thing to know. Thanks again for the video.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Happy to help!!

[@FlamingRobzilla]

@@3KindsOfGuns I appreciate it.

[@stevenwagner9912]

I've lost so many detents I don't have any trouble finding one. Sort of a detent floor covering in my work shop. Arthritis makes working with detents a b.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

I imagine so.

[@paularce596]

Followed your video step by step. Too easy. Very helpful video.

[@scragbyterc1059]

There is no chasing detents only replacing them. 💯

[@thinkmegatv]

Wish I could like this video 100 times myself

[@efreutel]

Great presentation. Many thanks 🙏

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Thanks!!

[@josephmaxwell3490]

Thanks, I needed this information.

[@BrettPlaysWithGuns]

I like this thing, it makes it so much easier. They wouldn't even give us the shit when I worked in the government, I had to order it on my own

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Yeah, that's normal. Governed doesn't care.

[@scottshipley7376]

Dear lord that's AWESOME

[@caseyberning7789]

Where the hell was this thing when I started building?? Lol. Now I wonder if they have one for AR10s

[@3KindsOfGuns]

It works well.

[@g2145cal]

I used the long pivot pin with the ring at the end (remove ring) from the 5D Tactical jig pro.

[@toddbernal2183]

Any tips for removal?

[@3KindsOfGuns]

If you don't have the tool I'm talking about in the video, a dental pick is certainly helpful, but a safety pin works as well to compress the detent.

[@glasswinder]

Thanks for that, it's a good thing to have.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

I agree!

[@DaveE7171]

Great video. Love this tool. Thanks!

[@menthuwarriorgunclub6749]

Thank You

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Happy to help!

[@Tonymontanayayo]

Not too brag…. But on my first AR built I put both pivot pins while on the phone with only a metal toothpick hook…. It was so easy. Now installing the trigger…. Uuugghhhh I felt like giving up on that. Took me a whole night to cool off and finish

[@3KindsOfGuns]

I understand

[@russdennis7026]

Will this work for an AR-10 lower?

[@3KindsOfGuns]

No.

[@kc2shw]

Mine didnt go in the same way yours did but at least the pin didnt take off and i did NOT have to swear like a drunken pissed off sailor.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

I'm only occasionally a drunken pissed off Sailor.

[@andyd2960]

I just use a flat piece of steel I took out of an old windshield wiper. Works great as long as you know what you are doing.

[@dougsnavely847]

Yep, I use a dull pocket knife my dad gave me millions of years ago...

[@wanderingronin305]

fantastic

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Thanks!

[@scragbyterc1059]

I’m sold

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Good!

[@tomorlowski7236]

nice

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Yup, neat little tool that works.

[@krasht1]

All you need is a 1/4 inch clevis pin from Home Depot, (about $2.50) and a small drift punch. Works the same way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2ino3l7edxmpdk

[@3KindsOfGuns]

fact, that will work too.

[@8ch6d]

I use the same technique. A clevis pin and punch is all you need.

[@3KindsOfGuns]

Yup, that works.
