Most Helpful Positive Review Works great.
I use these in all my AR's now. Fits somewhat loose but that's the point, and it can't fall out while the carrier is installed. Mine never fall out on their own, and I need to bang the carrier against my hand to get it to extend so I can grab it. Big improvement over the old split pin. I no longer ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Guntec Firing Pin Retainer
Great idea - works okay. The problem with this versus a standard retainer is that it is easily too wide, or so narrow that it can fall out. I took my rifle out today and fired roughly 1500 rounds, and when I took my bolt out for cleaning, it literally fell out. I am not sure if it broke or something...

Throwaway the cutter pen, use this on every build

by RacerRick, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on February 14, 2024
When I discovered that Stoner himself designed the BCG with this little gem, I dug in to find out why they switched to a cotter pin. Simple answer; easy to replace when lost. Makes sense…in the field. But for the rest of us civilians, this is by far the better play. Never again will you gave to squeeze a splayed cotter pen into that tiny hole on the other side…and you know what I mean :-/
Pros:
  • Super easy in/out
Cons:
  • You might lose it in Combat
Best Used for:
  • All your builds
Would recommend: Yes

Easily fall off

by zijiehe, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on April 30, 2023
I thought the pin should be much stronger than the common pins, but it's 4x more expensive and cannot hold in place as it should be. I removed the bcg today for cleaning up after several hundreds rounds, it just fell off.
