Most Helpful Positive Review Work great
Pin fit perfect. Fit into BCG like a glove. Always like these pins better than the cotter pins. Easy to use and better quality than most. Seem solid and good steel. I have used this pin in several BCGs and it fits in all types.

Some Carriers

by Steven Colton, Verified Owner from MD, United States Written on November 19, 2023
Works in both my nickel boron toolcraft BCG but not in a BCA nitride or Davidson Defense ones, so there’s that, seems to be a lot nicer for ease of use and convenience when disassembled for cleaning and service

Retaining pin

by Bk, from MI, United States Written on December 10, 2022
Ordered to replace on a custom build 45 raptor upper. Prior pin had either broke, or come out due to the higher pressure of this round. Guntec fit very firmly, and so far has held up great. It's a plus that it is cerakoted for durability. Product shipped quickly and on time
