Stainless steel extended take-down and pivot pins - XTS AR-15 Extended Pivot and Takedown Set w/Assembly Tools

Chris's Review of XTS AR-15 Extended Pivot and Takedown Set w/Assembly Tools
Seems to be well made. Nicely finished. No rough edges or mars in the surface. Fit smoothly on my lower build. Matches well with the SS mag catch assembly, as well as the anti-walk pins and nickel-boron bolt catch. My daughter selected the silver toned finish to accent her SS barrel. Looks like everything will produce an excellent finished product. This is my daughter's rifle and she requested the extended pins.
I am not sure that I would choose the extended pins for my rifles? They are handy and make for an easy take-down. However, the rear take down pin does interfere slightly with my usage of the ambi safety. Also, I prefer to have as few protrusions from my rifle as possible, because I have found them to catch on everything (branches, vines, clothing, web gear, etc). My daughter will be doing mostly benchrest and LR shooting, so this should not be an issue for her. This is obviously not the extended pin's fault, I'm just not sure of the design for my personal preference? The ONLY reason that I cannot give this 5 stars, is that after 2-1/2 months I am still waiting for an upper. It was estimated to be shipped 6 weeks ago, and I cannot complete my build and test fire the finished product until I receive the upper.
Pros:
Nice finish, great looking, easy install, simplifies take down
Cons:
No cons for the item, just not sure of the extended design for my purposes
Best Used for:
easy take-down, nice accent,
Would Recommend:
Yes
