Description
Anyone who has fought with stock AR-10 pins knows the drill. You end up digging for a bullet tip or a punch just to pop them loose, usually right when you are trying to get your rifle cleaned and put away. Timber Creek Outdoors built this takedown pin set to get rid of that headache entirely, giving you a set of pins with an extended, spiral knurled head that your fingers can actually grip, wet, dry, gloved, or covered in carbon.
What Makes This Tungsten Takedown Pin Set Different
Each pin in the set is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps things light without giving up strength where it counts. Instead of the smooth, low-profile heads you get from the factory, Timber Creek cuts a deep spiral knurl into the extended head so there is always something for your fingers to catch onto. That little design change is the difference between fighting your rifle apart and having it come apart in seconds.
Tungsten Cerakote Finish
The Tungsten finish is a Cerakote coating, so you get a durable, corrosion resistant look with a subtle metallic gray tone that pairs well with black builds or other Tungsten colored parts if you are matching furniture across your rifle. Cerakote holds up to the kind of handling these pins get, since you are pulling on them every time you clean your gun.
Installing the AR10TPST Takedown Pin Set
The set comes with everything you need for a drop-in swap, including both pins, springs, and detents, so there is no separate parts order to place before you get started. Keep in mind that AR-10 pattern rifles are not built to one universal spec across every manufacturer, so while these pins are sized to fit the vast majority of Mil-Spec AR-10 lowers, it is worth double checking fitment notes for less common receivers before you order. Timber Creek backs the set with their lifetime warranty and builds every pin at their shop in the US, so you are getting a part that is meant to outlast the rifle it is going on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Timber Creek AR10TPST fit my AR-10?
It is machined to fit standard Mil-Spec AR-10/.308 pattern lowers and works with most AR-10 style rifles, including popular options like the PA10 and Aero M5E1. Since there is no single universal spec across every AR-10 manufacturer, it is a good idea to check your specific receiver dimensions if you are running a less common or custom build.
Do I need any tools to install these takedown pins?
No, they are designed as a drop-in replacement for your factory pins and install with basic hand tools in just a few minutes. Once installed, the knurled extended heads let you push and pull the pins with your fingers instead of needing a punch or bullet tip every time.
What comes in the AR-10 Takedown Pin Set?
The set includes the takedown pin, the pivot pin, plus the detents and springs needed to complete the install. You will not need to source any extra small parts separately.
Is the Tungsten finish durable enough for regular range use?
Yes, Tungsten is a Cerakote finish, which is known for holding up to abrasion, corrosion, and the repeated handling these pins see every time you break down your rifle. It also gives the pins a clean, subtle metallic look that works well on black or Tungsten colored builds.
