Why Rollpinco.com has an AR-15 Roll Pin Upgrade Kit for you to upgrade your American Rifles.
Watching a bunch of AR-15 evaluation videos on the Internet kind of drilled into me that we do not reuse roll pins in our AR’s. I was having trouble with a 300 blackout in August of 2020 and just making sure everything possible was ruled out. The roll pin for the ejector spring had to come out again because according to many if you don’t know what spring came with your bolt carrier group then replace it with a really good one. I found some of those. But an AR-15 Roll Pin Upgrade Kit, that’s a different story, they were not readily available but they should be replaced; more like they had to be replaced, right?
Ok, so back to the net, research and of course the recommended supplier; and the economic order quantity was… And that brings us here. There were no kits to be found.
If you want a roll pin then you can order one at a time for 2 bucks a piece or buy a 100+ dollar kit that has too many for what was needed. And according to my research the best roll pins for the AR-15’s are 420 stainless due to rust and corrosion resistance and they are really strong. Most are stronger than mil-spec but there is one that is a bit less, the one for the trigger guard. Well, until you get a little rust on a mil-spec one because it was scratched during installation or something. Rust starts in 3 days, probably quicker in salt water environment. The contamination does not affect the 420 stainless like that though; especially since these are made specifically to resist that. They are passivated. They hold up better than the phosphate coated ones that we have been using for years.
Anyway I’m not going to drop an engine block on my trigger guard and if I did the ears would probably break off the aluminum lower before the stainless pins break anyway. But if you leave that scratched phosphate one in there and it rusts out, then you might wish you had upgraded to the 420 stainless ones. So the decision was made, if I cannot find a kit of 420 stainless pins out there then it may be up to me to make them.
So I checked around some more. At the range they sell some lower parts kits, but nothing like this. Most everything on the web sold for AR’s are the black phosphate ones and the stainless ones I did find were a couple of bucks each and then shipping unless I purchased 50 dollars or more. That’s kind of how I came up with 25 bucks all in to your door in the lower 48 states for the upgrade kit. 18 pins at two dollars each is 36 and I knew we could do better than that.
And to make up an AR-15 Roll Pin Upgrade Kit means placing one pin in the little bag at a time if I was going to do final inspection, but if I miss something then you need extras to make sure you can get every one of them on your AR upgraded. And that is the reason for 3 of each; to make sure you get all of yours upgraded on your AR and have one or two of each size for spares in case one goes flying off or something.
So the plan was set in motion: order the pins, get some bags, fire up PowerPoint and get the printer going. Get a website, get the content in there, make sure payment systems were set up and even Universe for my iPhone to help maybe. Then off to the other sites, where you may have stumbled onto an ad that brought you here. Guess we are doing something right; let’s keep that going.
Well, that’s my story and that’s why Rollpinco.com has an AR-15 Roll Pin Upgrade Kit for you. Upgrade yours today.
