    Where to buy pins to connect upper/lower AR??

    Hey guys, I need to buy the pins that hold together the upper and lower of my AR-15....I don't know the exact name for them.. Anyway, I called my local gun shop and explained what I needed, their price is $6.00 a piece. It seems excessive to me. What's the exact name for them? Any suggestions where to buy??
    TIA

        You mean the takedown pin? (the rear pin to take out the charging handle and BCG).

        And the pivot pin? (the front pin that if taken out separates them completely.



        They can be got in sets usually.

                your LPK didn't include a set? KNS and yankee hill sell specialty upgrades, if you're interested.
                .

                  You're a ballsy fella. (if I'm reading your name correctly)
                  I'm in San Bruno. Let me check, and I might have an extra set.
                  I'll let you know tonight.

                        Do you have the detents and springs for the pins?

                          No paisano, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. (and watched every episode of The Sopranos. It was Tony's boat.)
                          I'll check tonight for them and their condition. I know I have a basic set because I upgraded to the EZ pulls on my ARs, and I always save parts. You can have them for no charge if you want them.
