The Pivot Pin Tool for AR10*: Effortless Installation in Four Simple Steps


Install your AR10 pivot pin effortlessly with the Real Avid® Pivot Pin Tool for AR10, the ultimate solution for quick and frustration-free installation. The Pivot Pin Tool for AR10 provides an invaluable third hand, eliminating the difficulties associated with fumbling fingers, pin-launching mishaps and overall annoyances. In just four simple steps, you can achieve a seamless and rapid pivot pin installation, making it as effortless as 1-2-3-4.

Step 1: Prepare the Pivot Pin Tool (PPT) Fixture
To begin, let’s prepare the PPT fixture for the installation process. Slide the Pivot Pin Tool into the pin housing on the lower receiver. Take note of the precise alignment, ensuring that the holes line up perfectly.

Next, load the spring into the PPT fixture, followed by the detent. Carefully place the detent spring first, and then insert the detent into position. Finally, utilize the Detent Plunger Tool (DPT) to push the spring and detent all the way in until they come to a complete stop.

Step 2: Secure the Detent and Spring
With the spring and detent in place, we can now lock them securely into the plunger housing. Gently slide the PPT fixture away from the DPT, maintaining a controlled pace and remove DPT. As you do so, you will feel the detent and spring becoming firmly held within the plunger housing.

Step 3: Rotate the PPT Fixture
Now, it’s time to execute a simple 90-degree rotation of the PPT fixture. This step ensures that the detent separates from the groove within the Pivot Pin Tool, preparing it for the insertion process.

Step 4: Insert and Secure the Pivot Pin
With the preliminary steps complete, we can finally insert the pivot pin into its rightful place. Orient the pivot pin with the notch pointing towards the lower receiver or the trigger. Gently press the pivot pin against the PPT fixture until you feel it lock securely into position. Continue pushing until the pivot pin passes through completely.

By following these four straightforward steps, you have successfully installed your AR10 pivot pin. It’s time to remove the PPT fixture from the receiver and push the pivot pin into the closed position.

In under 60 seconds, the Pivot Pin Tool for AR10 streamlines the installation process of your pivot pin. Say goodbye to frustration, lost parts and wasted time. By providing an extra helping hand, this tool ensures a hassle-free and efficient experience. Enhance your AR10 assembly experience with the Pivot Pin Tool for AR10.
