Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed to match Aero Precision M5 lower receivers; fit on other DPMS pattern lower receivers is not as flush and the pin will protrude farther.
- This is a single pivot pin component, so it is only useful if you need to replace or complete that specific part of the lower receiver setup.
- Compatibility is specific to M5/DPMS-pattern applications, so it is not a universal AR part.
- No additional specifications are provided here, so buyers should verify receiver fit before ordering.
