AR buffer retaining pin installation tool

Shadow9mm · January 8, 2025, 09:50 PM

Just found this tool really interesting, have I just been living under a rock? its from KAK, seems to be designed to help with installation of their flat wire buffer spring. HOWEVER I plan to use it when installing or removing the tube itself. That pin always wants to fly off and you need 3 hands to hold it down while threading the buffer tube on or off. Now I can just lock the pin in and go!

I received one with a flat wire and articulating buffer from KAK.

I haven't used them much, but I see why they offer the tool. The spring and buffer are a regal PITA to get in and out.
