Forward Controls Design - Takedown and Pivot Pins HF-601

Forward Controls Design - HF-601

The HF-601 is a collaborative effort between Hodge Defense Systems and Forward Controls Design, designed as a specialized set of takedown and pivot pins for AR platforms. Here are the key features and details of the HF-601:

1. Material and Manufacturing:

Made from 17-4 stainless steel.
Precision billet machined on Swiss machines with high degrees of precision and tight tolerances.
Black nitride treated for enhanced durability.
2. Length Specifications:

The HF-601 pins are 0.040" longer than the standard TDP (Technical Data Package) takedown and pivot pins.
3. Design Inspiration:

Inspired by the Colt 601, with specific design cues taken from the Colt 601 pivot and takedown pins.
Reproduces features such as dimples on both sides of the takedown pin and the left side of the pivot pin.
Faithfully reproduces the slight ring on the left side of the takedown pin tip.
4. Optional Detents and Springs Kit:

The HF-601 can be purchased with an optional takedown/pivot detents and springs kit.
The kit includes 4 detents and 3 springs, anticipating potential losses or damages during installation.
Designed to preemptively address common challenges faced by AR builders, such as launching detents or bending detent springs.
5. TDP Adherence:

The diameter of the HF-601 pins adheres to TDP dimensions and tolerances, specifically 0.2485 +0.000/-0.005.
The HF-601 represents a high-quality and meticulously designed set of takedown and pivot pins for AR platforms. Its attention to detail, including the Colt 601-inspired features, and the inclusion of an optional detents and springs kit make it a versatile and practical choice for AR builders, especially those looking for precision and durability in their firearm components.
