Kel Tec SU-16 tight takedown pin fix

If you have a Kel Tec SU-16, you might love it except for one little detail… The takedown pin in the handle is so tight that you need a tool to insert or remove it. I found a great hack on what to do about this.

You can replace the takedown pin with a 1/4″ hitch pin from a hardware store. It works peachy keen. The pin stays in perfectly and is easy to remove by pulling on the attached ring. (Source)

    I sell a takedown pin for the SU-16 and PLR-16 that is superior to the stock pin, with a slightly extended length to allow a pull ring to be attached, which is included with every pin. I sell these regularly on ebay, or you can buy them at http://www.TakedownPins.com.

    Feel free to contact me direct at contact@takedownpins.com with any questions.
