Tandemkross Ruger PC Carbine KrossPins, 2-Pack

big improvement over the stgock pins

Easy to install

Shipped quickly and was exactly the part needed. Better than the original, it stays in place.

Trigger assembly pins fit perfectly in my carbine! They stay in place and don’t fall out like the original ones from Ruger!!

Great Item would purchase again if needed. Thanks!

They work fine and do not walk out of the hole. Very good product. Thanks!!!!!

Want something you actually need for a gun? Ruger did a rational thing incorporating captive screws into the PCC disassembly, but not so much for the receiver/trigger box pins. They don’t just fall out, they roll away. The sense of urgency probably depends upon when and where you discover this for the first time. On a clean white sheet in a bright shop, maybe you notice the spare thing you hadn’t messed with laying there. On a dusty bench at the range messing with mag-wells, maybe you don’t notice that one or both dropped out and rolled somewhere into the grass or sandy gravel at your feet. Maybe you even reassemble the gun with one pin missing. Seems like that would be problem. It is a problem. Unlike dual-purpose handguns the PC Carbine is very difficult to throw accurately at any meaningful defensive distance. It could be the weight. It may be an inherent aerodynamic flaw – mine, anyway, is the plain jane no-fly chassis - covert. That means to use the thing in Plan-B mode, you have to close engagement in to axe-swinging distance which could be an issue if the BG’s gun is still working. What to do? Ruger probably sells the OEM parts - somewhere. When I looked to buy some spares, the Tandemkross KrossPins showed up early in the search and at a glance offered a conspicuously plausible solution which even a bag of 100 of the OEM pins could not. That made super-duper sense. For one, they are self-retaining. For two, no tools needed. For three, the slight projection of the spring-ball stops the silent benchtop roll-away if you’ve poked them out on purpose – which you’d sort of have to. Small thing, not dirt cheap, but a near-perfect solution! Why not totally perfect? At this stage of the market, there has been no movie showing the villains doping their PCC’s proclaiming, Ve Don’t Vant a Fair Fight, no window decal for your pickup, no sticker to put on your stock, no Velcro affinity patch for your bug out bag, no t-shirt, and no baseball cap featuring menacingly crossed KrossPins with little bumps on one end to tell the world, Look the-F Out Cause this PCC’s Back in Business! You’re stuck hoping to work it into a conversation then showing them a cell phone picture of the mod you did. Maybe carry the old pins in your change pocket to start the conversation at the vending machine or checkout line at the Dollar Store where you can always toss in that special wink and nod to hint that some elusive agency with which you may or may not be affiliated requires this tactical enhancement on all their Ruger PCC’s. …as well they surely would!
