KNS Perma pin

I have seen these and seem to have mixed reviews. I was just wondering if any of my forum friends use this?

I subscribe to the KISS principal. Out of the many thousand rounds I have fired through an AR, I have never had an issue with the little cotter pin.

Sex offenders can not be rehabilitated. It's in their wiring. They should not be released back into the general public. On the other hand they should not be warehoused either. I think they should be executed.....Spectre

When someone tries to kill you, it doesn't matter how they are doing it. You're in mortal danger, and it's time to try to kill them back.

Kill every last one of these goddamned animals. We need a president with balls. We need leadership. We should be carpet bombing these barbarians wherever we find them, and we should be looking for them 24/7. We have to unleash Hell upon them. They understand nothing but death, so death is what we should bring them, wholesale.... Para

One of my local stores has some in stock. I thought about trying it out. Although, I haven't had any trouble with the regular pin. I wonder why they switched to the newer pin away from this one since this was part of the original design?

I just saw it at the shop and was curious. Hence, why I asked here. I haven't had any issues with my pin. Just wondering what everyone thought.

Thanks guys for your thoughts and posting!

Probably because a cotter pin is common as dirt, and cheaper?

I've used a few.
They fit flatter, look nicer but I have had a problem with it staying in.
Works fine when in but can easily fall out during a BCG removal.
It could be I goofed up the end tab or it just may be on a particular carrier - can't remember.
Overall it is a minor annoyance but not a major problem and not on all carriers as far as I remember.

Its the original design, and would be included with every AR15 every built if not for government penny pinchers getting involved and deciding to save 10 cents per gun.
