Forward Controls Design Takedown Pin w/Dimple, Black

The HF-601 pins represent a meticulous collaboration between Hodge Defense systems and Forward Controls Design, embodying a blend of precision engineering and historical homage. Drawing inspiration from the PF-040 pins, the HF-601 is crafted from 17-4 stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resilience. These pins are precision billet machined on advanced Swiss machines, achieving unparalleled precision and maintaining extremely tight tolerances. The black nitride treatment further enhances their robustness and aesthetic appeal. One of the standout features of the HF-601 pins is their extended length, measuring 0.040 inches longer than standard TDP take-down and pivot pins, a characteristic they share with the PF-040. This design choice not only enhances functionality but also pays tribute to the iconic Colt 601, a personal favorite of Jim, whose input was instrumental in the development of these pins. The HF-601 faithfully replicates the distinctive dimples on both sides of the take-down pin and the left side of the pivot pin, as well as the subtle ring on the left side of the take-down pin tip, capturing the essence of the Colt 601's design. While the HF-601 maintains the flat right-side pin head of the Colt 601's pivot pin, it adheres strictly to TDP dimensions and tolerances, with a diameter of 0.2485 +0.000/-0.005. This ensures compatibility and reliability in a variety of applications. The HF-601 pins are not just components - they are a testament to precision craftsmanship and a tribute to a classic design, offering both functionality and a nod to the rich history of firearm engineering.
