Some models of real M4/M16's have those. I've seen one on an Airsoft gun before, but I don't know if it was a real part modified to Airsoft use, or a version made for Airsoft exclusively.

Where did you find that item?

Huang, but haven't seen prices or ETAs show the times I've looked.

Ok, but what is it Danke?

gas block pins?

it is not on a real one.

trigger group pins

another useless widget

So useless for airsoft and can't even fit on?

At least it's not expensive.

so is it a gearbox pin?

No, they are for a real gun, and can not be installed in an airsoft gun.

But this is one of huang's airsoft products. This guy seems to have it too.

And i really need one because my gearbox pin keeps falling out. If anyone has another solution to this please tell me.

just curious here... what is its function on a real AR? i dont really get it

His looks different, perhaps its just a non functioning cosmetic part of his lower. If you need a new mechbox pin there are a few companies out there that make replacements, King Arms for example.

Also I spy with my a little eye a PGC 7mm prowin mechbox in that set up.

No it isn't. His is a GENII while the one from Huang is a GENI but it's basically the same. I just asked him. He said it's the real steel. I suspect he modified it to fit though. And to answer your question bleaches, it's to prevent wear on the trigger of the Ar. In short it prevents it from breaking i guess.

ah gotcha. learned something new
