    The screw in (two piece) pin, to the best of my knowledge is only used by Colt, everyone wlse uses mil-spec parts.
    Here's a thought: Let's make criminals responsible for their crimes ... ...Not blame society and the tools they use!kimberkid@gunbroker.zzn.com
    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    My guess is so people wont mix and match Colt uppers and lowers with other brands. Many AR15 owners buy extra uppers in different barrel styles and calibers. A Colt buyer wont have the choice of using brand X uppers. He's stuck with Colt.
