  1. Will these anti walk anti rotation pins work with extended mag release and extended bolt catches? I.e. geissele maritim bolt catch and the Odin works extended mag release. Thanks for any info on this

  2. This is BAD advice. The trigger pin is DESIGNED to rotate. This is intentional, and non-rotating trigger pins can actually cause wear and tear on the lower receiver itself. Your trigger pin moving so freely in your drop-in trigger either means you received an aftermarket/non-milspec trigger pin, a lower receiver which as manufactured to improper specifications, or, more likely, that your drop-in trigger itself was not manufactured to proper specifications.

  3. If those pins are that loose, then they are probably well worn, replace them with a
    good and precise pair of new pins. In my A Rs, I need to use a punch to get them
    out. If you replace the pins and they are still really loose, then the holes in your
    lower receiver are "worn", probably due to a lack of lube.

  4. You don't need this crap. Here's a better solution. If you have an old PC hard drive
    laying around, there are two "super" magnets under the disc of the disk drive.
    they are thin, but quite powerful. Stick them together, and you will know how
    powerful they are. Place one of these on each side of your lower receiver
    where the hammer and trigger pins are. You can still remove them without
    any trouble, but since they are both pulling at the pins from both sides, your
    pins will not "walk out" from either side.

  5. So … Why would anyone NOT get anti-walk pins ? EVERY Freak'in TIME ? If a trigger pin slides out ( 1/8" ) it will seize up the entire assembly. As in .. Rifle is less than useless.
    I have had this happen a couple times so i went on Ebay and purchased a stainless steel Anti walk set for ( $20 ) with Allen screws on each end. A drop of loctite each, 10mins. later & BAM ! Magically my rifle will Never Ever have the trigger seize up again. Turning my precision AR-15 into an aluminum club.
    So What in the Hell is the question again ?

  6. I just recently purchased a CMC lower parts kit for my Anderson Lower.Although i have not decided if i want an AR pistol or a long gun yet?If i go either way i want it to be a 9mm but from what i heard if its in a pistol caliber its a pistol no matter how long the barrel is?so its looking like an AR Pistol for me?lol But now that i saw this ill be getting the pins for all my AR style rifles.Thanks

  7. Always use Anti-walk pins. Why would you not? Have a pin walk out on you at a bad time just once and you will be a believer. No need to spend $30.00 on KNS pins. $8.95 pins on ebay work fantastic.

  8. I will be installing anti roll pins in my Ar soon. This past weekend me and my buddy were at a competition half way through his stage his gun quit shooting, it's a factory built spikes lower.. his trigger pin came half way out! That could life or death!!
