Are the pins in a kns pin kit too short to be used in a calvary arms lower? I have standard pins in mine, and they dont stay in place, and i was hoping that this would be a solution. Thanks

You ned to verify that the std pins you are using have the grooves cut correctly,  then verify the hammer has the "J" hook in the middle and snapped into the groove of the hammer pin, then finally that the hammer spring leg is resting in the groove for the trigger pin.

If all is assembled correct, walking pins should not be of concern.

Had a local fella miss with the hammer spring leg, the trigger pin would walk, and trigger get sideways, don't remember if the rifle would double or lock-up.....  It was a Cav-Arm....

the std pins just barley fit in the cav arms lower. The KNS pins are the same size, but have the little screw things which might be long enough to still work. Some folks do make longer pins. I got a pair with my chip McCormick trigger. They'd probably fit fine in the Cav. I can try it when I get home.

ETA: I'll toss both on the Cav when I get home.
