The anti-walk pins have two small washer sort of things that you clip on to the sides that will prevent them from moving. They are supposed to stick out the side a little, but with the washer sort of things on them, they wont move. |

With the washers on I still get about 1/8" movement! I really need a solution here or I am going to be trashing this reciever! I am pissed!

Well, that sure doesnt sound normal, or at least compared to my exprience with them. I have a set of these in a lower that I had problems with and they dont have any movement?

I'm going to call Bushmaster in the morning. Maybe they sent me the wrong pins. I am really bummed about this. If I can't get the right pins, what the hell am I going to do!!!

The receiver has nothing to do with holding the pins in place. The hammer pin is held in place by the J spring in the hammer it locks into the detent cut of the pin and keeps it from walking. Then the legs of the hammer springs lock into the detent cuts of the trigger pin keeping it from shifting. I think you most likely have some springs installed wrong as they lock each other in place.

What David Hineline said... I've had the same issue in the past and it corrected nicely by making sure the hammer spring was in the pin groove.

Well if you have no other option but to use the anti-walk pins, and the ones you currently have are the correct length, if they are not too long you could try looking at Lowes or Ace Hardware for some thin washers to slide under the heads of the pins to take up the space. Add the washers under the heads of the pins like shims. I don't think a few .000's play will ruin your hammer or trigger pin holes.

And the correct answer is:
Quoted: The receiver has nothing to do with holding the pins in place. The hammer pin is held in place by the J spring in the hammer it locks into the detent cut of the pin and keeps it from walking. Then the legs of the hammer springs lock into the detent cuts of the trigger pin keeping it from shifting.

I replaced the fire control group today and it seems to have worked, plus I found an M16 trigger in there which I destroyed and discarded. It looks like the old hammer's J pin was bent of something because it was not locking the pin. Stil feels a little loose, but I'll see when I get to the range. Thanks!

JackBurton;
You can't solve this problem with C clips on the pins, or shims. As long as the pin can travel, and/or rotate, there is the potential for movement on the lower. There is a fix...call Steve at Guncity USA in Nashville. Have a cup or three of coffee handy, and be ready to talk, actually, listen. He's a small arms specialist that served in Vietnam, and has the most asskickin' guns I've ever seen, from 1911's (Colts) to his BM's. The # is 1 615 256-6127. Good Luck, Mike |

I am using the KNS pin setup sold by Denny's Gun or Global Tactical Supply. They are really easy to install and work great.

The hammer pin does have rotational movement when the hammer is released forward. Side to side movement is non-existant when you fire. Mike |

WOW, that was deja-vu. When I first bought my PWA Commando I took it to the range and the pins walked after about 20 rounds. Not knowing anything about AR's, I bought the anti-walk pins too. Then I read a take-down manual and realized that the previous owner installed the springs upside-down. The gun functioned, but there was very little tension on the pin detents, so they walked. I haven't had a problem since.
I learned a valuable lesson... just knowing how to make the gun go boom does not mean you "know" your weapon. |

Keep the KNS parts in there. They will save receiver wear and are precision ground round so your trigger pull should be smoother. What did you think of the quality? Denny |
