What did I do wrong? It has been many years since I installed an AR trigger, did I do something stupid? |

I checked mine and mine doesn't rotate. Is your lower old and well used? I suppose the holed would eventually wear out. You might want to call Geissele and see what they have to say.
Good luck. |

Lower has a few trigger pulls on it, the Stock Trigger I just took out was not rotating.

Talk to Geissele Tech Support (for peace of mind): they will tell you it's normal (assuming spring installed correctly; I can't view pix).

And the problem is??????
Hammer pin has an annular groove that fits the J spring of the hammer to retain the pin in place. Trigger pin is retained via the spring legs of the hammer. So on note, both the hammer and trigger pins will rotate in the receiver holes for them; its the FCG parts that hold the pin is place, and normal for rotation of the pins as the FCG parts are moving. As for why the pins may not have rotated before, pin channels just tight from fresh anodizing build up, and with a few pin removals/ some fire time on the rifle, the old pins would have stated to rotate as well. If you don't want the pins to rotate like normal, then you can go with the KNS pins instead http://0323924.netsolstores.com/pdfs/S3G-Instructions.pdf http://www.knsprecisioninc.com/gen-2-mod-2-non-rotating-trig-ham-pins-1.html |

Geissele will recommend you NOT use KNS pins.

Pins rotate, so what?

some people worry about the rotating pins wearing out the receivers or having slop in the action.
I use some light duty loctite and carefully put a small drop on each end of the pin at the receivers. No rotating pins now. Just make sure that you don't put enough loctite to drip into the hammer and trigger. |

The KNSs were made to prevent the pins from walking out, which 99.9% of the time is due to the hammer spring being installed upside down. If the man who makes the trigger says not to use them, I wouldn't use them. |
