Re: AR Gold trigger question HELP
Brand of lower? Pin size?
I have several ar-15's and ar-10's with a big variety of triggers, never a "wiggle" in them except in the rare case when the pin holes were worn out in the lower. That said, I have no experience with AR Gold triggers.
Many threads/posts on the AR Gold trigger on the Brian Enos multigun forum just to give you another resource.
Good luck with your rifle!

Re: AR Gold trigger question HELP
hmmm... When you slip the supplied pins into the trigger did you feel them snap into place? Supposedly that is when they are locked into place... Also, does the trigger still have wiggle room with the supplied pins?

to use the kns pins i had to remove the 2 clips that hold the inserts the pins go through. So al i did was slide the pins in and they dont click into place because of that.

Re: AR Gold trigger question HELP
Well since there is no "mil-spec" 308 ar out there, they'll all have different tollerences. My suggestion to you if you want to keep the trigger is to make a shim, you can cut up a pop can if need be.

You shouldn't have to remove the clips. If you rotate the KNS pins so the flat is in line with the clip it will slide past it until the main diameter of the pin comes into contact. Then using the keeper rotate the pin so the flat lifts the clip and then you can slide the pin in the rest of the way. Just be careful if you have the thin design as you don't want to brake the keeper.

Re: AR Gold trigger question HELP
The drop test is when you have the upper and lower is split apart. Cock the trigger back and with your finger pull back the shoulder that holds the hammer down to make sure that the hammer does not release. If the hammer stays cocked, your pins are doing their job.
