Alright Hide... I need some help. I have a Daniel Defense DDM4V7. Not the pro, just the standard. 16in barrel and standard trigger. I am having issues with the trigger pins walking out during a course of fire. I have tried re setting them back in. I have tried putting them in the opposite way than previous. Right now I have anti walk trigger pins, but i want to take them out. One shouldn't have to run anti walk pins, and I'd like to go back to the oem parts. Please help!! If anyone has some insight as to what is causing this and how to fix it, please let me know. Like I said, I want to be able to put the original pins back in, I just cant have a catastrophic failure while running the gun.

From my experience, I've seen the trigger pin walks several times because the hammer spring was installed backward. So, check your hammer spring for proper installation.
If your hammer spring is backward, the hammer spring is not putting enough tension on the trigger pin, which allow the trigger pin to walk. Also, eventually you'll get light strike.
The only other reason your trigger pin would walk was because of oversized pin hole. I wouldn't think DD would have poor quality control to let something like that passed.

As stated above, make sure the hammer spring is mounted properly-and the legs lay on top of the trigger pin. Also, and just to make sure, "nobody" has bent the hammer spring legs to lessen pull weight?

Thank you, I will take a look at that for sure. i could see myself overlooking that little detail for sure.
I will double check on the pin hole size but i'm pretty sure they're standard. It is still under warranty, but its my duty rifle, and cant be without it for an extended period of time.
