Can someone give me advice on an AR hammer pin install? Is there some trick to it? I am doing my first ar lower assembly, and having difficulty aligning it to the hole. Thanks.
Thanks for the advice. Now I have a new problem, I just sent the pivot pin detent across the cellar!! I found the spring!

I have one extra lower parts set here, so I can use the detent from that. Thanks for the advice, I will be ordering spare parts.

I have bought a few OSHIT kits here and there.I have one extra lower parts set here, so I can use the detent from that. Thanks for the advice, I will be ordering spare parts.
I had a few parts go fling over the years...when renovating the basement my daughter found a detent and spring in the corner while cleaning up a bit.You're not an AR assembler until you send pins and springs somewhere into oblivion. Almost worth doing that stuff in a small, clean room so that when stuff goes flying you can find it. If you use a bathroom, don't forget to close the toilet lid and sink drains.

I was using a large clear tote with holes cut in it for my arms.Best advice I got while assembling things that are spring loaded was to assemble it inside of a clear plastic bag. Makes them not shoot into oblivion.
Is there any advantage of NM trigger pins over standard trigger pins?
This is a thing? My guess would be no.
Personally I like the anti-rotation pins.
How come? Do "normal" pins actually rotate enough to matter?
This the gayest thread ever. Just slide that shit in and get it over with.

Other than just being very well fitted and smooth. Not really.Is there any advantage of NM trigger pins over standard trigger pins?

I got a few the new bushmaster hammer kits without the hammer wire in them and the pin walked right back out.
