I am with you...

That said and from where I sit: I am going to put my engineers hat on and say at first blush, the solution is a softer pin. Given the 3 prime components:
1) lower
2) trigger group
3) pins

IMO opting to save the lower and trigger group is more important than pin wear, pines are cheap vs replacing the TG/Lower. This does require more maintenance and paying attention to your weapon, but will preclude going to bigger and bigger pins and drilling out your lowers. A softer pin will wear faster sure, but seems to be the solution from my chair????????????????

As I said...with the right type of Lubricant on the pins...it would be a long time before any maintenance on them would be needed...
Just my :twocents: on it...but what do I know... :laugh: :side: :whistle: :sleep:

I've been thinking about adding the KNS anti-rotation pins to my AR-10TU to complement the Geissele SD-E trigger.

I'll let you guys know if it effects the feel of the trigger at all.

I use the KNS pins on my 9mm pistol........later to be an SBR
Geissele does NOT recommend using them with his triggers.
The Armalite pins are a "anti-walk" design, not "anti-rotate"

It is a toss up as to wether they are needed or not. Many standard trigger pins break in the blow-back ARs. The 9mm and .22LR are very hard on pins, the chance of breaking them with the 9mm is greatly reduced with the use of a "ramped" bolt assy.
