Wow! You have ESP! That was my next question after looking at what was available. I'm around 800 rounds, I can see the pins turn some but they don't seem to be loose at all. :twothumbs:

Contacted them about six months ago.........
He does not recommend the KNS pins, but, as long as you are not
using the high speed trigger, they will function with his trigger.
However, the Geissele pins are much higher quality than the KNS.


That information is per Bill Geissele

Here is the reply I got back.

Hello

We recommend that you use the GA pins that came with the trigger. Our GA pins are hardened, precision ground to our specs while the anti-rotational pins are softer. This may cause a burr to be pulled up during the install and they do not fit as precise as the pins we supply with the trigger. Thank you for the inquiry

Thank You

Not sure about how much harder the Geissele Automatics pins could be when compared to KNS.

I think I'll Mic the GA pins when I get a chance and order the KNS pins based on that.

I'll try them and let you guys know what I determine with the size, hardness, and change of the feel in the trigger.

As of now my SD-E is

2.25lb pull through first stage

stack to 3.25 lbs on 2nd stage

Very slight movement at 2nd stage and stop "3rd stage?" (Very easy to pull through if you get lazy)

an ounce or two more and break

My other Geissele is a SSA-E and it has no "3rd" stage. I like this additional "stage" as it lets me break the shot exactly when I want.

However it may be a uncommon "glitch" with just my trigger. I plan on getting a couple more SD-Es and I'll know for sure.

I don't know if they sell them separately, but I'm using the very slightly oversized hammer and trigger pins that came with the RRA two stage triggers (have them in two different rifles). Over a thousand rounds later, they don't look to have moved left/right or rotated at all.

To check and see if your pins are rotating, cycle the charging handle and observe the hammer pin when the trigger is pulled. does it rotate? Many will move about thirty degrees when the hammer drops.

Did not intend to sound like a smart azz. Seems GA has a canned response to this question, exactly the same reply I got about six months ago.
