If you order a set of the KNS .1555 pins with the "barbell" retainers and you don't like the fit I'll trade you for my set of .154 pins.

I'm thinking I should take mine out and measure them before ordering anything......... For me the Armalite two stage fits what I want to do with the rifle so I don't want to change that......... might just scrap the idea as a hassle and put the money into the next weapon on the list.
If I do grab a set I'll let you know if I have anything to trade for sure.

I started measuring mine just for the heck of it than was glad I did.

I'll start doing that for all precision parts I buy.

So if you just have to use KNS pins with a Geissele trigger the larger ones are the ones to use.

There is always someone... :dry:
I have a New set that I am sending to a Friend...I pulled it out and measured it with my Dig...Calipers...It measured .154,if I apply pressure to it to force the calipers then I get .1535....
I would say for the Standard they are correct...but I will forward your concerns to KNS....

On another Note...Whom Ever was the Mod that XXXX out my Reference to XXXXX....REALLY... :angry: :banghead: :cowboy:

Cowboys comment sounds very reasonable to me..... Quote...

"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????????????????"......

I'm not going to fret over it until I see wear that's a concern......

Not to call anyone out,......but Sharkey was the last to edit your post. :whistle:
Guessing will drop this place from a few of my signatures!

I would REALLY like to see where it states in the posting rules about not
posting links to or references about XXXXX.

Not sure why there would be a problem with referencing XXXXX......... maybe a disclaimer should be added that all questions will be considered stupid and open for ridicule there..... just my experience there.........but then it has been awhile since I visited there.... since I found this forum! :usa:
