Anti walk pins ... are they worth it?

[P226RN]

Got a set recently but haven't put them on yet... Anyone use them and do you know if they work with the Magpul Bad lever?

i have them on all 9 of my ARs. to me they serve a dual purpose: they won't back out ; and the trigger pin keeps the trigger axis lubricated.

The Gen 2 model is the one i have on my BAD equipped gun and there is no interference. I have been using these for years and have all 3 mods. The second mod was more bulbous and the latest rev is essentially the first model without a screw at the hammer axis. They use a slotted keyway there same as rev 2 but in the same barbell shape as mod 1.

YMMV.

Yes I'd say they are required on a Timney. As for standard triggers I don't think they are as important.

I have then on all my guns.

Mainly because I think the stainless pins smooth out the trigger over standard pins.

I use them, I've had pins start working their way out prior to using them. They work fine with a BAD lever.

thanks for the thoughts good to know they work with the BAD....

I use them in all my AR's

I wish they made them for AK's

The general concensus is that they are only needed for FA. I had my pins walk out on me once due to improper installation, so I put in KNS pins to make sure that never happened again.

The trigger pin on my factory assembled Stag started walking on me at around 500 rds. At one point I did not noticed the pin was almost about to fall off and the trigger jammed. KNS solved the problem. I have the gen 1.

Anyone know what kind of pins came in the parts kit with the most recent AR-15 group buy? They did have two non-symmetrical notches in them. I couldn't figure out which orientation to put the pins in either (either way didn't seem to matter).

They have just standard trigger pins. The "upgraded" KNS type pins are not included in your standard kits.
