goldnut Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 Hello all. Guess im getting to know this site. I already posted this in the general discussion. Glad to join you all here and look forward to learning from you veterans here. I live in western PA right near the OH line. I only own one AR rifle myself but I am in the process of building an AR10. That is why I joined this site. I really am clueless about this process. I have bought a 80% DPMS lower and that is all to this point. I am looking at a drop in trigger and a stock that is on "ground zero precision" website. The first question that I need help with is how to tell what fits what? I will post links to the parts I am looking at if needed. I sure appreciate the help. Ken
jtallen83 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 Welcome from Iowa Ken! As far as learning what fits what my first suggestion would be to spend a bit of time searching and reading here, lots of info stored here.

goldnut Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Posted December 22, 2016 Well I ordered some parts from Ground Zero tonight. Ordered a buffer tube and a stock, A drop in trigger and a hand grip. Forgot to order pins for the trigger but Im sure I can get those at my local gun shop. Excited to get this order delivered!
Rsquared Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Welcome from Maryland. The trigger pins should come with your lower parts kit (LPK).

He ordered a drop in trigger. Probably didn't order a LPK, The drop in triggers I have done are intended as replacement for original triggers and didn't include pins.

But if when he orders his lpk it should come with pins, @goldnut didn't mention that he's acquired any of that stuff yet.
Rsquared Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Not the first time I've ever been wrong.

Unless he orders one of the sets of non-rotating pins. Either the popular KNS pins or one of the knockoffs which I have found work as well at half the price.

goldnut Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Posted December 29, 2016 Hello again fellas! OK I ordered a drop in trigger made by Rise Armament. I need to buy the pins for this and see that there are dozens available from about 10 bucks to 40! What are your recommendations? I have also seen that there are a few different diameters. I didnt notice any recommended diameter on the Ground Zero website. Are these typically one size? Thanks for the help. Ken
sketch Posted December 29, 2016 Report Posted December 29, 2016 If this is for an 80% then your jig has a drill size recommended ( maybe included)? All my builds have been the small size pin. The specific size slips my mind at the moment.. Either your trigger or your jig will have your answer. Maybe an email or phone call would be more specific to your build?

goldnut Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Posted December 29, 2016 I did email Zero this question but havent heard back yet. All the ones I have seen have been .154, .155, .170. So Im assuming the 154 or 155 will do. I will check the drill size of the fixture to be certain. Thanks
