RickedRoss Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 So google didn't make things clear for me. I just started shooting a gas gun series and I am trying to take parts and use them I currently have to supplement the cost of another rifle. I have a jp roller trigger with .156 small pin screws. I get you can use 5.56 triggers in a 7.62 gun but sometimes they have problems with military style ammo (primers). How true is this? What ar-10 lowers run small pin holes? I am unclear how common this is. Am I foolish to try and make this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Large-pin triggers are from ONE manufacturer ONLY.. Colt. During the Bill Clinton-Ban Era. ONLY. No other manufacturer ever used that shiit, but Colt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 AR15 triggers usually work in 308s, but not all 308s are built to the same spec so occasionally there are combos that dont play nice. Some have issues setting off milsurp primers but most factory ammo pops fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 0.156" You'd never get a 0.156" pin into a lower receiver without pounding the shiit out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 If you have issues setting off MilSpec Primers , there are several companies that make stronger Hammer Springs to remedy the issue ( the one piece Modular FCG's may be different ) . Most FCG's don't have the issue , I have & I'm sure some here have more , but I have probably a half doz. different FCG's I've tried in 308 AR's & have not had one issue with setting off primers on Milspec ammo .

blue109 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I can say for sure from experience timney(ar15 version) and velocity have issues with hard 308 primers. I had an RRA trigger that would hit the bottom of the carrier and lock the gun up. Just had to remove a small amount of materiel to fix it but it happens.

MrPaul Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I think we need some clarification. Just how hard do you have to pound before we consider it pounding the shiit out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd measure those things out, and see what's up - you'll have one hell of a time pounding those into a lower receiver. I kid you not.

DNP Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 All I'm saying is there are companies making them that size on purpose. I guess you'll need a BFH for the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'll need a BFH for the process Some manufacturers make loose Pin Holes or they get loose with wear from walking . Usually ya just get over sized pins , but the whole FCG , never seen it till now , could also be someones idea of a proprietary components , ya never know .

No, 0.169" is the Colt Large Pin receivers. They're the only ones that ever did this, too.
