That was a link to the website, brother, as a whole - not to the article that you were talking about on the pins.  Just sayin'...

Eh, that's that certain guy's opinion.  I don't agree with him.  There are cases that you WANT those pins, and nothing else works.  He's talking about reducing hammer speed because there's not a j-spring groove, and a bunch of things - making an issue that doesn't exist.  Because he doesn't like those pins.

Better put 'em in your pistol-cal ARs, men!   Blowbacks will break hammer pins.  Know where?  Right where that groove is, for the j-spring.  If you have registered REAL full-auto guns - wouldn't it suck to lose that registered lower and that registered serial number, because the fire control group pins got all hogged out with use?  How much will that registered pre-'86 lower cost you again?  $15 grand?... 

See?...   There's a definite reason for them.

Yep, I agree with @98Z5V there for sure, eliminating wear anywhere I could would be a priority if they were mine......... god I'm jealous.

I will order a set for two rifles then. any ones better than the other?

[jtallen83]

Only set I have is KNS.

KNS Started it all - for the very reason of not killing your precious NFA item, over time, and wear - and round count.

KNS even makes one for the sear pin.  I'd look into that one, too. 

I like how the author stated something about 10,000 rounds, and measuring wear...  Whatever.  I've shot twice that over a weekend from my M4A1 - and didn't care.  Armorers would fix it, get me a lower if need be.  That don't happen in Civi-World.  There aren't "replacement legal full-auto lowers" just laying around.  And round count on .mil guns can be way higher than what was stated in that article...  just from routine, real training...

How did I not know about that site? I read through the anti-rotation pin article and several others, the content is excellent.
