Floating Pin

[AR15MIDLENGTH 0]

I disassembled and assembledmy shotgun with no real problem. I thought. My first trip to the range was 10 rounds sucessful but my trigger main pin had slid out of the reciever and the trigger was cock eyed. My question is where do I get a new pin or how do I keep my existing pin from sliding.

sounds like you didn't get the retainer back in correctly...

if you used a Shepherds crook, make sure its wrapped correctly, if you used a plate, make sure its contacting the right stuff.....

what trigger group did you use. If you bought a tromix modified fcg, it would have came with a shepards crook. If you did get the tromix, make sure the long end of the retaining pin slides under the hammer pin. Go to css website and click on his video gallery for detailed instructions. If you bought a dinzag, it probably came with some hitch clips or e clips. Make sure these are installed. The plain tapco fcg do not come with any type of axis pin retention device so yo need to buy either a retaining plate, hitch pins, or a shepard crook. I personally use the shepards crook for all my builds and have never had an issue.

 

It would also help if you posted a picture of the inside of your reciever showing the trigger group.
