    TECH TIP: Large Pin AR or Small Pin AR

    Large Pin or Small Pin?

    • Large Pin Colt
    • Mil-Spec Colt
    • Small Pin Colt
    • Mil-Spec AR-15
    • Colt AR-15 Large and Small ~ Hammer and Trigger Pins

    Some civilian Colt AR type rifles were manufactured with hammer and trigger pins and holes which are .170 inches in diameter. These are referred to as Large Pin Colt receivers. This was not in all Colt models, just some.

    All other AR type rifle manufacturers have used the military specification .154" diameter hammer and trigger pins and holes, or small pin.

    Ar_15/ar15_trigger_pins.jpg

    The only way to know for sure is to measure your pins or the holes in your lower receiver to determine if you have a small pin or large pin Colt receiver.

    If you are building a Kit Rifle with a Stripped Lower Receiver and a Parts Kit, or own a Factory Built Rifle, Our AR-15 Shims are Easy for Novice or Expert alike to Install.
    If you are doing a AR-15 Trigger Job, or installing a Trigger Kit, add our shims to take out the slop and stop parts from rubbing.

    Ar_15/ar15_trigger_shim.jpg

    This is the AR-15 Trigger and Disconnector Assembly
    with an AR-15 Trigger Shim Installed to show size.
    Our Trigger Shims will fit the Trigger, Hammer and Disconnector of most
    Small Pin AR-15 Style Rifles.
    Care must be used when installing to insure no binding is present

    Ar_15/ar15_hammer_shim.jpg

    AR-15 Trigger Shim Installation Instructions
    Remove Magazine and Open Chamber, Make Certain Gun is Unloaded!
    Remove Take Down Pins and Separate Upper from Lower Receiver,
    Set Upper Aside.
    Remove Hammer Pin and Remove Hammer.
    Remove Trigger Pin and Remove Trigger.

    Now Remove the Springs from the Hammer and Trigger, including the Disconnector Spring and set aside.
    Set the Disconnector aside.
    Now you can Re-Install Your Hammer and Trigger Without the Springs and Install Shims to Check for Clearance.
    This is necessary to Make Certain there is No Binding or Sticking of the Trigger and Hammer.
    Remove Pins and Hammer and Trigger, Install Disconnector without Spring into Trigger, add Shims, install Trigger Pin and check for proper clearance and free movement of the Disconnector with shims installed.
    Again, you must be absolutely certain there is no binding and the Disconnector Moves Freely.
    There is Normally Very Little Clearance between the Disconnector and Trigger, and may not need to be shimmed, or you may just want to skip putting shims in there all together.
    In Order to Shim the Disconnector you will need to use a Cheater Pin, Reassemble the Disconnector and Shims and Spring into the Trigger as a Sub-Assembly.
    ReInstall the Trigger into the Lower Assembly now that you are Assured the is No Binding Caused by Adding Shims, Once the Trigger Assembly are Installed, it is a Simple Matter to Install the Shims.
    Simply Push the Trigger Pin out just enough to slide a shim Between the Housing and the Trigger.
    A Little Gun Oil on the inside of the Lower Housing will Allow the Shim to Stick and Slide Easily with a Tooth Pick into Place, working the Trigger Assembly to Align Shim, slide the Trigger Pin Back into Place.
    The Hammer and Shims can now be Installed in the Same Manner.
    Be Sure Again to Check Your Work for Free Movement and No Binding on Trigger/Hammer Parts.
    Safe Operation is your Sole Responsibility, if you have any question, have it checked by a Competent Gunsmith.

    Geissele AR-15/M4 Sear Shim

    Geissele Automatics Special AR-15/M4 Sear Shim

    Sear Shim

    Special Size Sear Shims are needed in the Geissele Enhanced Triggers designed for mil-spec AR15/M4 carbine rifles

    The Casting of the Geissele Trigger is not quite deep enough in the Sear area for my standard AR-15 Mil-Spec Trigger / Sear shims to fit the Sear, so I made a special slightly smaller OD shim for the Geissele

    This Shim can be used Both for the Trigger and Sear, but the Smaller OD was made Specifically for the Geissele Automatics Trigger Sear

    Lance, Your product (Pivot Pin Shim) is fabulous!
    My AR is nice and snug now without the use of the polymer wedge inside.
    I’m absolutely thrilled and have already ordered more of your shims.
    Great work and I’ll sing your praises on the forums I frequent.
    Thanks, Randy P.

    Thanks for your quick response, Lance. You do make an excellent product. I've found that I can lightly sand the shim and pivot pin area with 320 wet & dry, clean with naptha or alcohol, and use Dap Rapid Fuse to adhere the (Pivot Pin) shim to my rifle. - Robert in FL

    I received my purchase today thank you for your prompt service. So I was online looking for a smarter way to take a little of the wobble out of my upper and lower and I came across your video on the shims for a cop / muzzle brake just so happened I needed some so I went on so I went on your site to get them and what did I find a smarter way to take the wobble out of my upper and lower so I also purchased the pivot pin shims. God works in mysterious ways, Thanks Again I'll be sure to keep your information. - Matt in NM

    TECH TIP: AR-10 Pivot Pin Shim Demonstration
    by Sgt Vance


    Lance, Thank you for your wonderful service. The shims arrived yesterday and I installed them this morning. The difference is night and day, groups that were 2 1/2 inches at a hundred yards went to 3/4 of an inch at a hundred yards. Thank You Again for this little miracle device. Joe in PA

    Lance,
    I just got home and I installed one .002 shim and one .003 shim on the front takedown pin
    and it cured the looseness/wobble between my upper and lower. Wow, you have a great product there guys!
    Thanks, Don in Knoxville, TN

    Hello Lance, I had no idea just how effective shimming my upper would be. Prior guns I've built with an Aero Precision upper and Spike's Tactical lower usually have a pretty good fit, but this particular combo required a .005 and .004 shim to remove all the slop. Sure, I went in expecting an improvement. But what I got was nothing short of jaw dropping. No play whatsoever yet the gun still opens smooth as silk with zero binding of any sort. Amazing improvement. I'm now going back and shimming all my other ARs so each is equally perfect. Glad I bought the big pack. You rock! Kevin

    Lance,
    Got your shims in today. I have a Palmetto State Carbine with a 12 inch free float hand guard. I'm attaching shots of the pivot pin up close with your shims installed. I had to use one .002" shim and one .003" shim to get it just right. It was not the easiest to install but the effort is well worth it. Now the upper to lower fit is rock solid with still smooth operation when opening the rifle. I will try my best to never remove the pivot pin to avoid having to re shim. Excellent product, super fast shipping, incredibly satisfied. Very precise product. Thanks! ~ Jimmy D.


    Hi Lance, Just wanted to let you know I'm very happy with my Front Take Down Pins Shims (Item# AR-15 PPSP) I ended up using a .003" shim on each side, and now the upper on my precision AR doesn't move from side to side. The shims were nicely packaged too. Thanks for a Great Product and God Bless You and Your Family ~ D.R. in VA

    Customer Testimonial on our AR-15 Pivot Pin Shims;

    Hello Lance,
    I received my package of shims this week, shipping was fast, packaging and parts are in pristine condition.
    I couldn't be more satisfied to purchase this assortment of AR-15 pivot shims. The option of three different sizes allows you to fit correctly. As a bench rest shooter I am confident these shims will eliminate the variance in my upper receiver. This is really a hard to find item and is a quality upgrade. It was a pleasure to do business with TriggerShims.com
    Thanks.... Jim in Michigan

    Small ID Pivot Pin Shims

    Joe writes;
    I need a AR-15 Pivot Pin Shim to fit the Cross Armory Pin Pal

    I looked into it and found Cross Armory manufactures an ingenious little device to replace the Front Takedown Pin.
    Apparently in the heavily gun regulated states where elected officials don't believe in our Great American Constitution, AR-15 owners are now opening their receivers with great frequency.......
    I guess it is because of the "Fixed Mag"

    Anyway, their new design front pivot pin device requires an new size AR-15 Pivot Pin Shim,
    and since I am The Shim Guy, I manufactured them.

    Introducing the 3/16" ID AR-15 Pivot Pin Shim #AR15SIDPPS or
    AR-15 Small ID Pivot Pin Shim
    With the same OD as a standard AR-15 Pivot Pin Shim, and a .189" ID,

    made specifically to fit the Cross Armory Pin Pal.

    Accu-Wedge

    Drop-In Accuracy Fix; Stops Unwanted Movement Between Receiver Halves
    Can be used in combination with our Pivot-Pin Shims.

    One of the fastest, easiest, cheapest accuracy-improvements you’ll ever find for your AR! Tough, high-density synthetic rubber wedge drops into the space behind the rear takedown pin in the lower receiver to provide tension between the receiver halves and prevent movement for improved accuracy. Takes the “loose gun” factor out of the equation, so you shoot tight, consistent groups. Can be trimmed to accommodate any variation in upper-to-lower receiver fit.

    The "Poor Man's" Trigger Job

    JP Ent AR-15 Springs

    Spending $140 or more for trigger parts on every AR-15 rifle you may own may not be realistic. If you can't quite pop for a JP Enterprises complete trigger kit, or have too many rifles and can't justify expensive triggers in all of them, then this may be for you. You can achieve a significant improvement over stock parts by using a set of JP custom trigger/hammer springs. With proper sear and hammer notch preparation, a livable 4.5 to 5.0 smooth trigger in a rifle with standard trigger components is possible. It will not have the extremely short engagement/over travel feel like the JP trigger, but you will have a smooth "roll-off" feel that will give usable trigger control. The spring kit includes trigger, hammer and disconnector spring and complete instructions on how to prep your parts for best results

    Note: Use of this spring kit requires the use of US manufactured (domestic) ammunition or reloads with domestic (non-NATO spec) primers as ignition reliability will beJPS3.5 Tag reduced with hard low sensitivity primers as found in made foreign made ammunition's and NATO specification ammunition. Use these parts only in rifles for recreational or competition shooting. Do not use this spring kit for any defense or duty applications or any AR-10 type rifle.

    Exact Edge Extractor for the Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22. The replacement extractor was manufactured through a EDM process to provide exact tolerances. The geometry has been changed to provide positive ejection every time. One geometry change was moving the hook .015" closer to the rim and changing the angle so that it grabs the spent casing with much more precision and control. The extractor is A2 Tool Steel and hardened to Rc 58~~60 so this extractor will not wear out or round over after years of use.

    Hi Lance,I built one of these CMMG dedicated uppers on your suggestion. I did not want to neuter the M&P carbine lower I built, a rimfire let’s me keep the look. I am very pleased with this gun and the accuracy. I have plenty of accurate bolt 22’s, and love my Anschutz and M-52; but like you, it is my favorite play gun at the range. Thanks for the suggestion ~ Joe

    Link to CMMG .22 LR Conversion Kit
    Dedicated Upper AR-15 .22 Build

    Let me tell you about an AR-15 .22 LR Dedicated Upper I built with parts here at TriggerShims and from Brownell's through the links on this page.
    The conversion kit was made by CMMG and is available in several different configurations.
    I chose the CMMG Stainless Steel .22 LR Kit because the reviews I read said it didn't require any Break-in Time, and besides, I am a sucker for Stainless Steel.
    The kit I have is the Bravo Model SS Conversion Kit with 25 Round Magazine, there is an Alpha Model in Black Phosphate, and an Echo Model in SS with Forward Assist.
    I decided to build a complete Upper Assembly with a Dedicated Barrel, DPMS Flat Top Upper Receiver, Leapers Full Float Tactical Handguard, Leapers Quad Rail Gas Block, (both available above on this page) and cap it off with a DPMS A1 Flash Hider. I like the A1 Flash Hider simply because it is simple, no timing/clock positions to worry about.
    And cheap, you can pick one up for under $8 at Brownell's or at most any Gun Show.

    Brownell's has a lot of AR-15 Stripped Upper Receivers to choose from, some as low as $50 and still excellent quality. I went with a USA Made DPMS A3 and added a forward assist and Ejection Port Cover.
    Precision machined from a premium-grade aluminum forging and hardcoat anodized for extra strength, with a tough, scratch-resistant Teflon coating, I know DPMS makes quality products, or I wouldn't recommend them.
    Brownell's also carries USA Made Receivers from Colt to Aero, Brownell's own brand and others.

    CMMG - AR-15/M16 22LR DEDICATED BARREL

    I have to admit two things, first, shopping for the parts to assemble this gun was a lot of fun, and second, every time I shoot it I grin like a little kid!
    There are a host of very nice AR-15 .22 clones on the market, from the Umarex Colt M4 OPS I saw at Cabela's for $499 on sale to the Mossberg Clone .22 Rifle at Walmart in the $225 range.
    The reason I wanted to go with a Build was I could choose my own combination of parts, I enjoy the planning and shopping, and the sense of accomplishment in having it turn out as planned.
    I could have just added the CMMG .22 conversion to my .223 upper, but I wanted a dedicated .22 barrel and the M4 Contour CMMG AR-15/M16 Dedicated .22 LR Barrel looked like a very nice barrel for the price, with the promise of better accuracy with the 1 in 16" twist rate common in .22 LR rimfire rifles.

    How To Build an AR-15 .22 Rifle Parts Picture

    You can see in the picture here to the left all the parts I used to build my .22 Rifle Upper,
    the CMMG conversion kit came with a chamber adapter for a .223 barrel, (not shown) and the CMMG barrel came with an adapter for .22 which I have changed out on the bolt in the picture.
    Since I sold off my old upper, I didn't have any parts to reuse, so I had to purchase all the parts here in this picture. You may want to re-purpose some of the parts you have on your .223 cal upper, and that is the great part of this build, all the parts are interchangeable with standard mil-spec AR-15 parts.
    If you are using a .223 upper, the barrel gets replaced, the gas tube gets removed, and the bolt gets replaced with the conversion bolt.
    If you are building from the ground up as I did, consider our Leapers UTG Free-Float Quad Rail System for sale above.
    By using the Free Float Quad Rail, you will not need a Delta-Ring Assembly or a HandGuard Cap.

    You will also need a Front Sight or a Gas Block, not for gas in this case but rather to mount your front sight to.
    The CMMG Barrel is not cross drilled for an A2 Front Sight, and I wanted a gas block anyway since I was planning on using optics and could always add a clamp-on flip-up fromt sight later.
    The Leapers UTG Quad Rail Gas Block I can recommend without hesitation. Strong with Excellent Machining and a great Hard Anodized finish, it fits .750" barrels and has 2 set screws instead of one like many have, and it too is Made in the USA!

    USA Made AR-15/M16 UPPER RECEIVER ACTION BLOCK

    Next, we will be discussing the tools you will need to assemble your AR-15 .22 Rifle conversion.

    AR-15 Tools    -Click to Enlarge-

    To install or remove a Barrel from a Receiver, you will need an Upper Receiver Action Block. I bought the Brownell's AR-15 Action Block

    The Brownells Upper Receiver Action Block as shown in the picture, and have found it to be sturdy and very satisfactory. The Heavy Duty Blocks surround your Receiver inside and out so you can firmly clamp it in a vise without risk of crushing, twisting or distorting it. I use hardwood blocks in my vise to protect the Action Block from damage from the knurling in the vise jaws.

    USA Made AR-15/M16 COMBINATION WRENCH

    You will also need some kind of wrench, there are many on the market with so many configurations it's like buying a Swiss Army Knife, but for this job you really only need a basic AR-15/M16 Combination Wrench.
    Installing the barrel is easy and straight forward. First, Lubricate your receiver threads with a good grease or anti-seize,
    I like Rig Universal Gun Grease, and I put a light coat inside and out of the receiver threads, barrel nut and barrel extension.
    The Barrel Nut needs a minimum of 35 ft lbs of torque, and up to a maximum of 80 ft lbs, so somewhere between those points we need to line up our gas tube holes.
    The conversion barrel doesn't use a gas tube, but the Free Float Hand Guard depends on it's alignment for proper alignment of the rails.
    After installing the barrel nut, the Full Float Quad Rail slides on and is held in place with 4 screws included in the hardware kit.
    Make sure to put a drop of Blue Locktite on the screws and snug down evenly.
    Slide the Quad Rail Gas Block on the barrel and level it to the upper receiver, put a drop of Locktite on the clamp screws and snug them down too. Last, install the A1 Flash Hider, use a Barrel Vise or Hardwood Blocks in a vise and lightly tighten it on the barrel.
    Install the Charging Handle and CMMG Bolt and you are ready to mount the Upper Receiver to the Lower.

    I have had this gun for a year now, and I wanted to do this video to show how easy it was to assemble a Dedicated .22 Cal AR-15 Upper.
    The CMMG Conversion has worked flawlessly for me and the CMMG WASP Barrel is quite accurate. The whole thing is topped off with a Rimfire Optimized Nikon P-22 2-7X32 with BDC 150 Reticle that not only looks good with the matching AR Platform Rings, but is clear and easy to use.
    I have had so much fun with this gun that it has achived Favorite Gun Status in my book.
    If you talk to the folks at CMMG or Nikon, tell them Lance sent you, and I Promised that their products would not disappoint.

    Lance and Tammy,
    I just wanted to say THANKS for the AR-15 Take Down Pivot Pin Shim Kit. It completely eliminated the play I had. You saved me a lot of time and prevented me from buying a new upper or lower. The Blue .003 shim fit perfectly. I'll recommend you on the YouTube videos and forums about the wobble most people don't like, and how to fix it. The rubber O ring "trick" seemed to work, but once you look inside they are broken. (I tried many sizes)
    Live long and prosper, Sean
