I have a Colt 6920 AR15 that has the .169" trigger and hammer pins and has the stock Mil-Spec trigger assembly.
This rifle has been setting in my safe for years and is new and unfired.
I was getting it cleaned up and ready to use today and I noticed that the hammer pin rotates when moving the hammer and also the trigger pin slightly rotates when pulling the trigger.
It is my understanding that both the hammer and trigger pins have grooves that the springs engage in to prevent them from walking out. But should the pins be rotating? Like I said this is a new rifle unfired.
Also I noticed the pins can be slightly moved side to side with finger pressure. Is this normal?
Thanks
