Anyone use a Wilson Combat LPK?

[Blinking Dog]

I used Wilson Combat LPKs on two builds, and another LPK on a 3rd build. I think the Wilson Combat pivot pins' diameter are a tad large, perhaps to reduce play between the upper and lower...? Although, seems like if they're MilSpec they should be the same as my other pivot pins. Either way, I'm thinking they're a bit big by a smidge. Why do I think that? I have to use a rubber mallet to get the pins in. And I have to work hard to get them out as well. And, when I do get the uppers and lowers apart, I can put my uppers on a different lower without a problem.

Maybe it's just the combination of parts I've used, but it essentially comes down to the pins as far as I can tell when I troubleshoot.

Just wondering if anyone else has used Wilson Combat pivot pins, and if you've had a similar problem.

I say problem, but maybe it isn't so much a problem as an inconvenience. I'm used to being able to push pins out somewhat easily, especially the back pin so I can pull out the BCG without a tool. Can't do that with these builds.

Thoughts?

All of my uppers and lowers fit differently in different combinations. That very well could be the cause. I had to hammer in some regular mil-spec pins on my Northtech lower with a certain Vltor upper. My other Vltor fits perfect. But, then my mil-spec upper is loose.

The quickest way to tell is to measure them with some calipers.
