    i have a qustion on installing a Geissesle trigger

    I am installing a new Geissele trigger on my AR and the pins have grooves in them, Does it matter what side the grooves go in, The instructions doesn't mention nothing about it.

    They are identical so it doesn't matter.

    What if the grooves are on the opposite sides of each other.

    Are you using standard trigger pins? All the Geissele triggers I have seen to include the ALG have pins grooved on both sides and the center. It doesn't matter which way you put them in. The hammer is held in place by the J spring and hammer spring rests on top op the trigger pin and holds it in place.

    The pins that came with my G-triggers only had grooves on one end


    The instructions had an illustration showing the groove installed on the left, so that's how I did it. I was told in another thread that which direction the groove went did not matter unless installing a full auto trigger (post 11 in this thread https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=72111)

    In any case, I've never had a problem with either of my G-triggers

    The direction doesn't matter but its easier to start the side with no grove as you don't have to push the grove past the spring legs twice

    Odd, mine had all 3 just like the ALG's. You are correct in that it truly only matters with an auto sear.

    The groves should be on the safety selector lever side of the receiver.
