trigger pins

i have built 2 dpms lowers with dpms supplied parts.
everytime, the trigger pin walks out.
i did change to anti walk pins, but i know i built correctly, has anyone experienced this.
my other brands, dont have that issue, but we know dpms bushmaster and remington are one now.

I have never had that problem if the spring Retainers are properly positioned in the pin grooves....

The legs of the hammer and trigger springs hold the pins in

If you have the pins with the grooves to the left rather than the right, the hammer pin, for one, will not be retained by the spring.
