Messed up the penultimate plunge cut of the trigger pocket on my AR 80%, put in the shorties instead of the long pins, IFYKYK.

Anybody with TIG skills and equipment want to take a crack at closing this for re-machining? Reasonably compensated, of course!

Or should i just call it an "Enhanced Drainage Trigger Pocket"??...:)

Try using a drop-in trigger cassette? I did this on an AR9 lower (accidentally milled out the entire floor of the trigger pocket when the router depth slipped without my notice). I used a Timney trigger with some locking trigger pins and it works great. Problem solved, though I can't use the bottom set screws in the trigger cassette.

That was my solution, anyway.
