I am putting my newest lower together. Installed trigger and disconnector. Then installed hammer. Then manually tried to cock hammer, and the trigger pushes forward. After looking it all over, I see the hammer is hitting further back on the disconnector than it should be. So I am thinking disconnector is out of spec. I replace it. Same thing. OK, replaced hammer, still does it.  
It hits so far back that if I hold the trigger back, the hammer won't slide past the disconnector. Everything pivots as it should.
Other than pins holes out of spec, I can think of anything else.

Perhaps I am just completely confused by your description.  But when you cock the hammer, the trigger is supposed to go forward.  It is called reset, and without it, you would only be able to fire one round through your rifle.

No, I mean if I am holding the trigger back as in being pulled, it pushes it forward when I cock hammer. The hammer is pushing the disconnector past the pivot point making it push the trigger down, making it go forward.
I'm thinking this would be a bad case of trigger slap. If I hold the trigger all the way back, the hammer will not slide past the disconnector.

The safety selector will limit some of the trigger's free rearward movement once it's installed. Have you installed the safety selector yet and retried it?
