Decided to put together one of the lowers I have. This is my first lower build. I have owned several ARs but have always bought them as built lowers or complete guns. So I lay out my work bench. Tools ready. Open up the DPMS LPK I bought recently and start the process. Per sugestion I put the trigger guard on first just in case i break the ear off. Success. I look down at the rest of my parts and notice something looks wrong. No trigger or hammer pins in the kit. [fail] I put the rest of the kit on but now I'm bummed. was so excited to build it now I am on hold until I can get 2 pins. Sunday ruined. Time for Dr Jameson.[Cry]

No DD LPK? You're not operator enough. No let us pray, to our holy Chart above.

I have a set of pins too if needed or more convenient.

This is why I never start ANY work until I've laid out all of my parts and checked them against the charts below:

Also, here's a great video to help guide you through the build process (you can stop it and replay as much as you need):

Metal coat hanger will work
I hate when that happens. I have a field repair kit I started to use for spares. Also fun to try your hand at polishing

Honestly, this is kind of a hassle, but it's really not that bad of news... I thought for sure you were going to say that you broke off one of the trigger guard ears!

Thats why I did the trigger guard first. I did buger the roll pin slightly but im sure I will be changing the trigger guard out later anyway so no biggy there
