Why the multiple holes, Jim? Just curious. Here is what mine looks like. I made several in case I ever needed to give any away to friends.

I wrote that as a joke. They are 1/4" clevis pins from the hardware store. I have both single & multiple hole ones. It's one of those items you put down then go , where the heck did i leave it? I had turned a piece of nylon rod, then realized (WTHDILI[Bang] ) So off to hardware store for a drill bit. AS i'm wandering the aisles (trumpets) there's a box of clevis pins!
What you do turn 1/4-20 or 5/16 allen heads down?
You and Jim with your fancy tools.......
I just use a feeler guage to hold down the pin / spring and move quickly, only had one pin fly across the room in putting together 4 lowers. So 1 in 4 isn't bad right?[Coffee]
Now removing one is a PITA.
To the OP which ever you decide, not really hard to do with what was listed for basic tools in this thread, i can do most myself as I like to be self supporting, but too technically or need an expert's eye i hand off. If you want a professional, BP can do it to and as you can see highly regarded on here.
It's a 20-45 min job. Bert should do it as he is a lic. smith. I am unable to build anything for anyone. Assisting someone who has questions, that is a different story.
I can do it. But it will require beer. Good Beer. pm me if you still need it done.
If you're uncomfortable take it to Bert then hang out and watch a pro, you'll learn a lot. Money well spent.
We've got at least 2 great gunsmith's on here. Bert@BP and Robb@Bower's. Use either one with confidence if your not comfortable doing your own lower. It's really not that hard to do yourself though. [Beer]
I'm an absolute newbie and built my first lower last night with the tools I had available in my garage - No issues at all....Took about a half hour.
