Assembling my first lower

[daemon734]

My least favorite part is getting the front takedown pin in without launching the detent keeper and spring. I finally got a tool for that and it's made a big difference.

no joke. A $5 tool from adco has made my life so much easier.

Couple tips of my own:

Assemble your lower inside of a large plastic bag, so your detents/springs don't go flying.

You don't need a special tool for the front pivot pin and detent. Use the end of the pin to push in your detent, then rotate the pin into the receiver.
