Malice4you 627 Posted January 6, 2018 A clear plastic bag to work inside or at least a damn clean area where those %^*$ing parts will be easier to spot if/when they fly. And tape on tools or around strategic locations for less chance of marring. I followed instructions from ARFCOM (I think) and even my first one really only took 30-45 minutes going really slow and paranoid. It feels more intimidating that first time before you do one. After you're done, you question both "why was I so worried about this?", and "why didn't I do this way sooner?" Good luck 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,417 Posted January 6, 2018 Get the ALG trigger to drop in instead of the one that came with the Lower Parts Kit. Tape around the lower when doing the mag release pin. Get used playing FindTheDetent. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,120 Posted January 6, 2018 I think this is one of the videos I used when I was building mine. The guy shows you a few neat tricks to make the process easier. I didn't have to use a bunch of fancy tools either. I did buy a small brass and nylon hammer at HF though. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
