This is my very first lower parts kit assembly. I did great exept I put the trigger guard in back asswards. The roll pin in the front hole. I am so pissed at myself. Any ideas to get it right. Drill it out?

Well the best bet might be to leave it in but I would guess the roll pin is probably sticking out some?

Is there enough sticking out to pry the pin back out?  Most roll pins are hardened steel and it may be tough to drill.

Got a pic?

Been there done that with only a slight idiot mark on the magwell of the lower.    

There should be enough pin left sticking out so that you can grab it with a small set of diagonal cutters.  Put some padding over the lower so as not to mar the finish and work it out a little at a time until you can grab it with something bigger like a set of vice grips.  Try not to crush the roll pin so you can reuse it.

Should not be a problem, just be careful.
