[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just Built My First Lower Reciver

Posted: 2/19/2007 7:37:24 PM EDT

I just finished building my first lower. It took less that a hour. Not sure where I read the trick of using a clear plastic bag for the Pivot Pin Assembly But thanks to who ever came up with that idea I only launched the detent spring and pin a couple of times into the bag. I finaly used a allen wrench inserted from the other side. I pushed the allen wrench out as I inserted the piviot pin. I am going to rig a install tool for my next build

And so it begins.

Won't be long and you'll be working on another.

I used an allen wrench as well on both of my lowers, worked fine.

Get some pics up when you can.
