After a nice day of sighting the ar10 today I decided to take it down for cleaning.  Apparently I got a little carried away when I took the trigger assembly out not knowing exactly which way the springs go back in.  Anybody have a reference picture out there that could be used here.  My main concern is on the hammer and hammer spring setup.  I reinstalled it and when the trigger is pulled it releases fine but I want to make sure I have the springs lined up correctly.  Newb problems.  Here are some pics of what I have now.

Good to know.  Its all put back together now.  That was the first good cleaning its ever had and the damn thing took a while to get spotless.  A glock usually takes me about an 45 minutes to do top to bottom but this was going on 2 hours.  Any good tips in terms of cleaning out there?

This is just me but I never tear down the lower.  I pull it off and run a patch around the inside of the magazine well and hammer area.  Then I wipe down the outside and that's it.

+1  All you need to do with the lower is give it a wipe down. There is no need to break it down that far unless you have an issue that may be due to build up. I have 1500 plus rounds in my lower and haven't removed the trigger pin etc yet.
You need to clean the bore/barrel as your rifle dictates.
