Day 1 of assembly complete. I focused on the lower. Completed the Mag and bolt catches (although that bolt catch was a "B-Word"). And this, without my roll pin pusher (I expect that on Tues - Wed.). I did get it installed, but it seems there's isn't a lot of play in that bolt catch. There is some, but I don't know how much I should have and how far the catch should extend.
I also completed the two take-down pins and the buffer tube (with spring and buffer). I would have done the "selector switch" but I bought an "ambidextrous" selector switch and that requires dissembling it with an allen key. Lo and behold, I can't find my Allen Keys (#*@+#*$_@#). I should get them by tuesday 10/20. When I get them (and I get my roll pin pusher, I'll continue work. It's actually going pretty fast. I just hope it's right. Maybe I'll do the FCG and trigger guard while I wait for the other tools.
One thing I have learned... Make absolutely sure you can contain any springs/detents from springing away from you if at all possible. THankfully, I had some spares since I also got the Geiselle takedown pin set. They actually went in pretty easily.
Anyway, Time for some dinner. Tomorrow is another day.
