Now I am going to take a break, I've never had this much good luck in one day, I don't want to push it. All the hard stuff is done (famous last words).
The disconnector spring that came w/ my kit was too big, and wasn't seating properly, so I ended up trying to mod it and destroyed it. Had to buy a new one. Finally had time to work on the lower again tonight and was able to finish it up.

Function tested and everything appears to be working. With Vltor emod stock.

I did end up buying brass punch pins. I used a small lightweight hammer that I purchased for beekeeping. And the castle nut wrench. Also a razor blade for one of the pivot pins. Was able to do it all without marring the lower.

So if I can do it, can't be that hard. Fun project. Next step is to get out to the range and see if it all works.
