So I finally assembled my first AR lower. It took me a while (damn that pivot pin detent!! Piiiiiiiiing... across the garage it went with 0.00% hope of recovery...) as I had to buy / wait for a replacement part or three to arrive...
Assembling the lower was a great experience and I enjoyed doing it very much. Talk about learning a lot of great info.
I believe I now understand the engineering theories and said "simple" assembly process (it is easy, if I can do it... yadda yadda yadda) of the AR rifle lower receiver.
The question I ran into during assembly is: Why is the trigger a separate part from the disconnect (and associated disconnect spring) an additional part? Would it it be better as one big part??
I am not an engineer and do not know the intricate details so maybe there is a machining concern? The DisCon needs its own spring because??
