Video for OLL Assembly

[phantomson9]

Anyone have any good videos to watch for OLL assembly, I just got my kit and my Stock in today and wanna build it up but i am an auditory learner. Meaning i learn better by sound then sight. Anyway i would appreciate a good Assembly video, anyone have a good one to use? Any tips would be nice too cause its my first Lower. Thanks guys!!

Dude, what are you apologizing for? It's all fam here, no worries. I'll always try to help out a fellow gunnie if I can.

Well this sucks, started to build my lower got as far as the bolt catch release and my lower parts kit is missing the bolt catch release roll pin. Awesome i have been waiting for months for this and now i cant build it.

Missing parts

Don't worry. I had a similar thing happen to me with the rear take down
pin spring. Lost somewhere. I called a local gunshop and they had a bin
of small packages containing the various springs etc. individually wrapped.
I think it cost me $1.15
Worst case scenario...cheap as dirt has a pack of springs or pins for ar-15
assembly available.
I used the videos mentioned above. Later I also bought the Brownell's "How
to assemble an AR-15" DVD which is excellent.

Bob Dunlap is awesome, explains everything as he's doing it. Taught 30 years at Lassen CC so he knows how to teach gunsmithing.

I put mine together today using the Life, Liberty Etc youtube guide, pausing and rewinding until I got it right

did you shake down the pistol grip that came with it? I found a couple of roll pins hiding inside the grip.

[phantomson9]

^^^ Yeah that was actually the first thing i though of. I got one from the guys at Independent Armory, great guy i called he told me he had one, he held it for me till i got there and it was 1 dollar. Saved 8 bucks or whatever on shipping.

Have you installed the takedown pins yet? Sometimes if they are well lubed, a spring pin will stick in the detent slot.

[phantomson9]

I put it all together, and never found the Roll pin, good thing i found one at independent. Thanks for all the info guys.
