I borrowed my buddy's tools and put my lower together tonight. Went together as expected with no major issues. The selector is a bit tougher than expected to move from fire to safe (yes the hammer is cocked). Is this something that will smooth out as the rifle gets used?

And since EVERYONE loves pictures (even when they aren't from stickman) here are some from my build so far..


Cleaning/Lubing parts prior to install (Using EEOX for now.. couldn't find Breakfree CLP locally)



protecting the lower while installing the most irritating roll pin ever (they really need to start using captive pins with setscrews instead of rollpins)



installed damage free



almost done



Finished!



And just so I have an idea of the final product (I really need to grab a few preban 30rd mags!)
