Also that detent sucks to lose when you launch it.....

The Armorer's Prayer generally involves cussing, kneeling, and promising any listening diety whatever they want to not have the gun out of commission while waiting for Brownells to ship a $0.30 part...

Mine would too, but would probably ingest it right after

And if I’m honest I may have a pro screw this first one together, although this one shouldn’t be too too bad since I have a complete upper, but still. Haven’t decided for sure yet.

I recommend the how-to videos from Brownells. Free on YouTube and they break it down so even I can understand them.
