I was gonna say, there’s nothing to it. You have to learn how to get the hammer strut positioned before seating the takedown latch, but other than making sure the firing pin stop stays in the bolt, it’s quickly mastered. Someone called it a Chinese puzzle, but a real one of those is a C96 Broomhandle Mauser, an amazing design to break down, how it all fits together so intricately.

That seems to be the bugaboo for most people. Hold the gun barrel up at the right angle and gravity does it for you.
