Yes. Agree. And thanks for heads up. Most of my parts are from Anderson. Including 18” 1:8 barrel.

I am impressed with the precision of their forged or die cast components, but chose not to use some components.

Have good friend that is a gunsmith. He will be inspecting final stage. I don’t have go/no go gauge, he does. I have tools for rest of assembly. He has built several hundred of them.

When I have the stock and fore grip installed I will go visit him again. Have know him from childhood. It is a small town.

Having the right tools and good documentation helps. When building lowers, I do the steps with small springs inside a gallon plastic bag. That prevents the occasional flyer from disappearing forever. A little masking tape to protect the finish helps when placing the roll pin for the bolt catch. The go/no-go headspace gauges are an important safety check before putting a live round in the chamber. Good luck on your next build.
