Other than the Triumph the Insult Dog comment, Love it! :ROFLMAO:

:thumbsup2: Looks great Pablo. My sons and I are lined up for a build party pretty soon. It'll be the first AR build for all of us.

First? No hammers allowed!

No real troubles this build. I lubed the roll pins before inserting, used a roll pin starter and Knipex pliers. Suddenly the bolt catch is the easiest part. The mag release spring was slightly deformed so the button was being pushed to the side, but I have others, threw that one away. Also luckily I have two T-8 drivers, many people don't. The POF trigger comes with different anti-rotation pins, no longer hex drive - and instructions don't call for Torx, just hex drive (one hold, one threading)

Also tired of crappy pivot and takedown pins.

Take a look at the Battle Arms Development or the KNS Precision enhanced takedown and pivot pins.

Thanks. I bought some nice titanium pins a couple years ago for my 10mm. The detent pins, and pivot and takedown pins even the safety levers in the parts kits can be pretty rough.
