4/17 update
lower ready to go. adventure begins

taped up. next time gonna use thicker tape like electrical tape over blue tape. damn punch went right thru the blue tape

more tape. gimme a break it's a brand new noveske. it still wasn't enough IMO

pushed in with vise grips

then finished with punch. note to self: use roll pin punches next time. regular punch fkd up the pin
bolt catch in. Geissele trigger installed

crap! needed to install safety first. trigger comes out and safety goes in. grip on

trigger goes back in and buffer ready for install


on but not tightened. don't have a castle nut wrench. need to buy one

skipped taking pics of the takedown pins going in
ready for the upper

lessons learned:
have the right tools for the job. gonna buy some roll pin punches
safety first!...before trigger
I think next time I'll do everything using my tipton gun vise w/ mag block
Hope to be completing the upper very soon
