Now I just need you to teach me how to drive it Kurt. Oh, and to finish building it. The red dot is just holding the rail tight. I just fit it loosely. I'm gonna run fixed iron sights.

Basically.

I am a cheap butt so I just use a nail punch, pliers and a mallet.

Exactly. I mean the right tools make it easier, but most of the roll pin punches are basically a nail punch. they do have some punches that have recessed tips which make it easier to get them in without marring, but technically, if you take your time, you should be ok without them.

Just make sure and support the ears on it when putting the pins in the trigger guard, otherwise, you will be using some JB Weld......

I've put several lowers together and the $30 set of punches is worth the money for even one. They really do make it easier to do by yourself.

support the ears on what? ill take any advice and definitely dont wan to break anything. the ears on the lower?

Where the roll pin holds the trigger guard. I just use the edge of my bench. It helps to put a little gun oil on the roll pin and the holes in the lower.
