I shot that thing across the room twice before getting it in there! haha I've decided that you can leave that spring out until after you screw the buffer tube in to catch the retaining pin, THEN you can insert the spring, compress it, and twist the tube the final 'smidgeon' to capture with the backing plate!
Kinda painful to watch. Aside from completely obscuring most of what you did, you didn't even show some portions of the assembly (like installing the buffer retainer) and the tiny parts involved that many people get confused by (and thus turn to TH-cam for instruction). Everything else you did was clumsy and disorganized.
It's like the video was made as a 5th grade "show & tell" project. I suppose it may be interesting to see the parts laid out and the obscured process of installation, but it's definitely not instructional in any way. The guy probably could do better if he thought about people watching it, rather than just basically & almost randomly showing himself doing it.
I ended bending my take down retainer spring. Clipped off the bent part, still works just fine.
That spring is a pain in the butt. Especially if it's your 1st time doing it 😂

Thanks for the help, brother.

You didn't torque your castle nut. Or stake it. Or Lok-tite it.
And it still runs like a champ. Lmao. Weld that thing on if you need to. 😂
@@Jason40sw You need to torque the castle nut 38-42 ft pounds. The friction between the castle nut and end plate is what holds it...
and it will make no difference what so ever.
@@timrobinson6573 until it comes loose.
@@Jason40sw there’s a correct way to do things. This is not the way.
Where can I buy that small spring?
Brownells
WTF?
Please speak clearly
