Nothing is more exciting than seing your first ar build come together piece by piece. At the same time nothing is more frustrating than having something catastrophic happen to stop the build right in its tracks.
I am building my AR with a Seekins Percision lower, everything thing was coming together beautifully until the last piece. Rear take down pin detent! With the Seekins lower a couple of things that are difference, the bolt release, integrated trigger and the position of the rear detent pin. It is located right next to the safty detent and its held in by a tiny hex head screw, which i found out the hard way stripps very easily. After trying for another 30 mins I gave up and called Seekins. After I explained what happened they admitted that it has happened before, but to my surprise they offer to pay the shipping for me to send in my receiver and they offer to replace it. On top of that Matt the gunsmiith offered to put together the new lower if I send them the lower parts. That sure calmed me down a whole lot.
I know things happen when you dread it the most but so far the service from Seem top notch, I will keep you updated with what happends.
