Bring it up to the shop and I'll show you how it goes together. They're not complicated at all but it helps to have a couple dedicated tools to make the assembly smoother.

I got it together, took about a hour because I didn't know what spring was for what,
and the hammer was a bitch to position. I bought a wheeler kit a few years ago, comes in handy.
Thanks for the offer.

Its all together now, looked at my other lower and just copied it.

Here is one from Midway on Vimep. Looks decently lit.

Hmm, says it supports Vimeo, but it won't display. (edit, looks like it might have embedding limited)

I googled "brownells ar lower assembly video" and the first link, titled "How to Build An AR-15 Video - Brownells", took me to the following page:

How to build an AR-15 | Top Rated Supplier of Firearm Reloading Equipment, Supplies, and Tools - Colt (brownells.com)

Lotsa links available. It looks like they've redone their videos with Caleb since I did my first build a few years ago.
