I put together my first lower the other day and for the most part it was straight forward. The only part that I'm worried that might be wrong is the orientation of the detent pins on the pivot and takedown pins.

The problem is that the PSA detent pins have both a rounded and a sharper cone like side. In all instruction videos they say to put the "rounded side" toward the takedown pins. But most other detent pins look like one side is flat, the other rounded. I guessed that the rounded side was supposed to be the flat side, and the agressive sharp side was supposed to be the "rounded".

Does anyone know if I installed the more aggressive pointy side of the detent pin toward the takedown pins if this was backwards?

The pivot pin has been extremely hard to get in and out (slowly getting better) and still needs to be punched out gently. Worried I got the detent pin backwards. The takedown is much easier to move than the pivot.

Thanks for your advice, just want to make sure this was correct.
