    Good for you man!I followed your thread from the start since first posted to see how it turned out and I'm glad to see they (aero-precision) took cake of the problem for you!Thats good to know when a company steps up to the plate!Some of the 'best' AR companys out there would tell you that you have to 'pay' for their 'mistakes'.Anyway, also good to see that your lower went together smoothly.The 'propper' roll pin punches do make a world of differance when it come to quality craftsmanship and gettin' it put together right the first time!Have a good one!

    Good to hear SA&A stepped up to the plate as well. I've been there several times to buy tools, parts & ammo.

    If someone is struggling with that then they sure as hell won't be able to installed the trigger guard, lower receiver extension or even a barrel.
    +1 on this technique, this what I used and if I worried about the the finish I just put tape down under the pin

As it turned out, SA&A did not have any more Aero lowers in stock and didn't seem to know when they would get more. I accepted a new (Aero made) lower with the SA&A rollmark on it in exchange. Charlie at AeroPrecision and Chester at SA&A were both extremely helpful in getting this resolved. I'm very pleased with the customer service I got and will definitely do business with these guys again.

    I installed my LPK into the new SA&A lower tonight using my new set of proper roll pin punches and a little bit of grease on the pins to help things along. It worked out great... having the right tools made a big difference. Thanks to all for your help.
    Good deal, glad it worked out.
