Lube, function check, hand cycle a few rounds (dummy rounds are preferable for safety, if you have any). If everything works ok then go shoot & hope you put it together correctly.

Load only 2 to 4 rounds in the first magazine.  Check the safety - put it on and try to pull the trigger, then let it off to see if it follows.  Second, shoot a few 5 round magazines to make sure the disconnect works before loading 20 or 30 rounds and finding that it goes full auto.  

And then have fun.
