Just built my second lower in 20 minutes, and not one spring shot across the room not one part went flying, unlike my first built which took a week because I had to order parts that shot across the yard, I build outdoors under my carport.
This build is a core 15 lower on a BCM upper for my oldest son for Christmas, I gave my youngest son a 4" 357 revolver he wanted planing my third build for the spring. What have you guys done to me? I'm addicted is there a cure?

Yes, it gets easier, and actually more fun every time. It's a combination of experience and lower frustration that does this.
I recommend building indoors, seated, and on a non-carpeted floor. I can't remember the last time I had a spring-loaded something get away from me, but I'm still prepared for it. Some people recommend putting the lower in a large freezer bag when installing "launch-capable" parts, but I got past that part of the learning curve before I heard of this technique. And yes, it's not only easier, it's even more habit-forming. It's a terminal disease with a prognosis for more spending and eventual need for a larger (or another) gun safe. There's no hope. At least you have a support group here!
