I have been trying to push the magazine catch spring and have the magazine catch aligned to put the bolt in but it just seems impossible to do. I am sure there is an easier way but I am just not seeing it. Any ideas or a video that you think might help?

See the last post in the "Help with Mag catch" thread on this page.

I did but it does not say anything about the assembly of it. What I am trying to figure out is a practical way to put the mag catch spring and the mag catch together. I took it apart because the ping that olds the spring and mag catch together was separating after every load and it was getting annoying to align it every time.

not an easy feat at all. I think they must assemble them before they rivet them to the rifle, n/c when not on the rifle, it's relatively easy to do. The last time I did it, it took me 2 springs and about 3 hours of grumbling before I got it. If you can find a small pair of spring compressing pliers, that would be your best bet.
