Greetings,

 I am following the breakdown instructions stickied above but am having trouble removing the lower receiver.

Steps Taken:
- dry fired and have bolt closed
- removed stock
- removed lower receiver takedown screw
- removed hex screw & lock washer
- Required (missed this): Remove the silver block by sliding it down.
- sliding lower to the rear

At this point the lower sticks (about 1/2 inch to the rear).  I tried to twist back and forth but it is not coming apart.  It appears to me that the trigger mechanism might have something to do with it but I am not 100% sure on this.

Am I doing something wrong or missed a step?  Or is this just hard to get off?

Thank You!

Procedure:
1. Check, if the gun is decocked and unloaded.
2. Turn the gun upside down (figure 13 )
3. Remove the screws of the stock and of the frame. (figure 13)
4. Check, that the chamber is empty.
5. Remove the stock (figure 14) and unscrew the breech-fixing-part
with the multitool (figure 15)
6. Remove the breech fixing part with the multi-tool or by hand. (figure 16)
7. Remove the grip in the succession 1 and 2 (first right then upwards)

Ok, found out what I was doing wrong.

In Step #3 (Remove the hex screw from inside the back of the upper receiver and be careful not to lose the lock washer. Simply side down the block and remove it.) I did not remove the silver block.  I thought the directions were talking about the hex screw and lock washer only (the second part made me have a big huh look).
