slide the pivot and take down pins to the right (these are in the lower)

align upper onto lower

push in the pins

you may need to put the pivot(front) pin in first, then pivot the upper into place, and push the takedown(rear) pin in

as these are new, the pins may be pretty stiff till the wear in

WOW!

I just did it, I had NO IDEA it would be so easy!

I thought the pins would have to come all the way out, and I was trying to figure out how I was going to get those tiny springs back in there, after I tried it, I see they only slide to the right, but don't come out, sweet!

I have a complete 6.5 Grendel AR15!!!
