Hi guys, I'm new to the board. Thanks to the owners and mods for making such a cool forum.

Has anybody tried to build one of these? Was there any difficulties? Was the barrel and trunion together from the box? I got the receiver already, but have not ordered the kit yet, as I want to make sure the trunnion is on the barrel.  Thanks in advance for any info.

Piece of cake. The trunion is off the barrel, and all rivets are already removed. The hardest part of the build was getting the damn mag release put into the trigger guard. This build only took 45 minutes to complete, excluding the 25 minutes trying to get the mag release fitted.

My kit was a matching #'s from Centerfire.

Hey sportsnut, how did you get the barrel onto the trunion? Was the headspacing right? I don't have access to a press.

Dead blow hammer. Headspace was fine, # matching kit.
