Walk away from it. That's what I did. Picked it up the next day and it went together just fine.

+1 on the RSA shepard hook replacement, it's just so much easier than anything else ...

The RSA plate will not work on some OOW receivers. It did not work on mine. I had a vector also and had to modify the plate to work on my vector. I even tried the OOW model from RSA but still did not work without modification.

Why do you have the shepard's crook in if the pins are not in place?
Put everything in first, then slip in the shepard's crook. |

I got it! had to push the retaining wire toward the center, then get the pin lined up and pushed through, then slide the wire back into the pin slot. I'm never taking that thing apart again!!

It gets easier with practice. Just be sure the wire is actually in the pin groove so the pin does not walk out, or you get to start over. I put it all in place but the hammer pin, shove the wire down with a screwdriver, then slip the hammer pin thru.

dont buy those E-clips on line- they can be bought from any Lowes or Home depot for like .05 cents a pop... I couldnt believe the people buying them off the EE when they can get them locally so much easier

Crap! Already ordered a few - $3 lesson learned I guess. What section of home depot are they in? |

+1 The L shaped wires work better than any other. You can make them yourself or get them at midwestarmory.com. |

WRT "L shaped wires"... I THINK everyone means the Chinese Shepard Hook wires currently sold by Tapco. And I agree. I'm not generally a fan of Chinese Parts - but the PRC Shepards Hook that uses the selector to lock in place is the best damn part out there... they work in all AK variants, and are VERY easy to insert or remove...
