I have had this Wilson Combat stripped lower for about 4 months now and finally got around to building it. I purchased a Rock River lower parts kit to install because I have heard good things about the trigger. This video is a little long but I feel like all the info in the video is important. This is the second lower that Ive built, and it really isnt that hard to do. With a little mechanical inclination, the average person could get this done. I hope this video helps you guys out and maybe answers some questions on the difficulty of this process.

I followed along and built my lower with zero problems.
I wish you had done the build with s second camera operator. You got in the way of the parts a few times. But i'ze smurt nad figered it out! 🙂
Instead of instructing you should try learning…lot of mistakes.
2018 You got screwed!
You know Wilson doesn't their lowers don't you?
The part where he failed to show the pin and spring for the bolt release was when I had to move to a different video.
Seriously, these videos need to take an extra 5 seconds to show a good close up of which pin and spring they are talking about. There's a shit ton of springs and pins in a lower kit, so simply saying "put the spring and pin in there" doesn't really help someone doing it for the first time which makes up 99% of the people watching this video.
You forgot to mention, don't put any of the springs in your nose or ears. I lost one now.. help!
A video like this is good to show how easy it is to do something incorrectly or overlook something.
Dude u suck how u gonna try to teach someone how to build the lower wen u skip parts ..I'm looking for a better video hope no one listens to this guy
This was a great video!! Very easy to follow!
What song do you have playing at the beginning. Asking for a friend.
takes almost five fucking minutes before you even move a part… fuck you.
so this is serveral years later and all i really wanted to see was how to get the fucking hammer pin in but … well you know… you didn't even show that… so have a down vote!
I got a Anderson lower for 50 bucks today I'm in SC…. watching lots of videos to do the parts kit. thanks for the video
I don't have a vice either, so I'll have to do it this way also.
Fuckin Pantera playing in the background m/
Great vid. +1 for having NIN playing quietly in the background.
nice great vid
you can install the bolt catch and trigger guard with pliers instead of a hammer. just tape the end that touches the receiver.
Sorry, but this is a pretty poor video. If you are a first time builder, I recommend you watch the assembly video at midwayusa.com or find it here (by Larry Potterfield). He does recommend some tools and equip that aren't essential for the one-time or occasional builder, but I believe it's a much better video. This one doesn't seem to be assembled correctly, as mentioned in previous comments, and I cringed when he hammered the trigger guard pin in with the lower unsupported…that's a good way to break off the "ears." Just my opinion folks; you're free to agree or disagree.
great video brother thank you
1. looks like the mag button is backwards. 2. the trigger reset springs big end goes in the trigger hole, looks like you have it backwards. 3. instead of using a punch, I just use channel lock pliers, to beating required. 4. the forward takedown pin detent, I just install the detent, then just push the pin over into the hole, no shim or box cutter required. 5. when I install the mag release button, I don't push the button in with a punch or anything, just pull the catch plate while you rotate, it pulls the button in without using a punch. Just a few suggestions, like you said, a million ways to do it.
Liked and SUBBED THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for sharing helped a lot for my build
Decent video. Couple tips….install safety selector BEFORE trigger, or some triggers with a thicker baseplate you'll have to remove to install your selector. Secondly, ambidextROUS, not ambidextRIOUS.
Fuck yeah for slipknot playing in the background. Also, very informative video.
Your video was so easy to follow, I had my dog watch the video and then he assembled my lower for me. What a good boy!
I thought you did an excellent job showing how to assemble the lower. Not sure what the thumb downs are about……..but probably some experts in their own mind douches.
Worked perfect for me, I had my 300 blackout setup ready to go with this vid and was out shooting it the same day. I liked that he did not use a vice and the perfect setup… I don't have a vice or a magazine holder… got the job done.
I think the trigger disconnect spring is upside down. The larger end should be down and it should snap into place.
I used this to put together my stripped lower. this was my first time even laying eyes on these parts. It was difficult seeing which part you were using. Especially not knowing the terminology. that's my main gripe. I made no mistakes aside from not getting the pin through the disconnector.
noticed that you had a different bolt catch on it ….when it fast forward…what was that..
best tutorial on yr
Much, much easier if you use a vise and the magazine block to hold the receiver while you install the parts.
Didn't show how he set the box cuter… Bullshit
Pencil eraser works really well when installing magazine catch !..no scrathes!!
Thanks for this awesome video.
I just finished my AR build using your video as a guide. Thanx for the help!
Your video was very helpful. Thanks!
Used your video to install my LPK into stripped lower receiver. Thanks for the video! This was my first build, also is my first AR. Had some issues following you (pins, detents, springs, etc.), so I had to rewind to see things that you apparently did off camera, but I got the jist. I've seen other videos as well and new my way around the parts kit, so that helped.. Thanks for the video!
horrible video… he puts half the stuff in off camera and is like… oops sorry… cant go back….. horrible video for a first time builder…
Alright then,..
An ok video for a beginner, but when you say things like "the pin" or "the buffer" without showing the piece close up, it's not helpful because I don't know what piece you're talking about. A description would even be good.
You installed the mag release button backwards..the groves should be facing out, not in
makes an install video….installs most things off camera lol
Great vid, clear and step by step without stories or blah – blah. Thank you for taking the time!!!!!
easier way to do that front taketown pin -.. just press down on the detent with the pin and twist it while pushing it into the lower. It worked so much better for me that using a razor/knife.
you are not lubing anything in this video you should be lubing the detentes to make it easier for them to not get stuck. your safety switch is a great example of how a little lube would go a long way and make your weapon operate better.
Good stuff – good orientation to building a lower.
When installing pins, it's a good idea to place the far side of the work piece on a block of wood or other material. That gives the worker a stable work surface, stops the pin when its flush on the other side and keeps the pin in the work piece if it's a loose fit.
Keep up the good work!
How much in parts all together and where did u pick up ur lower receiver
