FYI for all the new people. During the installation of the first pivot pin that he installed, you will one day send that detent and spring into space it will fall into the Bermuda triangle never to be seen again. My suggestion is to have extras until your skills are honed.
This video is an advertisement for their business. Most UA-camrs survive off add revenue, which they won't get if their videos are demonetized. You're comparing apples and pmags.
Do the safety and grip last and level the two ears of the lower with the lower flat surface of the receiver extension. Use an automatic centering punch for staking.
Mechanic's trick. When you have to put a screw on the tip of the screwdriver and insert the screw through the pistol grip, place a strong magnet on the metal of the screw driver and the screw / washer should not fall off.
3rd option: Little piece of paper towel on it and then jam it onto the driver/socket so it sticks (but only if it's a hex screw, torx screw, or 6 sided bolt)
While the disconnector and bolt catch plunger springs are similar, they are different. Particularly, the disconnector spring is wider on the bottom end than the top, if you put this in recess for the bolt catch spring, it is entirely possible it binds and catches in the hole, removing tension on the plunger and bolt catch itself which will cause issues with cycling, feeding, lockback, etc. Don't mix them up.
Off topic question; other than length, what's the diff between the Trex Arms "lightbar" and the Arisaka Inline scout mount? Specifically, why Shouldn't the inline mount be used to cantilever the scout light. Much thanks of this gets answered!
The light bar is longer, stronger, and spaces the light slightly further from the axis of the handguard than the Arisaka inline. The Arisaka inline is much more slim and low-profile. I have both mounts, and can definitely say each is best for its intended use. If you try to cantilever the Arisaka inline, it will definitely break eventually, if not quickly. The light bar is much stronger.
When it comes to the bolt catch installation; if using a USGI FCG, install the FCG first and use the hammer to keep the bolt catch from moving around. Makes for a stupid easy installation of the bolt catch…. I can hear the nay-sayers now “BuT iT dOeSn’T wOrK”; yes it does. I’ve used this method a lot, because being lazy makes some things easier. Not having to use your third hand to hold the bolt catch is really helpful
Sweet, l just bought an Ironside holster for my duty Glock 34 and l like, but l wonder if you guys ever going to do a duty holster version and compete with Safariland.
Likely not, T-Rex is a kydex company not an injection molding company. You couldn’t economically make a holster that beats a safariland on features or price out of kydex
Worth the $50 you’re charging for it literally just because I trust you more than aero precision to remember to include all the detents. Schmid also makes a fantastic trigger that costs like $60. Frankly I think it’s a product T-Rex should carry. Geisseles are nice, but $250 is usually better spent elsewhere.
I’m not a fan of the bad lever because the one I purchased had too much play in it for my liking. I prefer the phase 5 weapon systems lever. But overall, I’m a fan of having that feature.
For some reason, he didnt show the spring that goes in first when installing the front pivot pin. So anyone new, a spring goes in that lil hole then the detent then the TD pin
I was a little thrown off at first when he said "we get to be a little more particular with the other parts we put on" Then pull out an A2 grip....... But then again that is particular about what you want
A5 system, is the way. Tho I prefer a Tubbs flatwire over Sprinco green. Sprinco is hard to beat, but I find the merits of a flatwire spring vs coiled to be worth it. The smoother and quieter impulse from an A5H2(your weight may vary) & Tubbs flatwire is 🤌 😎.
We already know how to put it together. Tell us that the pins are USGI, not dimpled or nitrided or any BS. Tell us that the selector is ambi with a short right arm, etc...
$50 is frankly overpriced for this parts kit. Little yo no mention of where these parts are sourced and this is hardly an upgrade over a typical milspec parts kit that comes with a ambi safety. Youd be better off buying a lower parts kit for $25 and then catching a radian talon on sale for $30 and then you'll be miles ahead.

The detent will be easy to find. It will be embedded in your eyeball.
Radian captured detents are the way.
Every other UA-camr: "I cant insert a mag or attach a suppressor because YT will get mad"
TRex: "Builds a full serialized lower"
I mean there are plenty of YT videos showing how to build a lower....

I like the ambi safety design. definitely will be getting this kit for my 14.5 build.
The Schmid ambi safety is my favorite. It’s so much better than the Radian one I had previously.
quality lower parts kits are always great to have on hand

A little bit of grease is also an option

The instructions on the front pin blew my mind lol I have done it every other way except that, and it’s caused many headaches
I literally launched mine across the kitchen like 20 times trying to just do it with my hands
That grimacing look of his mouth whilst he is beating stuff with his purse, tells it all ! Man is dedicated!
I like to hold the pivot detent down with an rmr sealing plate haha

Larue 2 stage same as geissele for 89$
@@trentyackey1055 Not anymore sadly. They recently upped the price to $115. Still worth it but not the screamin deal they used to be.

Usually most of that play comes from the bolt catch lever itself in my experience. I wish someone made a BAD one piece catch.
I have three no play. Love them.
I tend to shim them with cut paper or metal. Works pretty well.
For some reason, he didnt show the spring that goes in first when installing the front pivot pin. So anyone new, a spring goes in that lil hole then the detent then the TD pin
Is it made in house or outsourced? Standard mil spec or stainless upgraded springs etc?
Made by schmid
I was looking for this exact kit like 5 months ago lol ended up getting a whole CMMG kit
Did he install the hammer pin backward?
Any advice on a complete lower to match with a BCM upper? All BCM lowers are sold out in the world apparently.
Hell yeah. I'll try this kit on the next build
Snagging some lower parts kits and a few BCG's before Colorado passes this weapons ban.
I was a little thrown off at first when he said "we get to be a little more particular with the other parts we put on"
Then pull out an A2 grip.......
But then again that is particular about what you want
I like keeping "oops kits" with my ARs
No BCM hand grip? So sad :)

Who and where are your lpk’s made?
Schmid tool
looks like whatever his name is from Community
How much you want for it
Ty gents
Claw Hammer time!
💙💙💙 good morning..
Does anyone have an idea what company makes those punches he is using? The ones with an O-Ring around the punch to protect the lower? Thanks!
I have the same set I got from optics planet
Gator tape?
The ugga dugga always works well. #sendit
I really don't get why people hide serial numbers on firearms in videos. Somebody explain why that's necessary.
I oil all the pins before installing them. Is that a bad idea?
Not at all, it will be fine
Your gun is gonna explode 100 rounds in man, it's over.
A little lube is never a bad idea.
My trigger disconnect is not wanting to reset any ideas?
Did you install your disconnector spring? It's a little tiny tapered spring that goes between the trigger and disconnector.
@@brogle_ yes another problem with it is the safety is stiff
Does this method of installation work, we'll yes or you could have the proper tools and do it tge right way but you do you boo boo!😅😊 still Love Trex
feels like a missed opportunity, bolt hold open should've had a larger bottom, milspec bolt hold open is garbage
No bad lever.... ADM UIC lower!
Very base instant cop

Agree
Bcm offers a full lower parts with a dicent triger and grip for 100 and aero for half that price
They're schmid.
Hard to beat solgw lpk that are quality parts for less than 50, includes same parts as above

Where dobyout components comr from who machines them?

As a lefty who likes very specific parts, I don’t want the safety, bolt catch, or mag release either.
average left handed comment
No one cares Mr Wrong Handed
Waiting for comments from people who will start wiggin out about the B.A.D. lever. 😆
I like that little kit .
it can be useful but lots of dummies out there who can’t use one without ND. also everytime i see one it makes the whole build look poor.🤣
I've just had failures. Loved them until the bolt catch spring is remotely weak then there are lots of locking back when it's not empty.
Phase 5 levers. Solid.
@@0v417I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm looking at mine now trying to figure out how to use one and pull the trigger after.
