update 30 ft lbs was incorrect. That was only the first step. It actually called for 30 back it off and back to 35lbs and then apply a little more if needed to align the groove to the port. In my case it was about 38 to 40 lbs.

Yeah thats what i'm worried about Striker. How would you would get it back out later if needed? Heat it maybe.

Im using The Complete AR-15 Complete Assembly Guide vol 2. It seems pretty thorough,but this is my first build.
