Are you doing a complete build upper and lower receiver or just lower?
Best thing I did was copy the instructions from arfcom, laid out all the parts and took my time. I started out just using the channel lock pliers method, now I have most of the right punches and tools. The arfcom tutorial will let you know what you need and how to do it all.
Worst thing I did was trying to put the stupid thing together after a 16hr shift! Those stupid retaining pins go flying all over the place, so wear your eye protection!

I welcome any advice from those of you out there who have done this. Not to jack the thread here but if anyone has some timesaver tips or things they wish they knew in advance i would gladly welcome a PM.
