Or look at a youtube video...

Thanks so much for that instruction, especially placing the Muzzle down and pressing down on the receiver. I never saw that done or read it in any of the many instructions and videos I've seen. They must just have stronger hands and can get the slide back a tad without needing to press the receiver down and have the muzzle on a flat surface.

So, finally I have it reassembled. Until I shoot I wan't know for sure but it seems fine now.

Again much thanks!
