Okay, more fun stuff ahead.

7. With the frame in one hand and with the tapered pin punch in the other AND with the pin punch through the end of the spring guide rod, say some cool word like "Para....ugh.....Para.....bellluuuuuuuuuum" and compress the spring and pop the end of the guide rod into the frame and release the punch gently. When you Compress the spring by pushing your hands together you will force the hooked end of the spring guide rod up into another area of the frame and through a SMALL hole in the frame partition. At this point the rod and recoil lever are NOT connected. This entire step is to get the recoil lever AND compressed spring into the frame.
