farshot, thanks for the info on scope mounts, I'm trying not to over complicate but tend to over think details sometimes. I have ordered some bases from B-Square to allow the use of Weaver rings. Its a two piece set up not sure how it will play out yet. I have looked at some of the Dr Optic sights you speak, how do you like it?

Reference disassembly, the trigger plate screw on mine was tight but did break loose. I went to the AR site referenced in a previous post and found some good information on taking the gun apart.
