Step 1: Prepping the parts.
Using a 5mm drill, drill out the hammer pin holes. With a 4mm drill, drill
out the trigger pin and trigger stop pin holes. Then fit the side plates to the
bottom plate, and the front and rear plates. The hole in the rear plate
goes to the right. They should fit tight. A small amount of filing may be
necessary. Do not make the parts to loose as they snap together to
ensure the box is square.
