PS: Make sure the tube is oriented correctly before you pin it. The block sits lower than the upper receiver , therefor the tube steps down into the block from the receiver.

OK, so find a metal rod (diameter of a paper clip over which the roll pin can fit). Put the roll pin over the rod, insert the rod and align, and then gently advance the roll pin.
The tube is definitely aligned to the upper. I will make sure I use the gun grease sparingly. And I'll use my roll pin holders to advance it to the point where I can start to tap it in.
Thanks much!
