If you aren't a fan of installing roll pins, Aero's M4E1 receivers use threaded pins for the bolt catch and forward assist retention. This, with the integrated trigger guard, greatly simplifies the assembly process. I don't know of any other forged receivers that have this feature.

I've had some experience with roll pins from the LE6920 build I did. It's something I need to learn how to do, so I may as well start with this build. I have punches etc. and will get any others I need.
