Thanks for the video pianoman.  After watching it, it seems like I'm going through the right steps, but the step at 8:03 in the video is where I'm having my hitch.  It simply won't snap in!   :bash:

Woodchuck, that's a mighty tempting offer!  :chuckle:

Sorry to ask the obvious, but when you get to the point of putting in the slide stop, can you look through the hole and see daylight all the way through?  I've had to give mine a gentle love tap to get it in because of tight clearance. 
The only difference between a butt kisser and a brown noser is depth perception.

Got it fixed! 

Turns out there was a bit of a metal burr in the recess where the slide pin bracket is supposed to snap in to.  Just had to grind that down a bit, and it went right together. 

Thanks for all the help guys.  And next time, I will completely disassemble the gun and put it in a box before shaking it until its assembled.  If that doesn't work, I'll just toss it out the window.  ;)
If you don't stand behind the troops, please feel free to stand in front of us.
