Cool, Melkor. Glad I could point you in the direction of the book. Glad it helped you out!! I love it too. HUGE help when putting mine together.

I've never actually tried a video. But if you'd like a really good book on the subject, there's one that I bought along with the parts when I built my first AR. I got everything for that one from Model1Sales, and a DPMS stripped lower. The book was FANTASTIC and helped me put it together quickly and easily. It has pictures and very detailed instructions. The first one took me about half an hour. The three I put together after that, maybe 10-15 minutes each. One trick for you, though. When you get ready to put in some of the detents with a spring, get a good sized cardboard box. Turn it on it's side and stick your hands in the opening and put those parts on the lower inside there. I know from experience that one wrong move, and you'll shoot a tiny detent pin across your garage or living room and only a miracle will ever help you find it again! The box will keep the parts from flying away.
