How do I assemble a firing pin assembly?

Hello all,

so I picked up an 80% kit off gun broker, cause everywhere else was sold out. I was kinda expecting some instructions or something. Sadly its just a pile of parts for both the slide and lower. Plus I'm pretty sure the kit is missing a trigger assembly. Anywho, this thing is 100% disasembled. The only thing thats in 1 piece is the slide spring that keeps the slide moving back to the firing position. The fire control group is completely dissembled. Pretty sure the parts are all there, but that's the only thing I can say for it.

This kit is supposed to be a G19 from Polymer 80. And, to the sellers credit, every video I've looked up on the polymer 80 lowers, shows the same parts included. They all just show the slide in one piece already. so I can't find any video where the kit's slide is also just a pile of parts. Do we have any places for folks like me to start looking for this info?

Ah ha! Finally found a video that shows exactly what you need to do to get this thing assembled!


^Just in case anyone else has my issue. Thanks for the...help? Took me 3 days of interweb and youtube searching to find that. Google was seriously burying those results to the 12th page for me. I was hoping someone here had a link saved.

Slide the spring onto the striker. Compress the spring and install the spring cups, wide end toward the firing pin end of the striker. Slide the striker assembly into the liner, aligning the tab with the slot in the back of the liner. Slide the liner into the slide.
