The order in which you assemble your gun can have an affect on it's performance. The very last screw you should tighten is the stock screw, even after the takedown pin and/or pivot pin are installed, and most certainly after the grip screws are in.

Sometimes it makes a difference, and sometimes not (tolerances and all), but as a matter of procedure, you have much fewer problems with doing the stock screw last.

I found that one out a long time ago.
