Start your shimming with the spur gear first. Pick a shim for the bottom and set your sector gear in next with the shim to align it properly with the spur gear. Do the same for the bevel gear. Then put shims on the tops of all three gears and assemble the mechbox (use the screws) without the cylinder parts or spring. You should have good rolling of the gear train with virtually no lateral gear play. If it's not the case , keep adjusting your shims until you get it. Real simple and no "tutorial" can help you with that.

All you need is your eyes and a small screwdriver to try to move the gears laterally.

As for setting up the ant-reversal latch with the sector gear position, some will argue for and against it. I think its a waste of time personally, as I've seen between 1 and 5 anti-reversal stops on various makes of bevel gear. Couple this with the rate of gear reduction, and what you get is miniscule sector gear movement between stop points. It's not enough to make any difference for anything, including "trigger lag".

I've never seen a piston lock back, except when is was twisted in the piston guides.
