I have done it at a gun show without removing the stock. Removing the trigger mechanism and pushing the breech bolt forward and holding it in the full "up" position while you assemble the gun and get the slide into position solves all problems. Then you can reinstall the trigger mechanism. It requires two very talented hands to accomplish, or preferably, three hands.
