It has been years, but long tapered slave pins made like a dull ice pick, make things easier to get lined up. Then you can drive in the real pins pushing out the slaves.

My method involves a drill press with a vise installed. If you don't have that, use the tapered punch method described above.
If you do have a drill press with vise, clamp the receiver in the padded vise with the back(stock opening ) up. Drop the hammers and springs in place. (It has worked well for me to put the receiver flat against the fixed vise jaw.) Chuck a flat screwdriver blade or small chisel not over 1/4" wide in the chuck, blade going side to side in receiver. The hammer has a depression that the blade will set into. As you push the hammer down with the quill feed, the pin holes will line up. At that point, lock the quill and you have both hands available to start the pin. Then move over to the other hammer and repeat, pushing the pin all the way into place. Takes less time to do than describe.
By the way, unplug the drill press before starting the process to prevent any uh-ohs.
