The reason for that comment is CYA for the company because there are too many "Bubbas" out there that think just because they own a kitchen table, vise, a couple of files and screwdrivers that they are gunsmiths! They don't know who they are sending tools to.

The one an only time I tried working on the kitchen table resulted in a roll pin being driven out of an AR15 receiver and into the table enough that it was stuck there.
I spent the next weekend fixing the table....

I would have been tempted to shave it flush and polish the end till it shined, but I sense you weren't the aesthetic coordinator on this job.

They label most parts for many items (non gun items as well) like that as to limit their liability. This way if you do it yourself and screw it up - they are "less liable" because they told you on the label to use a Pro. Personally I have a lot more faith in myself than just about any Gun Smith I know of. Many GS's are focused on "time is money" and they don't spend enough time on the fine details as far as I am concerned. Some are just butcher's! When I do my own work time is not a factor. If it takes me 5 times longer to do something I don't care as long as the final results are what I want. I will also redo something if I am not satisfied with what I have done. The words, "good enough" are just not in my vocabulary! While I may not be the most talented Gun Smith in the Country, none of them cares as much about my guns as I do!

it's boiler plate. They are just covering themselves. you install it, something isn't right they aren't held responsible
Ok ok it was just a joke. I’m currently enrolled in the STHM school of Gunsmithing, working towards my 4th banana so things should be good.
A job's degree of difficulty in STHM terms:
1 banana = easy
2 bananas = moderately difficult
3 bananas = pushing the limits of a stock howler monkey; opposable thumbs only get you so far
4 bananas = requires the ability to communicate abstract ideas to other howler monkeys.
5 bananas = the job should only be attempted by a professional orangutan
