The MSU gas cyclotron stopper system is designed to decelerate rare isotope ions from energies from a few MeV to energies in the 10 keV range. The ions are decelerated in low pressure helium gas in vertical cyclotron magnet. The magnet and the system for decelerating the ions is mounted on a high voltage platform. The cyclotron gas stopper magnet is a warm iron superconducting cyclotron sector dipole. The maximum field in the gap (0.18m) is 2.75 T. The outer diameter of magnet yoke is 3.8m, with a pole radius of 1.1 m and Br = 1.8 T m. The desired field shape is obtained by the pole profile. Each coil of the two halves is in a separate cryostat and connected in series through a warm electrical connection. The entire system is mounted on a high voltage platform, and will be cooled by six two-stage 4.2 K pulse tube coolers. The magnet coils and their cryostats have been fabricated. The iron poles have been machined and assembled. This paper presents the progress on the magnet system fabrication and assembly
