Go to Sears and buy a Craftsman punch set, as it's not uncommon to break the 1/16" punch messing with your AR15s/M16s.
That way you can get a new one for zero cost when that happens.....  Mike |

the taper pin punch is handy for replaacing your FSB and the roll pin starter set is great!

Do I need a delrin punch? It seems the main difference between the punch sets specifically for AR-15's and just general punch sets availalbe at hardware stores are that the ones for AR's have delrin punches. |

I have been using this punch set for years. Very high quality. I have used it on 1911's, 10/22, AR etc. (It was given to me as a gift, link is for referance)
Sears general purpose punches (Tweak's link) are cheaper and more available w/ lifetime warranty. Not as nice to use though. |

The Companion line (linked) lack the lifetime warranty of the Craftsmans. Also, the 3/32 punch needs to be ground to clear the hump in the mag well so the lower doesn't get scratched while installing/replacing the bolt catch. |

Ooops...your right Tweak. Didn't notice the Companion part (thought the price was too good  ). I was thinking about the Craftsman ones that I have for general use.
