I just used a regular 3/32" punch!

Tape up your lower receiver, to prevent scratching, and maybe a layer of cloth. Then carefully tap the pin in with a regular punch.

Just remember that there is a right side to punch the pin in from and the wrong side. You want to start it on the inletted side, and drive the tapered end of the pin.
I go all out, tape the receiver very good and I tape the roll pin to the punch. Otherwise, it take three hands. Good luck, just finished building my second lower earlier this evening. Steve |

I know somebody makes a 3/32 pin punch that has one side ground off flat, to prevent scratching the receiver. That’s the one I'm looking for.

is it possible or recommended to use a bench vice (well padded) to press all the pins into the lower reciever?

IMO, avoid the vice. |

just grind the punch yourself. I did it makes the job a lot easier and saves the expense of purchasing a "specialty tool". I still protect the reciever with tape. [sleep]
