Might want to consider some roll pin holders while you're at it. They can come in handy. ETA: Look here for what you need.... |

These 4 will handle every roll pin on an AR-15 rifle: To remove: doityourself.com Dasco 4 1/2" X 1/16" pin punch -- #6476659 -- $3.69 Dasco 5 1/2" X 3/32" pin punch -- #6472732 -- $3.89 To install: www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm Proto 4 1/4" X 3/32" Tip Super-Duty Roll Pin Punch -- #J49332 -- $4.96 Proto 4 1/4" X 1/8" Tip Super-Duty Roll Pin Punch -- #J49018 -- $5.43 |
Uh... I would call them must have. I have hit my fingers many a time trying to get the roll pins in by hand... it SUCKS.  -C4- |

never found them to be required sort of like torque wrenches, I use Craftsman, Starett, and whatever Chinese brand is on sale at Harbor Freight. Basic AR repair tools |
The one operation that I absolutely would not want to give up the roll pin holder is installation of the bolt catch pin. That operation is much easier with a holder, at least for me.
|
I actually had no problems with that one and a hard rubber vice, slid right into place no sweat. The triggergaurd rollpin on my first build was an absolute bitch though

Brownells. Buy a good set and have them for life. The first time you slip and put a gouge in a nice lower you'll wish you had. After a few builds with a set of straight punches I "had" to learned how to use K G Gun-Kote. I couldn't stand the slips. Save yourself the trouble. |

Sears sells a Craftsman Set... I have had my set for a long time now! www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_SessionID=@@@@0462520736.1136321248@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccjdaddgjgdkmmhcegecegjdghldghh.0&vertical=TOOL&pid=00943167000&bidsite=CRAFT If you do much AR work they are worth the investment! You can buy them at a local store as well... |
