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.... |

What do roll pin holders do?
For occasional use, can I get by with just the punches? |

They hold the pins and make starting them easier. They're definitely a luxury, not a "must have" item. |

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.

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. |
