Does anyone have any information on the easiest way to generally deal with roll pins? My question isn't actually related to the AR15, but I thought since the AR15 has roll pins that you guys might be of help. How do you get a roll pin started without it ballooning outwards as you start to hammer it in? THX |
| Roll pin punches. Litle bit of grease on the one end before you start wailing on it. If still too tight you can sand a chamfer to the edge to get it going. If STILL too tight, throw that sucker in some vice grips to squish it down a bit to make it easier (Just don't go Magilla Gorilla nuts on that part) |

If you want to get fancy, you can use roll pin holders to start the pin, then finish it off with a punch. Here's a handy dandy video from Brownells |
