Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - recommend me a good punch for removal of the bolt catch?
Posted: 1/3/2016 11:13:08 PM EDT
anyone have a suggestion of a quality, long reach punch that would be good for taking the bolt catch roll pin out of the lower?   I've broken about 3 of them and tired of buying junk

Brownell's makes one just for that one task.  Well worth it.

I think I have the Brownells punch that is flat on one side. There is also one by KAK industry that looks okay, but no experience with it:

stainless roll pin punch
