you can use a drill bit to hammer it out, but do not drill it out. buy some punches, you can get a set for as cheap as $10.00

Yeah, it is much cheaper to but the right tool than to replace parts of an AR.

If you don't have a roll punch set, you can get a regular punch set from the hardware store. I think I got mine for $11-12.

Go buy a punch. They're cheap at the hardware store. Don't muck up your gun by being lazy.

Ge a drill bit of the correct size, cut off only the shank.
Grip the drill bit shank with pliers, preferably small vise grips. Set aside. Get a large vise grip, tape the jaws so they won't scratch. Now, holding the small pliers and drill bit shank, use the large vise grips to press out the pins. Adjust and squeeze, adjust and squeeze. Easy. A lot better than hammer and punch. |

Or, use a hammer and punch, as intended.

If you really want to be cheap use a nail.
