My local S-K dealer had roll pin punches priced reasonably.
Look for someone who sell all types of fasteners. Danny |

Try here for the major set and then got to Brownells for the odd ones not carried.

MSC ( www.mscdirect.com or 1-800-645-7270 )has them in several different brands including the brand Brownells sells.Look under "guide punches" in the index.
Another company that gets good reviews on the machinists sites I visit is McMaster-Carr.I"ve never purchased from them but many people like them. Most machinist tools that Brownells sells are available for a lower price from MSC etc so it's worth looking unless you're buying something from Brwonells anyway and the shipping on another item from elsewhere will offset the savings.

Won't a regular punch set work?

Ken Elmore?
Your going to need a special punch to put the bolt catch in so might as well get a whole set from him. |

Don't use a regular pin puch for a roll pin, you risk scarring your finish and injuring yourself. Especially for the trigger guard roll pin. Sears has a nice set of Craftsman roll pin punches in the sizes you need for about $20, its well worth it, believe me. I built my first lower with regular pin punches only, what a nightmare. The second one was a snap with the right tools. Just get the rollpin punch set, you'll be glad you did.

I believe bigbore is selling some roll pin punches made for some of the specific pins that make it really ease. He is advertising on the EE board. His have the dimples on the tip.
For what it's worth, I got the full set of roll pin punches and roll pin holders from Brownells (as well as the master Magna bit set) and I have gotten tremendous use out of all these tools far beyond just using them building an AR-15. I think it's worth the investment. Though if you can get them cheaper elsewhere, more power to you! |

1) If Craftsman makes them, they might be really desireable cause they will replace them every time you break them.
2) This board is great for this kind of info. Always check here first before shelling out the clams, you may save yourself a lot of money and not waste your hard earned sheckles on things that are worthless but didn't know. |

I'm with AKMike on this one...I too have the Brownells roll pin and roll pin holder punch sets...and the Magna Tip screwdriver set. They've made putting several lower together a snap, and the screw drivers are awesome.
Spend the money, you won't regret it in the long run. Oh,yeah, get one of those bench block hockey puck things...they're great. |
