Looking for a 1/16 roll pin punch that won't bend, or do they all do that?
Gas tube pin is 1/16, isn't it?

If you find one please post where you got it at. I just jacked one up working on an A2 sight.

Call Steve at ADCO or go to his website and order one. He has a special punch for AR gas tube roll pins. I use them and endorse them. Denny |

You must be using one of those cheezy Craftsman punches! Ask me how I know!

I use craftsman. I haven't managed to bend one, but if I do, the replacement is free. Get several if you bend them a lot.

The easiest cure to prevent bending small pin punches is to shorten the punch shaft with a Dremel cutoff wheel so the 1/16" dia portion is 1/2-3/4" long.

No, it's a "Proto"(?), says made in USA. Thought I was safe cause it's not from Taiwan. |
