stop being a pussy and bang it in
other options are to ream the hole with a drill bit or slightly bevel the edge of the roll pin with some fine sandpaper |

See my two posts in the below thread (one with a [blurry] picture). That's what you need to do. It turns a pain in the ass into an easy thing to do.
Of course, if you have a roll pin punch already, there's no need to buy or make your own. Here ya go: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=399270 |

Roll pin holders are great.
If you don't have that I hae had one guy hold the pin in a needle nose while I get a punch and a hammer and give it a sharp whack when the pin is lined up. |

Chuck the pin up in a drill, and file taper the end that will be driving inward.
Burs or steps in the roll pin tip will allow it to catch every time. |

Ummm, why not just use vise grips?
 Tape up the jaws of the vise grips and SLOWLY squeeze the pin in.I just built a 6.8 and used a clamp on PRI block with flip up site. I used the vise grips to get it most of the way in, but when I went to seat it flush I wound up BENDING my steel pin punch!!!!!  Sometimes a little muscle is what is called for! Brian |
