What are the required drift punch sizes needed for all work on an AR?  The only one I know about is 1/16", which is for the pin that holds the charging handle together.

I just bought a tac-latch, but I forgot to order a drift punch set.  Thre's no way this thing is going together without one.

Thanks!

Quoted:
Bushmaster sells an inexpensive set of 4 punches, which just happen to be exactly the size and type needed for ARs.  :)

Yeah, I know.  But they don't tell what sizes they are online.  I was hoping to have some this weekend so I could install the tac-latch.

Anyway, I found the 1/16" tht I needed for it down at Home Depot.

I also found a list of what's needed in the Bushy catalog.  1/16", 3/32", 1/8", and 5/32" are the ones they sell.

the army or marine tech book also has the sizes of the punches to use with what pins, etc.

you need a 5/64ths for the gas tube..., 1/16th is a bit small........
