Roll pin punch set recommendation

[bigbearbear]

Looking to buy a roll pin punch set and would like to have some recommendations. I don't work on my guns too much but is planning to do some modification to a shotgun that will require the use of a punch.

I have a AR-15 that could use a nicer trigger.

So I thought this will be a good time to get myself a good set of roll pin punches.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

These have been all I’ve ever needed: https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...prod38883.aspx

Grace USA makes some good quality sets at a fair price.

I can't argue against getting a good roll pin punch set, but if you think you need a better trigger the punch set is not going to do any benefit.

Honestly I think most sets that midway and brownells sells are decent. Do yourself a favor and learn to use them properly (unlike me). As in rather than bending half your punches, YouTube and learn about starter punches etc.

For the bolt catch roll pin on an AR15 upper, this special punch is very useful if not a must to avoid maring your receiver. I've swapped out bolt catches to upgrade to extended release you push with your trigger finger, and also swapped one to the Hellfighter "fixed mag" bolt non-catch.

Stay away from the ones on Amazon! I love Amazon but the the small punch I got bent first time I tapped it.

The Hong Kong specials on Amazon are good for single use.

I just go to harbor freight and buy a set.

If used properly they last quite a long time.

I’ve got a nice brass set I use on 1911’s and nicer guns. However, the set I use most of the time is a wheeler set I bought off amazon and the specialty bolt catch roll pin holder from brownel’s honestly it sounds like this is all you need. You can basically do everything you want on an ar with this kit and a few roll pin holders.

Tekton punch set from Amazon. Broke of the tip of a punch while hammering in a hardened pin. Email vendor and got replacement punch at no cost. Highly recommended

For delicate work on ARs and old shotguns a punch set from Harbor Freight is just the beginning. Afterwards you
want to go to the Plumbing section and get the real tools for all your fine gunsmithing needs.

I don't think Harbor Freight has roll pin punches.
