Roll pin punch set

[caz41]

I need to get a good roll pin punch set for working on my AR. I have been just buying a cheap set from harbor freight to use, but they are pretty cheapo and will snap like tooth picks. What is a good set to get? I want something high quality that will last.

Brownells sells them in a set just for working on AR's. And you can buy the roll pin starter punches too.

IMHO the best pin punches you can buy are Mayhew brand.

Brownells has 13 pages of them. Any specific preferences?

Brownells has excellent punches. I bought the bolt catch pin punch from them, and have the set you linked to as well. However, I did make my own set (about 20 different sizes and styles) for those stubborn pins, and for the final seating of round head pins such as front sight taper pins. Having only about .100 length of the "working" diameter makes them extremely rigid, and easier to hold on target.

+1 on that. The only promlem is that they don't have a 1/16" one, so I got one from Snap On tools.
