Re: AR Build - Do I need this?

pivot pin detent installation tool is the only special tool I consider a must-have.
It is easily made from a 1/4" bolt. Just cross-drill it so the detent pin will pass through the unthreaded shank, and cut off the treads.

I also use a set of parallel-jaw pliers to press the pins home. Much easier than the punches.
Alternately a small arbor press would do the same thing, at least for the trigger guard.
