My brass roll pin didn't hold up either. Got some steel ones on the way.dcphoto wrote:A 3/32 nylon punch would fold up under the stress of driving in a roll pin. I doubt a 1/8 or 3/16 punch would do any better. The best way to avoid marring the finish is to use the right tool; roll pin punches.G26ster wrote:A plastic or nylon punch set would eliminate all the problems with marring the pins and finish. I have searched all over the web, and cannot find them, but I see some punch "sets" that include a few plastic punches. However no sizes are given. Has anyone seen a complete plastic or nylon punch set in the traditional sizes (i.e. 3/32" 1/8", 3/16" etc.)?

if you don't have a screwdriver sometimes you just got to tighten vise grips on to a screwdriver bit and go to town!

Yes if you don't have punches already, I haven't built one but I used some when only changing a trigger guard.
