Want to borrow a bolt catch punch

Recommended Posts

Trying to install a fancy new bolt catch and my punches are a bit too thick to give me a clean path through the path on the bolt catch ears. Apparently there is a specialized punch for this and I don't feel like spending the extra 20 bucks for it.

 

If anybody here has one, PM me and I'll send you my address. Thanks!

I've got captive punches and role pin punches but I use slave punches for that stuff too. i'd rather just do the job.

I have a set of punches, even one thats the right size for the hole. The girth on the rest of the punch keeps me from getting a straight angle through the holes, though, as I have to angle it around the ridge on the magwell. :(

Not necessary. blue painters tape both sides of catch and never scratched one.

Not really concerned with scratches, my punches are just too thick on the back end to go straight through the pin hole.

 

I forgot to mention that I'm trying to remove the existing milspec bolt catch to install the new one.
