The right tool for the job! 03/11/2016
Nothing was working trying to drive the taper pins out of my 6920's A2 sight so I could proceed with a handguard w/ lo-pro gas block project. A gunsmith buddy suggested gently heating and applying a penetrating oil several days in a row and tapping *gently*. Followed the plan and used this punch. About 10 good strokes each with the bench block on a concrete floor rather than the bench and badda boom badda bing, pins tapped out with no damage to sight, pins or barrel.

Just used the Taper Pin Starter putting a DPMS float tube on a Colt HBar. Pins were a BEAR to remove. Did'nt think I was going to get them out. Had the right direction going from the start. Punch mushroomed on the first pin and a piece of steel flew hitting my hand. Safety glasses are a MUST! Once pin moved just a little it fell out. Second pin, same fight. Going back on I put a small dab of Never-Seize at each pin hole. Would'nt do that again cause pins are about a sixteenth of a inch shy of factory position. Used a sandbag under sight housing during the out and in. Brownells Front Site Bench Block may have helped removing pins but float tube would'nt clear it to install pins. Both ends of the pins looked fine when finished. Edge of punch is ugly. May need to buy another one. Still 5 stars for that STARRETT punch.
