Is there any special kind of punch anyone is using to take the pin out that holds the bolt in?  I got two out tonight, but bent my punches - even after letting lube soak in for awhile.

There is no substitute for high quality, properly fitting punches.  :lol:  'Course you know that ... Now!  Sorry, but that's just the way it is. Even then, you'll still bend one now & then.

I think I will invest now in a good set.  Just finished sending TC an order for all the parts inside the frame.  Ordered two pins just in case.  Thanks for the reply.

Make sure that you have the right size punch,And push
the bolt in just slightly to take the pressure off it before
tapping, should come right out...... :wink:

Thanks, I don't think I was pushing the bolt in and that is why it was so hard.  I am going this weekend to find a good punch set.

Brownells sells a set of hard plastic "nylon front-sight drift punch" that I like. They come in a package of 3 and are ~5$.

Look for item # 080-478-000.
