How do you know what punches to use, and what is a roll pin? new to this but thought I needed it cuz I'm getting more into doing things on my guns.

You use the corresponding size punch for the size pin you want to remove. A roll pin is a hollow pin with a split down the side....it works the same as a solid pin, but it isn't quite as strong and "adjusts" for a tight fit due to the split.

roll pins hold gun parts in place. you will know by the size of the pin. punch set works great.

You want to use the punch that will cover the pin you're removing without being so large that it scars the weapon. A roll pin is a hollow pin that has a groove running the length of the pin.

I had a Mossberg.. 410 not predrilled. Never tapped before, Screwed it up, Lol, pardon the pun. Should have taken it to a Smith or somebody who knew how to tap. Also, used a hand-held drill. Bad move. Probably done better in vise and drill press

I load 9MM, 40S&W;, 308 Win, 270 Win, 30-06 Springfield, and 35 Rem. I plan on loading 45 ACP and 357 Mag when I get the dies. You're only limited by imagination, and of course dies and brass. The Lee Classic Turret Press serves me perfectly. Good luck...

There are 2 sizing dies. One for use with brass already fired in your rifle, and the other for brass used in other guns. It's a bit more complicated to use, but I wish I could exchange my other dies for the Lee Precision Deluxe.

I have just started with the Bushmaster .223. I bought the LULA right away, works great. I just bought some ammo with the stripper clips and I have to say the LULA is better for me. I can load rounds pretty fast with the LULA. The stripper clips are fast once you get that tab pushed out, but it can be difficult to push and you can get jabbed if not too careful. Worked with the stock bushmaster mag and some magpul pmags.

No, you need the hex. locking type. The round one just spin around and slip and slide. I thought I'd read that you couldn't use the hex kind but it is wrong. Don't need a chuck. hope that is helpful. I know little about drills but am learning. Drove me batty at first trying to figure out what they were talking about but nice drills Just buy or use the hex type.

There are 3 screws that are loosened by a regular screwdriver. On the back, by the screws, there is writing, showing you where to place the punches for 3 hole standard, 7 inch, 5 1/2 inch, 4 1/4 inch and 2 1/4 inch papers. Does this help?

This is a very nice little hammer that I use for putting roll pins in AR15 rifles and with projects I use my dermal tool on. It works well for that, the 5 heads makes it good for other small projects without chances of putting dings on your project. That being said I don't know much about metal stamping but hopefully what I use it for will help you.

Do not use a hammer and punch, only a glock sight tool, once you have the sight vice and front sight tool it is very easy, if you don't have them take them to a glock armor for instal

ALL roll pins are steel. Therefore for these to WORK and to be properly called Roll Pin Punches they must work on Steel. HOWEVER your Parenthetical point about red hot, leaves open the question of why you would use them on HOT pins, Sinc roll pins require them to retain their temper to work, you would not heat the pin red hot. And second, you NEVER drive a red hot pin under ANY circumstances and it would literally weld into place due to the expansion of the hot metal forming into and heating the interior surface of the hole it is in/entering. Also in regards to those who had issues using these. Roll pin punches of smaller sizes are NOT brute force items. You do Not beat on them with large hammers, you MUST make sure you are driving the pin in the correct direction, as the holes they are used in are tapered, you must make sure the punch is absolutely straight and inline with the pin you are removing and the work piece MUST be properly supported with a proper bench block that prevents the piece from shifting as well as having a hole to allow the pin to exit through. If you don't have a block available and don't have time to order one, go to the local sporting goods store and get a cheap hockey puck and drill a hole in it (slow speed light pressure, clear the bit of chips every quarter inch so the rubber doesn't melt) to make an acceptable substitute if you don't want to order one, and do NOT use a plastic/nylon mallet to drive them. use brass/copper or steel as anything that bounces loses power breaking spring tension supplied by roll pins free. I am A professional Armorer, and use roll pin punches every day. I don't break or bent them because I KNOW how to USE them!

You need to buy the parts to set up for the caliber you wont to load. Dies.Shell plate.bullet die. etc. The press will load Pistol and Rifle.

No it doesnt. But it's really not a necessity - but a nice to have. The punches are a nice size and as long as you tape up your receiver, you won't mar the finish when trying to get the roll pin completely seated. Good luck.

I believe u just use the one that was already with the weapon. I put this on a ruger lcp 380 Crimson trace.....easy to install...looks and feels great. I just recently started carrying a gun due to rise in crime. It's a great purchase....I did not order any special pin.....slips on with no prob...good luck.

While they may WORK for this, they are the wrong tool for the job. It's like using a flat bladed screwdriver for a phillips screw... Some people will say they work fine, but again, the screwdriver thing.... folks will say the same there. It's the difference in details that make the work professional. If 'mostly good enough' or 'it gets the job done' are sayings you favor, then perhaps they will be fine. Again though, there ARE punches MADE expressly for roll pins, and these are not them. They are excellent punches though.

Here's my advice my friend; and I only say this because I've been through the heartaches of trying to modernize old school pistols. I have come to the expensive conclusion that if you want a firearm with modern accessorizability, just buy a modern firearm. Btw, the FKG is a neat pistol! I hope this helps you from making my mistakes! Take care my friend!!!!!!

Yes. I specifically bought it for that reason. Yes it gives you good support to do so, its not an exact fit but I've also used it to punch out trigger guards as well. You'll need a good set of punches to do the taper pins, use a beefy one to get it started then it should be a piece of cake. They only go one way out, there's quite a few tutorials online showing how to.
