Best Gas Tube Roll Pin Install Method
#1
Am buggering up the gas tube roll pin installation of my last three builds and need advice for the best method. My roll pins always end up sticking out about 1/32 inch no matter how much I hammer them with my little Lyman gunsmith mallet and a brass punch. I try to finish them off with a small steel punch, but it just bounces off the pin and mars my beautiful Vltor gas block.

I've been trying a method where you brace the block against a wood block, then bend a paper clip so that it comes up thru the gas block roll pin hole and sticks out just enough to hold the roll pin in place for that first critical whack.

What do you guys do cuz I'm frustrated?
