I need to replace the spring for my bolt catch but I was unable to punch out the pin. Is there a trick to getting this out? I tried using a punch bet I couldn't get it to line up straight and it bent then broke.
Thanks in advance. |

There is a special punch designed for this one operation that is shaved on one side to allow straight-on alignment. I wouldn't try knocking out a bolt catch roll pin without one. You can't square up with a normal roll pin punch because of interference caused by the receiver.
