I did a quick search
I have a stripped upper and a lower that needs to be put together.
I am looking for a set punches.
Thanks for the help.

You don't need anything special.  I got my punches at Sears.

This is handy but it's not necessary.

I bought this roll pin punch set from Brownells They work on other pins besides roll pins.
Also, I'd highly reccomend at least buying a couple of roll pin holders, for getting those really short roll pins started, such as gas pin tube. I got This one and This one too. They seem to be the perfect variation for different size roll pins. I've done my first two builds with them. They sure saved me some headaches, and crawling around the floor on my hands and knees looking for pins!

Good luck

I got a set from Harbor Freight. They worked fine for me.

Only need a couple of sizes from the kit.  Price is right.
