    Re: My awesome Gunsmith skills

    When I go to punch the pins back in, are there any tips? Should I beat them in pretty hard? Should I coat them with oil or lithium grease?

    I always coat them with a bit of normal gun oil and whack them in with a 1/4" or 3/8" punch. I try to whack them about as hard as I had to whack them to get them to come loose.

    It's not a scientific process. I dont think you will do yourself a dis-service by whacking them too hard. Those pins are strong and if you are using a normal hammer and punch (and assuming your last name isnt stallone), you probably wont hurt anything.
