I want to order the proper punches for knocking out trigger pins from hangers and also for the roll pins to change my Rem 700 springs.

What sizes do I need or what set will give me what I need?

Thanks in advance.

Cy,
I would really recommend going to Brownell's web site and go to gunsmithing tools. I have purchased 2 sets of punchs(1 for roll pins and 1 set of standard punch's) and they were not expensive and somewhere in the range of 20-25 bucks, and they have done me well for several years now. They come in a ro;ll up pouch and I can take them with me without taking up much space. Good luck in your search.
 
I would suggest a micrometer before i took punch to anything.
 
I use the Brownells replaceable tip punches for the smaller size pins because you will end up bending or breaking them.

And WHY would you question my wanting punches???????? Digging through the nail box trying to find the right size and griding them down just does not cut it..............????????

I have enough micrometers that I keep one in every room of the house.

I'am with you. Bjohnson needs to find something else to do besides belittling people who have lajit questions.
 
Whatever you do dont buy a cheap china made set of punches. the metal is pure Chit that they are made with. I was at Sears the other evening and they had a nice set with the craftsman name for 12 bucks. I bought a set and they are legit. lee
 
Craftsman is probably still a pretty good brand. But as with everything in this brave new world, some checking is wise. From Wikipedia (which also can require some checking):

In the last 4 years, many of the hand tools sold under the Craftsman brand name are now made overseas.

Sears has reduced the warranty in effect on many Craftsman non-powered lawn and garden products including rakes, shovels, clippers, brooms, trowels, pruners, hoses, sprinklers, hose nozzles, and other small gardening hand tools. Previously it was a lifetime warranty which on August 2, 2012, was reduced to 25 years with receipt required. The lifetime warranty does not include precision hand tools, such as calipers and torque wrenches with the exception of beam-style torque wrenches.

Power tools have a one-year warranty.

Craftsman tools came under fire in 2004 in a lawsuit accusing Sears of false advertising and consumer fraud for questionable use of the "Made in USA" slogan.

Cold and nasty up there this weekend, Cy?

Global warming is right around the corner. We used to call that Springtime.

Francis you are a funny dude. No unfortunately NO global warming here in Sunny Manitoba. Just trying to stay sane mucking around in the man cave playing with all kinds of reifle stuff. Getting geared up for this coming season. Temps have not been to bad so far. I do not think we have hit any lows here at home in the -30 range. I did have -42 my first morning when I went to work in Northern Manitoba.

-30! -42!! Here is what Texas is like when it gets "cold": Day 1 40F, Took a brisk walk lasting about 2 blocks before genitals froze under a down jacket. Day 2 30F, Didn't get out of bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, stopped shaving and bathing. Day 3 28F, Same wardrobe, ate breakfast of cornflakes and bourbon. Day 4 31F, same as day 3 except teeth started growing green slime mold. Day 5 35F, skipped the corn flakes and went straight to the bourbon. Day 6 29F, didn't get out of bed except to go to the bathroom. Day 7 34F, didn't get out of bed for anything. I guess this example explains why the Canadians are the way they are. Tim
