Very useful tool would recommend

Excellent Punch For FSB Pins (06/08/2010)

This punch was purchased to remove the tapered pins from the FSB of my AR. It worked perfectly, no muss, no fuss. Essentially, it looks like a nail set punch, but of a much higher quality than one can purchase at the local hardware store. Plus, it's made in the USA. It caused no damage to my tapered pins and aided in removing as well as re-installing my AR's front sight base. A must have for AR armorers.

This one works! (31/07/2011)

This punch is one of the best/ most used punches. If you want or do alot of taper pin removal/installations then this is for you!

Handy and works (04/08/2012)

Simply worked as intended both for removal and reinstallation of the pins. No damage or skidding. Used to remove and reinstall 3 different sets of pins.

didn't do it's job (09/02/2015)

Was driving out tapered pins of USGI triangle sight of my 6920 and I was driving from the right side. The pins didn't even bulge after some heavy whacks. The tip of this pin even chipped off.

I was able to remove the taper pins by using a regular pin puch (oversized one) so that it prevents overshooting and marring the FSB.

FSB removal (01/06/2016)

Just used the Taper Pin Starter putting a DPMS float tube on a Colt HBar. Pins were a BEAR to remove. Did'nt think I was going to get them out. Had the right direction going from the start. Punch mushroomed on the first pin and a piece of steel flew hitting my hand. Safety glasses are a MUST! Once pin moved just a little it fell out. Second pin, same fight. Going back on I put a small dab of Never-Seize at each pin hole. Would'nt do that again cause pins are about a sixteenth of a inch shy of factory position. Used a sandbag under sight housing during the out and in. Brownells Front Site Bench Block may have helped removing pins but float tube would'nt clear it to install pins. Both ends of the pins looked fine when finished. Edge of punch is ugly. May need to buy another one. Still 5 stars for that STARRETT punch.

The right tool for the job! (03/11/2016)

Nothing was working trying to drive the taper pins out of my 6920's A2 sight so I could proceed with a handguard w/ lo-pro gas block project. A gunsmith buddy suggested gently heating and applying a penetrating oil several days in a row and tapping *gently*. Followed the plan and used this punch. About 10 good strokes each with the bench block on a concrete floor rather than the bench and badda boom badda bing, pins tapped out with no damage to sight, pins or barrel.
