American Outdoor Brands (AOB)WHEELER AR Bolt Catch Install Punch Kit
WHEELER AR Bolt Catch Install Punch Kit is a purpose‑built, gunsmith‑grade punch set engineered to simplify and protect AR‑platform bolt catch installation and related lower‑receiver pin work. Hardened, precision‑ground tips and ergonomic shanks deliver accurate alignment, reduce pin deformation, and provide repeatable, safe installs for builders, armorers, and hobbyists.
Product Description
This compact kit contains the exact punches you need to install and seat AR bolt catch pins and associated roll pins without damaging the receiver, bolt catch, or surrounding components. Each punch is heat treated for durability, features chamfered ends to center on pins, and includes textured gripping surfaces for control during one‑handed positioning and hammer strikes. The kit is designed for bench or field use and stores neatly in a molded tray or foam insert for organized transport.
Key Features
• Gunsmith‑specific punch sizes — tailored for AR bolt catch pins and common roll pins used in lower receivers.
• Hardened, precision‑ground steel — heat‑treated tips resist mushrooming and maintain tolerances under repeated impact.
• Chamfered/relieved tips — center on pins to prevent walking and pin damage during installation or removal.
• Knurled, ergonomic shanks — secure grip for precise control and safer hammer strikes.
• Corrosion‑resistant finish — black oxide or similar coating protects against rust and reduces glare.
• Protective storage tray — keeps punches organized and safeguards tips from damage when not in use.
• Compact and portable — ideal for bench use, armory carts, and field gunsmithing.
