Got to get some real punches soon. Well, I have a couple, but neither was the right size.
I recommend not using a regular punch like I did. It was "almost" the perfect size which resulted in the bolt visiting my gunsmith to remove the "almost perfect punch" A roll pin punch would have avoided this drama.
