punch size?

[skeeterbait]

Anyone know what size cup tip punch is required to remove the front site pin on a 60-15? I have seen one reference that said .055 but want to verify that before buying one. Thanks.

The pin is .055" the cup punch I have is .050".

If you are a cheap, errr, frugal Scotsman like me, you may want to make your own. Start with a good 1/16" pin punch. Chuck it up in a drill stand, and use a file to reduce the diameter to 0.050". The reduced section only needs to be about 1/2" long. You can use a small round bit (or a dentist's drill bit) in a Dremel to put a cup point on the punch.
