I need to get a good set of roll pin punches. Looked today at lowes, and it was a 6 piece set (3 of which are too big for AR use) for $30.
Can anyone recommend a good quality punch set (12-20 assorted punches) for a decent price?

I bought this set several months ago and it has been outstanding so far.

That's the exact one I was looking at. Thanks sir.
One thing that set doesn't have is roll pin starter punches. I'd recommend having them, but they can be found for less than $10 on ebay or amazon.
The law tactical folding adapter is really the only reason I built one. I like the ability to have a decent length barrel and it still be compact.

Finished up my custom made AR wrench made from some stainless steel scrap. I got the epoxy scale blanks and brass retainers off ebay. Glued and bolted the scales in place then worked them over. The epoxy scales came out fine but I had to wear a car painting mask as the debris went everywhere while shaping and finish sanding. This thing is a beast and should last many lifetimes.

Well, I just ordered a Rise Armament Super Sporting Single Stage Trigger (RA-140-SST) for the SIG MCX. Trigger pull will be much nicer.

Bought a second G42 BUG. Wife kept taking first one so often I ended up having to pull the IAI 380 BACKUP from retirement for the last two months. I'll put some range & good stuff down the pipe next week after the rain moves out, then put it in service. Wife asks me to write "HER" G42 Ser# on the fridge so she doesn't accidentally take mine. That was considerate of her! Lol.
Been packing up my reloading gear thanks to DCF until I get the office moved out of the spare bedroom and then I can set up a reloading room with a lock on the door. It doesn't matter I've had the boys since March 2015 and they've never been hurt by my reloading in the front room, oh no we can't have such dangerous stuff around 11 & 12 year old boys. I shouldn't complain as I will be getting what I've I wanted just a lot of extra work without good help to do the work that I'm not physically able to do other than my wife and grandsons. The wife's overworked as it is and the boys are willing but take close supervision and somethings they're just to young to be doing like heavy lifting
