GEISSELE AUTOMATICS LLC GAS BLOCK PUNCH KIT FOR AR-15/AR-308
The Geissele Automatics® Gas Block Punch Kit is purpose-built for the removal and installation of the 0.078" (1.98mm) gas tube roll pin found on AR-15 and AR-308 rifles. Gas block roll pins can be notoriously difficult to remove, especially when corrosion, carbon buildup, or tight tolerances are involved. This specialized punch kit is designed to simplify the process while reducing the risk of bent punches and damaged components.
The kit includes dedicated punches engineered specifically for gas block work. The Starter Punch features a long tapered shaft that provides superior strength and resistance to bending compared to standard punches, making it ideal for breaking stubborn roll pins loose. Once the pin is moving, the Pin Punch is used to drive the roll pin completely out. Manufactured from properly hardened and tempered O1 tool steel, the punches are built to withstand demanding firearm maintenance and armorer work.
