A specially made, slab-sided punch clears left side of the magazine well allowing bolt catch pivot pin to be removed by driving it to the rear.
Charlies features unique tools that help the clone builder get the job done. Most often, removing or inserting the bolt catch pin will result in a scratch on the raised portion of the adjacent magwell. This tool is built to have a smooth side away from the receiver and avoid the scratch.
What is the best way to install or remove a bolt catch pin without scratching the surface of your receiver? This is it. Why does Charlie's bother to sell this tool? Well, we do not expect you to come to our Website to buy a Brownells tool, but we do want our customers who are buying a lower receiver or lower parts kit to find what they need here. Are we making money selling this to you? Probably a dollar or buck-fifty, but we want to be of service and add convenience to our customers.
