Lyman ULTIMATE GUNSMITHING KIT

The Lyman ULTIMATE GUNSMITHING KIT is a comprehensive toolkit built for hunters, shooters, and gun enthusiasts who service their own firearms—whether you're breaking down a rifle after a season, installing new optics, or doing preventive maintenance in your shop. Rather than buying tools piecemeal, this kit combines the essentials in one organized package, giving you the right tool for the job without guesswork or trips to find that one missing punch.

What sets this kit apart is its thoughtful selection of real gunsmithing tools, not just generic hardware-store fare. You get a dedicated gun maintenance mat with a protective cushioned surface and storage compartments for tiny parts that vanish the moment you set them down. The hammer-and-punch collection includes interchangeable brass, nylon, and steel heads so you can tap out pins and springs without marring receiver walls or trigger assemblies. The roll pin punch set uses rounded tips that center properly on roll pin ends—a detail that saves frustration and prevents slippage damage. An electronic digital trigger pull gauge lets you measure pull weight to 1/10-ounce accuracy, essential if you're tuning a trigger or verifying factory specs. The Pro Drive torque wrench (adjustable to 80 in-lbs) takes the guesswork out of scope base and action screw installation—critical for both reliability and safety.

The 68-piece screwdriver bit set covers slotted, Phillips, hex (standard and metric), 6-lobe, and specialty screws you'll actually encounter on modern rifles and shotguns. A universal bore guide with interchangeable tips fits centerfire rifles from 17 to 416 caliber, plus an adapter for modern sporting rifles, and it includes a solvent port for clean application. The picks and brushes round out the kit for detail work and carbon removal in tight spaces.
