Solgw Armorers Punch Set 16 Piece

The Solgw Armorers Punch Set 16 Piece is a complete gunsmithing tool collection built for AR-15 builders, armorer-level maintenance, and serious rifle work. Whether you're installing a bolt catch, staking an endplate, or breaking down a receiver for service, this 16-piece set eliminates the frustration of improvising with the wrong tool. Each punch is QPQ treated for durability, and the variety of sizes and styles means you'll have the right tool for the job without having to buy a dozen kits.

Sons of Liberty Gun Works engineered this set around the real tasks that come up in the gunsmith's bench. The collection includes three flat tip punches, four roll pin starter punches (including one modified specifically for bolt catch installation), four standard roll pin punches, plus specialized tools for pivot pins and detent work. That's the bread and butter of AR building covered in one organized kit. The two S7 tool steel staking punches—one with a narrow tip and one wider—let you properly stake steel receiver endplates and other components without marring the finish. The non-marking delrin utility tool rounds things out, so you can work on softer surfaces or final assembly without damage.

This isn't a beginner's light-duty set, and it's not a one-trick pony. If you're building multiple rifles, working on customer guns, or just want professional-grade tools that'll last, the investment pays for itself the first time you don't have to jury-rig a punch or buy a specialty tool separately. The QPQ treatment resists corrosion and wear, so these punches will stay reliable through years of use on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this set enough for AR-15 building and maintenance?

Yes. The 16-piece set covers the most common punches and tools you'll reach for during AR-15 assembly, disassembly, and armorer-level work. The included roll pin punches, bolt catch tool, and staking punches handle the vast majority of jobs that require a punch set on an AR platform.

What makes the bolt catch punch special?

One of the roll pin starter punches is modified specifically for bolt catch installation, so it's sized and shaped to work correctly with that component without requiring adaptation or workarounds.

Can I use these punches on other firearms, or are they AR-15 only?

While this set was designed with AR-15 work in mind, the variety of flat tip and roll pin punch sizes means they can be useful for other gunsmithing tasks and firearms work where those punch types are needed.
