I've been looking at gunsmithing tools. I've owned my primary weapon for more than five years and like everything I've owned for any length of time, including three other firearms, it's time to take it apart.
The thing of it is, I already own a decent set of screwdrivers from large to nearly microscopic, torx, hex, etc. Under these circumstances, is a kit like this really necessary? Does anyone have any better recommendations?
As for the pins, there's a lot of pins! Are pins fairly standardized or unique to each firearm? Can pins be reused, or should they be replaced upon removal? Aside from the firearm manufacturer, where might I obtain reliable pins?
I'm fairly certain I'll have to augment with a good hammer and punch set. What else might I be missing?
Thanks in advance!
