Tuning the AirArms CD Trigger

[Turnup]

OK chaps, this is a really basic question in which I expose my lack of DIY skills and blokeness:

What tool do I need to drive out those pins neatly?

I'm also looking for something (same tool I guess?) to get the pins out of my Sako Finnfire bolt so I can disassemble it.

TIA

You could purchase a set of pin punches (careful as the sets suitable for motorcars are rather too big for firearms), or it is possible to get by with a set of cheap drills (use the back end as a punch and grind the pointy end flat) if the pins are not too solidly in place. If you are really keen, punches for roll pins have a shaped nose to centralise in the pin, but will not work very well with plain pins so you need two sets.

As above for me essjay & Turnup, Great pics & I didn't know there were dedicated punches for roll pins, next job is a google search & a wibbly wobbly web purchase. Thanks mates!

Thanks for that, well put together (scuse pun).

I have both a TX and PS, so will do some tinkering when I get time...the summer then

Just a thought, but a really good, gunk free way of polishing is to use micromesh if you can get it.

Rubber cushioned and leaves no mess, and unlike a dremel, it wont polish edges you dont want it to (although I love my dremel....it's an electrical swiss army knife).

The tool/s you need is a ROLL PIN PUNCH SET. Buy the best you can, but not the long ones.
