In this M1A stripper clip guide will not cooperate. I think a Wheeler roll pin punch is a justifiable purchase. This thing will not budge and I’m scared to put too much heat on it. The don’t want to booger the gun up.

I don't know much about M1A's, but I recommend making the purchase. I've made a few bad situations worse when not using the proper punch.

Roll pin punches are a game changer. Make sure to use the correct size . It went in , it will come out.

The stripper clip pin should tap out easily. If you have used a standard punch you may have spread it apart, I did that before. The investment in RP punches is well worth it if you are going to work on any firearm.

I have a set of roll pin punches. Only way to go. Also recommend a roll pinch starter punch set. I got one of those after building my first AR lower.

I bought a cheap set off Amazon, made in you guessed it, China. Bent and broke one of the smaller ones the second time I used it. Spend the money on the Wheeler and be done with it.

I also like forceps for holding roll pins

I bought a set at tractor supply some years back. I think it had about 5 different size punches in the pack.
