You can make pin punches if you have a lathe or drill press.
I start by matching the pin to be moved with a slightly smaller drill bit. I will then use that drill bit to drilling int to the end of...
I have always believed it to be a BRNO ZZK.
Someone said it was in 7x57 as well
Are replicas of milsurp such as those made by Norinco, the model 305 and the later model SKS rifles, the AKS56 manufactured for the civilian market and the Uncle Ho's Lee Enfield copy in 7.62...
