While driving in a roll pin for a forward assist on one of my AR uppers, the punch somehow got wedged inside the roll pin and the hole. Unfortunately I didn’t notice it until the roll pin was driven pretty much all the way in, and once I noticed, the punch snapped like a twig when trying to remove. (My mistake was using a slightly too small punch).
Well long story short I took a Dremel and cut/sanded the remaining portion of the punch until it was flat with the receiver. It’s still there to this day. Doesn’t impede function of the forward assist at all, but it does bother me a little. It’s on my wife’s rifle, so I can live with it.
This was back before I knew better.
