If you don't have roll pin holders/punches, I've done quite a few with just a set of channel locks. Tape the hell out of the receiver and the channel locks though, and even then you run a pretty high risk of scratching the receiver.

I don't have the punches so I used a lot of painters tape to avoid scratches and I took a regular sized nail, cut the tip off with my needle nose pliers making it a flat end then used a hammer to tap it in and it worked with no problem.

You can get these on Amazon for so cheap, it's almost pointless not to have them. So many uses for roll pin punches and a complete hex key set.

The part that hurt the most for me to buy was the Geissele reaction rod. Expensive, but god damn if it doesn't make working on barrels, handguards, muzzle devices, gas blocks a million times easier.
