Description
The Wheeler Delta Series AR Gas Block Taper Pin Removal Tool is a dedicated gunsmithing tool engineered to drive the tapered pins that lock down A2 front sights and gas blocks on the AR-15 platform. Because tapered pins only travel out from the small end, removing them without proper alignment is one of the most frustrating and pin-damaging tasks in AR work – this tool eliminates the guesswork with the correct driving geometry every time.
Constructed from durable tool steel with a black finish, the Wheeler 1079898 provides the rigid support and precise punch alignment needed to push taper pins straight out without bending them or marring the receiver. It works on A2 front sight taper pins, Smith & Wesson single-taper pin gas blocks, and standard dual taper pin gas block configurations, covering the most common setups found on mil-spec and commercial AR-15 rifles.
Whether you’re swapping a low-profile gas block for a free-float handguard, replacing a damaged front sight post, or breaking down a build for service, the Wheeler Delta Series taper pin removal tool gives armorers and home builders a controlled, purpose-built answer to one of the platform’s most stubborn disassembly steps.
