Suitable for use in Installing and removing firearm pins Use with pin punches Gunsmith workbench tasks Standard firearm assembly work Tasks requiring a brass striking surface Gentler strikes with nylon or rubber heads Heavier work with a steel head Positioning small pins at the starting point Controlled fitting of firearm accessories For users who prefer interchangeable striking surfaces instead of multiple separate hammers Why choose the Real Avid Armorer’s Master Hammer? Approximately 567 g or 20 oz weight About 241 mm in length Forged construction Full-length metal handle improves balance Four interchangeable striking heads Steel striking head Brass striking head Nylon striking head Rubber striking head Removable soft striking cover Integrated storage for interchangeable heads Magnetic pin starter built into the handle Pin starter made of stainless steel Ergonomic, non-slip handle Suitable for both delicate and more forceful controlled striking Technical specifications Manufacturer: Real Avid Model: Armorer’s Master Hammer Product type: gunsmith hammer Weight: approximately 567 g Manufacturer listed weight: 20 oz Length: approximately 241 mm Manufacturer listed length: 9.5" Construction: forged with full-length metal handle Interchangeable heads: 4 Head materials: steel, brass, nylon, and rubber Additional cover: removable soft striking cover Pin starter: removable and magnetic Pin starter material: stainless steel Head storage: integrated into hammer construction Color: black and gray metallic tone Included in the set Real Avid Armorer’s Master Hammer Steel striking head Brass striking head Nylon striking head Rubber striking head Removable soft striking cover Magnetic stainless steel pin starter Frequently Asked Questions What are the different striking heads used for? Softer rubber or nylon is suitable for parts sensitive to finish. Brass allows controlled strikes on steel parts with a softer metal. Steel heads should only be used with appropriate steel tools or components. What is a magnetic pin starter? This is a removable tool stored in the handle, which helps hold a small pin in the correct position at the start of driving. Once the pin is started, continue with the appropriate pin punch. Is the hammer suitable for striking all firearm parts? No. Many parts, optics, thin receivers, and finished surfaces should not be struck directly. Always use a striking head, support, and working method suitable for the part and as specified by the manufacturer. Can interchangeable heads be stored inside the hammer? Yes. The hammer has an integrated solution for storing interchangeable heads, helping keep the required striking surfaces together on the workbench. Are pin punches included in the set? No. The set includes a magnetic pin starter, but standard and spring pin punches of various diameters must be selected separately. Should safety glasses be worn during work? Yes. Pins, striking tools, or component edges may shatter or slip and fly off. Safety glasses are necessary during striking work. When is the Real Avid Armorer’s Master Hammer the right choice? This hammer is suitable for users who regularly perform various gunsmithing tasks and need both soft and metal striking surfaces with one handle. The full-length handle and approximately 567 g weight provide more controlled striking force than a small universal hammer. For very small pins or delicate sight work, a lighter hammer may offer better feel. If the work requires a press, special extractor, or manufacturer-specific installation tool, it should not be substituted with a hammer of greater striking force. Recommendations We recommend always choosing the softer and finish-safe striking head, and only switching to a harder material if necessary. When removing a pin, the part must be fully supported on a suitable work block. Striking without support may bend the pin or damage the receiver. The magnetic pin starter helps to position the pin for the first millimeters, but for deeper driving, use a pin punch of the correct diameter. Do not strike directly on finished firearm parts or unhardened pin punches with the steel head. Before starting work, ensure the interchangeable head is properly secured. Always wear safety glasses and make sure the firearm is unloaded and all ammunition is removed from the work area. A multi-surface hammer for the gunsmith’s workbench The Real Avid Armorer’s Master Hammer combines a balanced forged hammer, four interchangeable heads, a soft striking cover, and a magnetic pin starter. It is a versatile tool for precision maintenance and assembly work requiring different striking surfaces.
