[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How to remove buffer spring tube...?

Posted: 9/7/2004 9:07:25 PM EDT

I'm trying to remove a RRA arms "Entry Stock" and replace it with a fixed telestock. I cannot determine how to remove the old tube from the lower receiver. It seems like it's glued on or something is holding it besides the threads. I removed the Entry Stock with ease, but that's where I got stuck. The black tube which houses the buffer spring that the old stock attaches to will not budge. I've even tried channel locks, but stopped because I was putting teeth marks into the aluminum. Anyone else run into this problem? Thanks.

I assume you are referring to the receiver extension tube, aka buffer tube.

There should be a squared-off nub at the rear end. Use correct-sized wrench and unscrew.

Failing that, clamp the flats into a smooth jawed vise and twist the LRE off by turning the pistol grip.
