Removing A2 stock RE tips.

[k_cheerangie]

I have a RR complete lower and I am trying to remove the A2 receiver extension so I can put on a BCM m4 stock assembly. But for the life of me I cannot get the damn thing off I put it into a padded vise used a wrench and torqued on it a little. But nothing is it really that hard or am I missing something.

I had a same thing on mine. They used a red LocTite to keep it in place. Just secure a lower somehow and use a lot of force to turn and break that LocTite

Cool let me go try it again.

Get a torque wrench, set it at 40 psi and attach the armorer's tool with the reciever extension tube adapter on it (keeping it locked in a vice - preferablly with the magwell vice block. You can also try heating the area of the lock tite a little before you do that.

I had an A2-stocked rifle once that must have been assembled by 800lb. gorillas - it was so tight the flats on the end of the buffer tube actually rounded off and I ended up having to use a pipe wrench to get it loose. And come to find out, there was no loktite used at all!

NO! DO NOT USE "Alot of force" to remove it... Use HEAT!
Apply heat to the buffer tube just behind the lower.
the heat will break the locktite and let you remove the tube WITHOUT destroying
the tube or your lower...

Use A LOT of heat from a commercial heat gun. I recently work on some Colt and GM Hydra M16A1s that were very tight and required a lot of heat and gloves.
