Loc-tite was likely used on the threads of the tube, heat it up until you smell the sweet scent of it breaking down and then crank on it. Still will likely take a good strap wrench or even a pipe wrench with your tube wrapped in leather or something similar.

Didn't see any lock tite, but heated it up with a propane torch and used some channel locks and it finally came off. Next question, how will I eventually need to compensate going from a pistol buffer tube to a rifle length once the sbr is approved? Longer spring? Spacer in tube to block it off to pistol length? |

You're going A2 rifle stock? You'll of course need rifle tube, with rifle spring and buffer. If you mean simple adjustable carbine tube and stock, they are the same as the "pistol" tube you already have. - OS |

I think I can do some stock swapping and get an adjustable carbine stock off one off my other rifles. Thanks for answering the question. Didn't think to measure one of my other tubes |
