Should just unscrew. Got the stock off already?

Yes. And that's what I thought. It should just unscrew. But that thing is on tight. I actually wound up twisting the actual end off with a stock wrench, so that's a first. I'm guessing if the factory doesn't use loctite, then someone else did. Because it certainly looks like there is some on there.

I read someplace to soak in water for 24 hours to weaken the red thread locker.

Thanks guys. It came off, but I destroyed the tube in the process. Which wasn't a big deal since it was being replaced with a carbine tube.

How did you get it off eventually? Did you just torque it off? I have the same situation. I want to put a carbine tube on and can't get it off.

I heated up the rear of the receiver and wound up using a vice grip. It appeared they did use loctite. There are no hidden pins or anything holding the tube on.
