Use a heat gun/torch on the receiver extention, not the lower receiver, to break the bond if Loctite was used.

Being a preban , it might be loctited on ,
or just a bit rusty in the threads. If it's a Car version , it MIGHT be staked on. (look for "dimples" near the threaded end) If its just tight , pad the lower in a vise , and put a piece of metal tubing over your wrench, (for leverage). Use a good wrench that FITS (not pliers or visegrips). Turn slowly (counterclockwise of course) |

Well so much for doing it myself. I don't have a vice or a heat gun so I will just call my local gun shop and see what they say.
Thanks anyway. JBritt |

Actually it's aluminum and that don't rust.
And the heated part will expand so I would gently, let me say tah again, gently, apply heat the reciever, not the reciever extension, with a propane torch with one of those fan thingy's. Have a friend apply "gentle but firm" torque to the extension while doing so. |

Well I am hardheaded, which turned out to be a good thing. I applied some wd-40 and let it soak for a few minutes. I then lay the receiver on the carpet and placed my knee on it and without much effort at all it come loose.
Thanks for all the help. JBritt |
