Look at the very back end of the tube. See that raised portion? Get a crecent wrench and twist it off.

Pok, I thought about that but it looks like plastic. How much can you screw until it breaks?

I have only removed metal tubes, but if you don't use too much force it will come off without breaking. It went on with that amount of force and didn't break, so...

If the buffer tube that was used with the original A2 type stock is indeed plastic, I'd say don't bother trying to save it. If it's plastic just torque that sucker out of there with the concern to spare the lower and not the buffer tube. If it's metal, aluminum probably, then go ahead and try to remove it to save it.
I wouldn't think that a plastic buffer tube would be all that difficult to remove from the lower receiver, should give pretty easily unless some goofy person used a cement of some sort. |

Quoted: Pok, I thought about that but it looks like plastic. How much can you screw until it breaks? The plastic part should be a spacer. Under that is a hard point for a wrench. |

Good news, my new butt is now on! It took about 15 minutes of screwing hard, but it finally came! [:D] I think they use Loc-Tite or something, because this thing was on there solid. BTW, crescent wrench did the job.
