Quoted: All the other ones are pulling your leg---this is the correct, non-prank method Quoted: Quoted: The hardest part is getting the buffer tube and stock off. If the castle nut is staked, you are going to have problems removing the buffer tube and accessing the spring. |

For you, a competent AR-15 gunsmith. You have no business working on one if you have to ask that question. Read up, get educated on the weapon before you kill somebody. it's not like there isn't a wealth of information in the AR-15 Tech forum on the top left of your screen.
The question itself makes me want to stick my head up my own ass and scream like a banshee. |

You're going to need to remove your trigger group because the hammer gets in the way, even when cocked.
Remove grip, selector spring and detent, selector, then the hammer and trigger pins. Pull all that out, then you'll need to start on your buffer tube. Pull off the stock, use the necessary wrench to remove the castle nut, then pull off the buffer tube. Pretty straightforward after that. |

armorer level task, take it to a credible gun smith or risk permament damage to your rifle http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img00129_20101226_1008-tfb.jpg that was the result of an improperly installed buffer spring. BS that was caused by an improperly staked gas key. Plus that looks like an AR10. Everyone knows the AR10 and AR15 buffer spring change out is totally different. |
