I did not want to hijack anyone's thread.
I have read that Colt may have staked some of the fixed collapsible stocks.  Where do I look to verify this.  I have tried to loosen my stock.  No luck.   Don't want to heat.  Where do find loctite?  Specifically the stuff that loosens it.

You can e-mail me info if you wish.

I highly doubt that it's staked.  You'll see the staking marks between the stock nut and receiver end plate. Try Kroil or liquid wrench let it soak in well for 10 minutes.

My 6400 was staked in a couple of places.  Look at the slotted castle nut.  A steel punch on the edges of the slots and a hammer, got it past the staking.  It will mar the finish on the slotted nut, but I had no intention of reusing the fixed telestock.  There are wrenches available, but I didn't have one at the time.  For reinstalling a new tube/receiver extension, it is recommended to use a little bit of blue loctite on the threads instead of staking.  This is to prevent loosening.  Loctite is available at any auto parts store or similar.  If you are looking for something to help loosen the tight nut, use any good penetrating oil, but that will not help if the nut has been staked.  Good luck.

Yea, the stock cant be reused.  You need to replace the extension tube and stock (the whole thing except the spring and buffer).
