| OK. started to replace stock but I cannot get the bolt to unthread from the fixed stock so that I can remove it. Any ideas? |

You mean the screw in the back that goes into the buffer tube? Go to home depot or whatever and get a stubby flat-head screwdriver. The handle will be full-size, with the other part being real short/stubby. Get the wide-tip one. With muzzle down, rifle clamped between your legs, put your weight on the screwdriver as you turn it. If you've done all this already, I dunno then.  Nuke from orbit maybe? Kill it with fire?

if it's locktite...you need to use heat. 1.) soldering iron...place it on the bolt for a minute and then try using the screwdriver (the wider the head the better) 2.) hair dryer 3.) heat screwdriver with open flame and then place on bolt for a minute or so...this will take longer because the bolt is long |

If it is slipping you have the wrong size screwdriver. Here is how I remove them. Tools needed: CORRECT size screwdriver that has a square shaped shaft versus round. Wrench to fit shaft. Use your legs as a clamp, use the palm of your hand and put your weight into the screwdriver and use the wrench on the square part of the screwdriver shaft and break it loose. |
